From Lad to Dad

How to survive as a pregnant father

 

Stephen Giles

 

 

 

Fathers are now expected to have a place in the maternity unit, and are even made welcome in the baby-changing rooms - but there is little help available for a man making the huge leap from Lad to Dad.

 

Well, here is help on hand.  If you know of a man swimming in previously unchartered waters buy him a copy of this new book by Stephen Giles.

 

The author chronicles his own journey from preconception to the birth of his child.  He shares his worries, excitement, frustration and ignorance.  He moves from reality to theory - and at times made me laugh out loud.  He admits to being so wrapped up in the idea of pregnancy he had not thought too much about the end product!

 

Lots of helpful advice about paternity leave rights, ante-natal classes, sex during pregnancy, coping with morning sickness - and (most important) about making contact with the midwife. 

 

So the 'pregnant father' is no longer alone - read From Lad to Dad - full of advice which will help the first time dad to go through the pregnancy!
