Welcome to impending fatherhood! Being a dad is better than you can ever imagine and far less scary than you probably believe it to be. One of the main reasons we wrote this book was to empower men to get actively involved in every aspect of the childbirth process, as well as the care, feeding, and nurturing of newborns.

We hope this book will spare you some of that fear and concern by giving you the knowledge you need to feel confident.
