Helping First-Time Dads Step Up with Confidence
Because when the test turns positive, the world suddenly revolves around her - and you’re left with Google, panic, and zero idea what the hell you’re doing.
Why This Exists: Real Support for First-Time Dads
When your partner gets pregnant, the focus shifts to her (as it should - she's growing a tiny human).
But here’s the problem:
No one tells you what to expect.
No one prepares you for the mental load, the relationship friction, or the identity crisis that sneaks up around week seven.
And definitely no one gives you straight answers that don’t sound like they’re ripped from a parenting podcast hosted by sock puppets.
So you’re left standing there, holding a positive test, wondering:
“What the hell do I do now?”
“Why am I feeling anxious, irritable, or completely numb?”
“Is it normal to feel disconnected from the baby?”
“Why is my relationship falling apart before the baby even gets here?”
That’s exactly why Pregnant Men was created:
To offer real support for first-time dads - the kind that’s practical, relatable, and honest as hell.
What Makes This Different
This isn’t some soft-focus parenting brand or Pinterest-worthy guide to breathing techniques.
This is a raw, occasionally foul-mouthed survival guide built for men who want to show up - for their partner, their kid, and themselves, without losing their identity in the process.
Whether you’re:
-
Googling “how to support a pregnant partner” at 2am
-
Dealing with mood swings (hers or yours)
-
Feeling like you’re not bonding with the baby
-
Or just straight-up overwhelmed...
You're in the right place.
And I’m bloody glad you’re here.
About the Author
Hey, I’m Hayden - husband, dad of two, and accidental author of Pregnant Men.
When I found out I was going to be a dad, I did what a lot of blokes do:
I panicked. Then I Googled. Then I realised… most of the info out there either wasn’t written for us or talked to us like we were toddlers.
I wanted more than vague advice like “be supportive” or “go to appointments.”
I wanted:
-
Straight-up answers
-
Real talk about the emotional rollercoaster
-
And a guide that felt like it was written by someone who actually got it
So I made one.
Pregnant Men is the resource I wish someone handed me the second that test turned positive.
Not because I had it all figured out - but because I didn’t.
And if you don’t want to fumble through the unknown quite as much as I did, this is for you.
Why It Matters
This isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being present. And sometimes, that’s harder than it sounds. But with the right support? You’ll figure it out.
