Well my wife’s water broke 2 days before our planned c section. She is getting prepped as I write this for a C section today. I am full of nervousness and excitement. Wish us luck. See you all on the other side!
My wife is 18 weeks today with our first and nothing yet, not even slight fluttering. She does have an anterior placenta we've been told.
I know a lot don't feel anything until maybe 20 weeks plus but I do feel worried! Our next scan isn't got at least 2 or 3 more weeks, just hard waiting 8...
We are both mid 30s. We’ve been trying for years. We did three cycles of IVF and got 9 embryos. She became pregnant after the first transfer.
I am trying my best to stay level headed and I am reminding myself it’s too early to get attached, but it’s really hard when I am reminded what size...

Wish us luck and see y’all on r/daddit
Hi all,
Wife is going through miscarriage, we would be 11 weeks today but turns out pregnancy stopped developing at 5-6 weeks. Had scans last week and this and absolutely nothing has happened (she’s had some cramps and bleeding but less than a period).
Having done the research on management...
Knowing my life is about to change forever in about 5 weeks or so, I’m trying to figure out what are some things I can focus on to enjoy and make the best of these remaining weeks of young adult “freedom” per say with my wife. It’s our first child and we have always enjoyed the freedom we have...
My wife and I had been casually trying for a couple of years, hoping for a "surprise", but it never came. So we decided to get serious, and downloaded a bunch of apps, so we could track the optimal window of opportunity. We tried for 2 years, but nothing happened.
In 2017, we decided to find...
Once again this community helps each other, two important notes
Pregnant ladies if you are lurking, it’s best not to do sit ups / crunches, certainly not beyond the first trimester.
There are more efficient workouts to strengthen your core than sit ups, the NHS website in the U.K. has a great...
Wifey and I have our first trip/vacation since having our daughter in a few weeks. It’s equal parts exciting and super nerv racking. I’m worried I’m going to spend most of the trip worrying about our girl, whom is staying with the M.I.L. while we’re gone. What did you all do to coup with being...
So, my wife and I are expecting twins in November, and we're looking at different stroller/car seat options. The Baby Trend Sit N Stand Tandem Stroller seems to fit our needs, but was wondering if anyone had any experience with it and if they found it to be a good purchase?
Here's a link to it...
He is almost two weeks old, but I have been so busy enjoying him, I never got a chance to introduce him. Its been almost surreal. He is actually asleep on my chest as I am typing this. Jack Seamus, born 10/3/15 at 9:36 am VIA c-section. 8lbs 7oz and 20-3/4". See you fellas on the other side.
Hey there,
My wife is 34 weeks pregnant with Di/Di boys last Thursday we were sent to L&D triage to address high blood pressure (140s/90s). After labs we found that her urine marker for preeclampsia was just over the 0.30 reference range at 0.34. Today we went in for a growth scan and twin A...
I have seen a lot of miscarriage posts and want to act as a reassuring voice for those who have lost loved ones. My wife suffered a miscarriage and an ectopic and now we are at around 10 weeks gestation. I want to set the record straight on miscarriage risk. I feel that it should be normalized...
I can keep a pretty strong poker face so I'm trying to come up with ways I can troll my wife about the gender since she's decided not to know it yet. So I've got about 4 months to F with her. Suggestions welcome.
My wife is 37 weeks and her water broke this morning! I went to work as we weren't 100% sure it'd happen today, but she had the midwives confirm she definitely had her water break so they're saying we've gotta be induced today.
Headed home to pack (thought we had more time, DON'T MAKE MY...
My wife got pregnant last March, we were over the moon excited. Had our ultrasound, heard the heartbeat emotions were high. Unfortunately we had a miscarriage at 10 weeks. It was very difficult and we were devastated. After months of trying to conceive again we finally did it. We are at 7 weeks...
Me and my wife are going to use a (Graco) Pack n Play for the first 6 months of our daughters life and then move on to a crib. Anyone here do the same thing or have gone through the same process and ended up cribbing the whole way through?
