Book Review for We’re Pregnant! The First Time Dad’s Pregnancy Handbook by Adrian Kulp

If you're looking for a book to help your partner feel more involved and prepared during pregnancy, "We’re Pregnant! The First Time Dad’s Pregnancy Handbook" by Adrian Kulp is a must-read. As a pregnant woman myself, I recommended this book to my Xennial husband, and it’s been a total game-changer for us.

Adrian Kulp, a dad of four, knows exactly what first-time dads are going through. His writing is relatable, funny, and far from the typical dry, instructional guide you might expect. He breaks things down in a way that’s easy to understand, without overwhelming you with medical jargon or making you feel like you need a degree in obstetrics.

One of the things I love most about this book is how it’s completely focused on dads and what they can do to support their partners—and keep their own sanity—throughout the pregnancy. The book is organized by month, so your partner can follow along with what’s happening with both you and the baby at every stage. It’s packed with practical advice, from how to handle those inevitable late-night cravings to how to help when you’re feeling overwhelmed.

The best part? Kulp emphasizes teamwork. He offers tips that make sure dads don’t just feel like spectators but are actively involved in the pregnancy process. It’s like having a buddy who’s been through it all, giving your partner the inside scoop on what to expect and how to be the best support possible.

If you’re looking for a way to help your partner feel more connected and prepared, this book is perfect. It’s an easy, enjoyable read that offers plenty of laughs, too—especially when you’re doing your best “whale impression” in bed (trust me, it happens). This book is definitely worth adding to your nightstand for those “what do I do now?” moments. Plus, it might just make your partner smile when they need it most.
