Oh Shoot, I’m a Dad! The Brutally Honest Guide to Fatherhood: Because Dads Don’t Just ‘Help’, They Parent Too.

Oh Shoot, I’m a Dad! The Brutally Honest Survival Guide for New Fathers

Just heard the words “we’re pregnant” and feel equal parts thrilled and terrified

You’re not alone. Welcome to fatherhood – the only job where the hours are 24/7, there’s no training, and crying is contagious (for everyone).

You’ve read the baby books written for mums.
You’ve smiled politely through advice from strangers.
But where’s the guide for you, the guy suddenly expected to be emotional rock, snack mule, and Google-certified midwife?

Right here.

Oh Shoot, I’m a Dad! is the no-fluff, laugh-out-loud, brutally honest guide to surviving the early days of fatherhood, from pregnancy to postpartum chaos and everything in between. Written by a dad, for dads, it’s packed with raw truths, cheeky humour, and genuinely useful advice that won’t make your eyes roll.

Inside, you’ll discover:

✅ What to actually say (and never say) to your partner during pregnancy.
✅ How to help without hovering like a lost intern.
✅ Why nappies explode at the worst times, and how to stay dry(ish).
✅ How to cope when everyone checks on the mum… but no one checks on you.
✅ Real talk on hormones, baby gear, sleep, sex (or lack of it), and WTF moments.
✅ Tips for staying sane, staying supportive, and staying awake.

Think of it as your manual for the mayhem, equal parts pep talk, therapy session, and tactical guide.

Whether you’re freaking out, faking calm, or feeling like the only bloke without a clue, you’ve got this.

No clichés. No condescension. Just a solid mate in book form.
