Before Your Child Arrives

Your child is coming. And nobody tells you what it's really like. The nights nobody mentions. The friends who disappear. The moment in the delivery room when you feel useless - and you're not. The question that keeps you up at night: Can I even do this? This book answers it. Honest, direct, man to man - no sugarcoating, no parenting-guide filler. The author had a father who was a bad example. That is exactly why he wrote this book: so that from day one, you can be the father he never had. Across 13 chapters you'll learn: - What the nine months really bring - and how to prepare your head, body, and bank account - Why your wife is your teammate now - and how the two of you survive the first hundred days without losing each other - What your real job is in the delivery room (spoiler: don't act - hold) - The taboo no book talks about: what it means when the overwhelming love doesn't arrive right away - How to make sure your own father's mistakes end with you - instead of living on in your child At the end: The 13 Sentences - one page that sums up the whole book. Tear it out, photograph it, stick it on the fridge. The perfect gift for dads-to-be - for the pregnancy announcement, the baby shower, or just because someone believes in him. You don't have to be a good father today. You only have to be a man who has decided to become one. This book walks that road with you.
