Special thanks to Aless Delia-Lobo—doula, childbirth educator, and mom of two—whose expertise and thoughtful guidance during editing helped strengthen this book for new dads and their partners.
Andrew Cole is a proud husband and father who has walked the full journey of parenthood — from those first nervous weeks of pregnancy to raising a son who is now grown. He wrote Expecting Dad to give first-time fathers the practical guidance and encouragement he wished he had when starting out — honest support without fluff or pressure — and the same advice he hopes to one day pass along to his son when he becomes a dad.
With empathy and practical insight, Andrew shares his experiences to help new dads feel prepared, involved, and confident as they navigate pregnancy and beyond.
I bought this book for my brother when he and his partner found out they were expecting their first baby. He was feeling overwhelmed and didn’t know where to start—this book helped a lot. It breaks everything down in a way that feels doable and not intimidating.
He especially appreciated the sections on how to actually support your partner during pregnancy, not just physically but emotionally too. It gave him a real sense of purpose and helped him feel included rather than just on the sidelines.
The tone is calm, clear, and encouraging—like a friend guiding you through the process. He told me it made him feel way more confident about what’s coming and even excited to be hands-on.
Bottom line: It’s a great gift for any first-time dad who wants to show up fully, be prepared, and support his partner like a champ.
