Pregnancy isn’t just happening to her, it’s happening to both of you.
For first-time dads, it can feel like standing on the sidelines of a game you don’t understand, holding snacks and anxiety in equal measure. The Pregnant Dad is here to change that. With warmth, humor, and honesty, this modern guide helps men step confidently into one of the most transformative roles of their lives, not just as a father-to-be but as a true partner.
From the first ultrasound jitters to the long nights before birth, Calen Vale walks you through the emotional, practical, and often hilarious sides of pregnancy from a dad’s point of view. You’ll learn how to support her when she’s tired, what to actually say during mood swings (and what not to), how to prepare for labor without panicking, and how to keep your sense of self while your world turns upside down.
This isn’t a manual, it’s a survival guide with heart. A mix of real talk, relatable humor, and genuine insight that helps you grow alongside the woman you love and the life you’ve created together.
Inside, you’ll discover:
What she really needs from you at every stage (hint: it’s not just foot rubs)
How to manage your stress while being her rock
How to prepare for delivery day without feeling helpless
What to expect emotionally when you finally become Dad
How to balance love, partnership, and the chaos of new fatherhood
Whether you’re terrified, excited, or both, The Pregnant Dad reminds you that you’re not alone and that fatherhood starts long before the baby arrives.
