Details Condition: Brand New Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781440505362 Publisher: Adams Media Overview Dude, You're Gonna Be a Dad! is a candid, funny, and genuinely useful paperback guide written specifically for expectant fathers. Rather than clinical medical jargon, John Pfeiffer speaks dad-to-dad, walking readers through the nine months from a positive pregnancy test to the drive to the delivery room.

The humour never undercuts the substance: alongside the jokes about baby gear and unsolicited advice from relatives, there's genuinely solid guidance on communication, decision-making as a couple, and understanding what your partner is going through physically and emotionally.

Humour with substance: Light-hearted tone balanced with genuinely useful advice. Emotional support tips: Guidance on being presen
