‘It’s a very funny book, it’s a very moving book’ – BBC

'Essential reading for any new parent’ – MANtenatal

Two lines on a pregnancy-test stick – your life is changed forever. There is no going back to the person you were before: you are about to become a daddy.

But first, you have to survive pregnancy. And if you think pregnancy is a journey only women take, then think again. Whether you like it or not, you’re along for the ride as well – and what a ride it is!

So what is pregnancy like for dads?

Surely it’s about much more than installing car seats and buying flat-pack baby furniture, right? Isn’t it about preparing for the biggest identity shift that you will ever undergo?

And why do we have children in the first place? What’s it like to live with a pregnant woman? And what expectations does today’s society place on a father?

Join one expectant father as he asks those questions and many more in Dear Dory: Journal of a Soon-to-be First-time Dad: the thought-provoking, entertaining, laugh-out-loud story of one man and his journal as he documents his experiences and prepares to establish his place in the world as a father.

WARNING: This book contains a truckload of profanity.
