Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it comes to the unknown territory of having a baby, moms-to-be have nearly unending resources to plan and execute a healthy pregnancy and navigate those first months and years as a parent with confidence. New dads? Not so much. They want to get in the game too, but, says Super Bowl champion Benjamin Watson, "I could find clearer direction for putting together a baby swing than for taking care of a newborn child." The New Dad's Playbook is every man's game plan to being the best partner and the best father, from pre-season (preparing for fatherhood) to Super Bowl (birth) to post-season (after baby is home). It helps men understand what their wives are going through physically and emotionally during and after pregnancy, allowing them to support their most important teammate. It tells men what to expect when their baby is home--and what to do when the unexpected happens. This tell-it-like-it-is book will take men from just winging it to winning it.

Book Synopsis Daddy Doula-Ish by : W. Bryan Caldwell
Download or read book Daddy Doula-Ish written by W. Bryan Caldwell and published by . This book was released on 2019-11-26 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a young man, there is nothing like the first moments after finding out he is going to be father. For me it was a combination of excitement and fear all rolled up into a big smile, tear filled eyes, and a nervous sweat. Daddy Doula-ish was inspired by my experiences as a partner to my wife during the pregnancy and childbirth of our three daughters. DADDY DOULA - A 21st Century Father's Approach to Pregnancy and Child Birth was created to challenge expecting fathers to become connected so they have a more profound experience during the pregnancy and childbirth. Daddy Doula's goal is not for the expecting father to be a professional birth coach, but to be a partner who is present and active during the pregnancy and childbirth. The book provides all the relevant medical terms and concepts to make the father familiar with the labor and delivery process. It also provides activities like DIY projects, choosing a doctor and hospital, health and fitness activities, and creating a birth plan to provide mechanisms to ensure an emotional connection with his partner. To help the expecting father contribute during labor and delivery, the book provides techniques like massage, meditation, and coaching phrases to help the mother cope with the grueling pain and emotional vulnerability of childbirth. To tie the concepts of the book together, the last few chapters are provided to demonstrate to the readers that an everyday guy can take on the role of a partner in the delivery room. I use these chapters to pull back the curtain and let the reader look into the labor and delivery room where each of my daughters was born. I provide an intimate and detailed account of the birth process, coping techniques used, personal frustrations experienced, and the labor decisions made for each birth. I believe with the information and the stories provided in Daddy Doula-ish, any father can become the positive force that can encourage his partner through a vaginal unmedicated child birth. By the end of the book, men will have a way to be a part of a life-experience most of them would have taken for granted. Mostly they will be inspired to be an active father. They will want to be a Daddy Doula. If you want to ask me questions directly go to www.daddydoulaish.com

Book Synopsis Here's the Plan. by : Allyson Downey
Download or read book Here's the Plan. written by Allyson Downey and published by Seal Press. This book was released on 2016-04-05 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many women in their 20's and 30's, the greatest professional hurdle they'll need to overcome has little to do with their work life. The most focused, confident, and ambitious women can find themselves derailed by a tiny little thing: a new baby. While more workplaces are espousing family-friendly cultures, women are still subject to a "parenting penalty" and high-profile conflicts between parenting and the workplace are all over the news: from the controversy over companies covering the costs of egg-freezing to the debate over parental leave and childcare inspired by Marissa Mayer's policies at Yahoo. Here's the Plan offers an inventive and inspiring roadmap for working mothers steering their careers through the parenting years. Author Allyson Downey, founder of weeSpring, the "Yelp for baby products,” and mother of two young children advises readers on all practical aspects of ladder-climbing while parenting, such as negotiating leave, flex time, and promotions. In the style of #GIRLBOSS or Nice Girls Don't Get the Corner Office, Here's the Plan is the definitive guide for ambitious mothers, written by one working mother to another.
