Want to know the secret to acing fatherhood? It's simple: Start being a dad from the moment the pregnancy test shows positive. Read on to find out how...

The fear of fatherhood isn't a conversation many men like to have over a cold beer.

But the truth is that nearly every father-to-be has concerns... So if you're feeling a little anxious right now, rest assured that you're not the only one.

Amongst the top fears are how to take care of Mommy-to-be during pregnancy, how to navigate childbirth, and how to care for the baby's well-being in the first few weeks after the birth.

And if any of those things are worrying you too, you're in the right place.

Dads have traditionally been sidelined when it comes to talking about pregnancy and parenthood, but there's good news for you - your baby is coming at the perfect time.

An increasing number of celebrity dads are raising awareness about the role of the father at every stage of the parenting journey - from pregnancy onwards.

Think of Chance the Rapper, who pushed back his tour after the birth of his second child... or Mark Zuckerberg, who not only took paternity leave for his own family, but made sure it was a firm policy at Facebook to offer it to all new dads.

The conversation is changing, and you're right where you need to be to benefit.

The days of Mommy-only pregnancy guides are waning... It's time to think of Dad too.

And to make sure you're fully prepared and knock your fears to the curb, you need to know what to expect from the pregnancy as well as the months following your child's birth.

This guide covers everything you need to know in order to be the best dad you can possibly be - before your little one even arrives.

Inside, you'll discover:

• The changes you'll see in your partner's body during each month of her pregnancy (know what to expect so you can nip any problems in the bud)
• Key developments in your baby's growth at every stage
• 'Emotional planning' - what it is... and why you need it
• What you can expect from those all-important prenatal tests
• How you can take care of your partner throughout her pregnancy (know what she needs before she does for serious brownie points!)

And much more.

It's perfectly natural to feel a bit anxious at this point... The secret is to be prepared.
