Pregnancy is one of the most challenging and life-changing times in a family’s life. It requires intention, dedication, and commitment to the nine-month journey. For first-time moms, it is an entire transformation. From their bodies to their state of mind and lifestyle, down to their health, pregnancy seems to take it all from them. Then what about first-time fathers? They are often confused and don’t know what to do or how to react to new changes in their wives. This ignorance can lead them to make costly mistakes, which can jeopardize their relationships and affect their wives' health. What many of them do not know is that their role during a pregnancy is indispensable and a determining factor in how smooth the pregnancy period is. Stress-Free Pregnancy for Men by Babyvarsity guides men step by step through their role during pregnancy and how to make life easier for their wives during the period.

Stress-Free Pregnancy for Men completely captivated me, not just because it seeks to make men responsible and involved in the pregnancy but also because it simplifies the process and guides them through each phase. From conception to identifying symptoms down to how to get through every week of the pregnancy, I love the simple and conversational style as it makes a sensitive period look simple and easy. Stress-Free Pregnancy for Men contains QR codes at different points where more information about childbearing can be obtained online when the code is scanned. I wish every first-time dad could have a copy of this book, as it will help them through the pregnancy journey. Kudos to Babyvarsity for this wonderful initiative.

Stress-Free Pregnancy for Men: The First-time Dad’s Guide to Supporting Your Partner, by author Babyvarsity, is a manual for men whose wives or partners are expecting a baby. The book is divided into three sections, one for each semester of pregnancy, and further into a chapter for each month of pregnancy. The author writes about each week of pregnancy, including the size of the baby at that stage, symptoms the mother is experiencing, and what the father can do to help her. There are also chapters about pre-and-post pregnancy matters. There are lists of additional online resources at the end of each of the three major sections, plus a QR code for a free copy of a checklist to download. The checklist explains what fathers need to do at each stage when the time comes to head to the hospital for the baby’s birth. The book concludes with an extensive list of references.

If it had been available then I would have loved to have read Stress-Free Pregnancy for Men when we were expecting our two children. Babyvarsity has packed an enormous amount of practical and valuable information into this book. The idea of dividing the book into what happens during each week of pregnancy was brilliant. Even apart from the enormous help that the book offers to expectant fathers, the information about what happens during each week of pregnancy is fascinating. The book contains everything a father needs to know, from pre-pregnancy considerations to possible post-partum depression. The author writes with humor, understanding, and excitement. I highly recommend Stress-Free Pregnancy for Men: The First-time Dad’s Guide to Supporting Your Partner not only for first-time fathers but also for parents who are expecting babies after their first one.
