Built for This: A Guide to Tackling New Dads' Top 16 Concerns About Pregnancy, Childbirth & Becoming a Father
By Zach Tobin
“We're Pregnant!" can either be the
most exciting or the most terrifying words in the English language. For many
men, they end up being both.
Are you a new or
expecting dad whose top priority is being the best father you can be, but
you’re not really certain what that looks like?
Do you wonder what will happen during
delivery and how you can prepare ahead of time?
Are you asking yourself how you’re
going to pay the hospital bills and provide for your growing family?
You may even be concerned that you
don’t really “feel” like a father yet and worry you won’t be able to bond with
or care for your newborn because you’ve never been “good with babies.”
Perhaps you’re dreading the lack of
sex and wondering when you’ll get back to being intimate with your partner.
And, how about the loss of
“freedom”, the chaos of having kids in the house, or the seemingly impossible
task of balancing the demands of work with being there for your family?
These thoughts are valid, and they’re
more common among new dads than you might realize. After all, you’re entering
unknown territory, and fatherhood is a major change that will affect your life
forever.
Even though you’re probably excited
about becoming a dad, you’ll inevitably have doubts and anxieties—all
first-time parents do!
No dad is totally prepared when he
has his first child, but this book, Built for This, will help you overcome
those fears and worries.
Zach is
enthusiastic about fatherhood while helping you understand and tackle your
fears, answering your hardest questions, and equipping you with the clear
thinking, skill, and confidence you need to be an awesome father.
- Unlike so many of the other books written for
new dads, he skips the condescending ‘bro talk’ and draws on his real-world
experience as a father of four to relate man-to-man. Inside, you’ll discover: - The first thing you’re going to struggle with when your newborn
arrives… and how to prepare for it - How to slash your medical
costs by 50% or more… and maybe even make money from your health insurance - What it costs to raise a kid from birth through high school
- How to support your
partner during labor — help her alleviate the pain of giving birth - How to prepare in advance for delivery day… even if you know you
can’t be present - Why caring for a baby takes more than instinct… and how you can
do it well - Ways to stay connected
and intimate with your partner before
and after the baby arrives - The science behind how dads bond with their newborns
- How to balance work and
fatherhood so you can be there for your kid while still providing for your
family - Why babies don’t fix struggling relationships… and tips for what
does (hint: this will make you a better father too)
You may feel like you’re out of your
depth now, but by following Zach’s advice, you’re taking a step in the right
direction.
By the time your
baby arrives, you’ll have the knowledge and skill that you need to embrace the
most important role of your life with joy and confidence. Being a good dad is a
choice… it’s not dictated by your income, IQ, or upbringing.
