About this listen

  • The first doctor-written guide to becoming a dad
  • Combines the medical knowledge of a health-care professional with real-life experience
  • Step-by-step - from conception to caring for your newborn baby
  • Honest, humorous and engaging, this book answers the questions you've been too afraid to ask

At this crucial life moment, knowledge is power, but you probably know less than you think: what's a cervix? Can we still have sex? Why's the midwife doing that? How do I make up a bottle, and is that poo normal? Dad's role is more important than you might ever have imagined, so what can you do to help?

"I hope that as a doctor and a new dad, I will go some way towards answering those 'man questions' that never quite make it to the pub, locker room, water cooler or any other locations where men might find themselves having meaningful chats with another guy. Think of this as a man hug in what is a potentially treacherous world of terminology, hormones, social change, sleep deprivation and finally dirty nappies with tiny feet attached." (Oscar Duke)

Very informative

I recommend this to anyone wanting to get a bit of understanding of what to expect during and post pregnancy. I appreciate the doctor talk, the dad perspective and the mum's requested do's and don'ts. I feel a far more prepped having listened to this book. Thank you Oscar and Rae

The best new father book that I've found

My wife is in her second trimester for our first child. I've read two other new father books and didn't think much of them. This is easily the best. A great mix of manual and anecdote presented clearly.
