DadPrepStraight answers for first-time dads. No fluff, no shame.

Week by week, but for you

Every week-by-week pregnancy tracker tells you the baby is the size of a mango. This one tells you what she's dealing with this week, what your actual job is, and what decision is now due. Put the due date in — it stays in your browser.

A word on due dates

A due date is a 40-week estimate from the last period, adjusted by the dating scan. It is not a deadline — most first babies arrive after it, and a birth anywhere from 37 to 42 weeks is within the normal range. Treat the date as the middle of a window, and be very careful about telling extended family the exact day.

Nobody hands you a guide for this part.

Arron — a good friend of mine — wrote the one he wishes someone had given him: Things I Wish I Knew Before You Were Born. 59 pages, twelve stages, from the positive test to the first birthday. Birth-plan checklist, swaddle guide, choking-response steps, babywearing positions — plus the honest chapters most books skip: your head, your relationship, your in-laws, and looking after yourself.
