Cheers to Childbirth is chock-full of practical knowledge so that you know how to support your partner through childbirth and in the months thereafter. It also includes candid, hilarious and sometimes heartbreaking birth stories told by some of Australia’s best-known dads: Bondi lifeguard Andy Reid, champion boxer Danny Green, TV guy Osher Günsberg, Olympian Steven Bradbury, broadcaster Jeremy Fernandez and actors Shane Jacobson, Charlie Clausen and Steve Bastoni. There are two same-sex couples in the birth story mix and all represent diverse cultural and professional backgrounds. It just goes to show that no matter how famous you are, this childbirth caper is a learning curve for all of us.

“This book tells you exactly what you need to know to make childbirth faster and easier for your partner. It’s also a very entertaining read – everyone should snort-laugh in preparation for the birth of their baby.” Edwina Sharrock, midwife and founder of Birth Beat

From Lads to Dads

This collection of birth stories takes you on the childbirth rollercoaster from the dad’s perspective. Men need to hear stories from their bros as they prepare to welcome their own baby. There is much to learn from the dad’s perspective. This collection shows that no matter how famous or talented you are, childbirth is a great equaliser.

Twelve unique stories of adventure, surprise and a little bit of heartbreak as men cop a baptism of fire as they walk through the gates of fatherhood, never to be the same again…

High-profile dads share their stories: broadcaster Adam Spencer, neurosurgeon Dr Charlie Teo, vision-impaired adventurer Gerard Gosens, Olympian James Tomkins, world champion surfer Mark Occhilupo and ex opera singer and professional rugby player Jud Arthur spill the beans on what childbirth was like for them. And some not-so-high-profile men share their experiences of birth: a cattle farmer, a lawyer, doctor…

Fatherhood is a call to every man to step-up to one of the most enriching challenges of all. These birth stories are a first step on the journey of a lifetime.
