About this listen
The fourth edition of this best-selling, groundbreaking, information-packed guide for dads-to-be is now significantly updated, revised, and expanded.
We are expecting! The 20th anniversary edition of this thoroughly updated and revised parenting classic remains the most informative and reassuring book for expectant fathers everywhere. In addition to sharing the wisdom of the ages, Armin A. Brott, Mr. Dad, presents new insights into the emotional, financial, and physical - yes, physical - effects of impending parenthood on men. Thanks to this handy reference, moms-to-be will know their partners understand and support them during this anxious and exciting time, and that they have all the tools they need to be fantastic, hands-on dads.
This information-packed month-by-month guide incorporates the expertise of top practitioners in their fields, from obstetricians and birth-class instructors to psychologists and sociologists. It also draws from Brott's own experience as a father of three and from the real-world experiences of the thousands of dads he's interviewed. With the humor of New Yorker cartoons and Brott's gentle approach, The Expectant Father serves as a friendly and listenable companion for dads-to-be seeking confidence, guidance, and joy!

Meh
I think this was good information if you literally have never seen a baby in your life or have zero knowledge. I would say if your familiar with the science and been around babies the vast majority of this book is useless.

good book to get you started
give a great idea about some of the issues one might find during the pregnancy. it goes month by month which is great to understand what is going on and how you can support your wife during the pregnancy. It has a lot of mentions to military dad's, which I don't think it necessary as there is a book specific for that.

Too American focused
this books is probably great for Americans, it gives a lot of details on the process and how to handle American Healthcare and insurances. However, it's pretty useless if you're anywhere else with free Healthcare.

Great for any dad-to-be
The most helpful book for me leading up to the birth of my daughter. Helped me realize that a lot of the feelings I was having were completely normal, and helped me be a better partner to my wife during pregnancy and labour. Planning to read/listen to the other books in the series.

This a must for all first time expecting fathers
Overall this is a great book for first time expecting fathers/partners. Granted there is some eye rolling anitcs but the book touches on a lot of topics that one might overlook during the pregnancy. The book is filled with interesting stats and facts. I would recommend this book to any first time father/partner.

Overall very informative
As a Canadian reader/listener about 10% of the book was irrelevant (healthcare costs, investing options, etc) but otherwise a very in-depth read. Covers a lot of different perspectives and situations. I would recommend, but if not in the US be prepared to skip some sections.
