I became a father [SRS]

[Godfrd824]

This thread gets me excited for what's to come.

[LogicalLifts]

not a dad, but I have sponsored a few kids for school/living expenses which was cool, congrats on becoming a father

Thanks, and congratulations to you as well. May I ask what made you do that?

Years ago I wanted to enroll as a 'Big Brother', but I tend to move around fairly frequently and wouldn't want to let someone down like that.

[HockeyJon]

I can see that this is an old thread, but in any case, congrats OP from one father (of two) to another! Enjoy every minute of it, because being a father is the absolute best thing in the world!

Are you guys expecting? If so - congratulations!

Did you check if it is a boy or a girl? We didn't.

3 weeks in now and I’m not experiencing any of the hell, this has honestly been a lot easier so far than I imagined

Also we use the Hello Bello diapers and apparently they kick the crap out of Huggies etc

[latverian41]

And from the first time I heard my little one cry out I knew it was the right choice.

So many adventures with my wife around the world, culminating in this moment.

It is such a high, one I guess every parent here understands.

High-five if you know those feels. Dead srs.

Congrats bro.. you just found the meaning of life

Reps. Don't fail him.

I kept this thread going for other parents to share experiences - especially fathers, as we don't always have an outlet to be honest about what we're going through. We're talking about our second already, but the first still gulps down entire breasts full of milk so we'll wait a bit longer

Congratulations man - wasn't aware you were expecting.

The experience is different for everyone. The lack of sleep negatively affected me a lot at the start, but other brehs I knew (especially ones who didn't sleep much anyway) didn't seem too bothered by it.

Some parents start formula from birth - babies sleep longer with that, but we have only done breast feeding. No pump/bottles, nothing - just directly from her mom's breast. Not everyone goes the same path here, but we're very happy we chose ours.

My wife is at 5 months. We did check, it's a boy. Not that it matters, any child that's healthy and happy is a blessing. It's funny because every woman I have spoken with prefers boys, even my wife.

That's what I've been saying, It can't be that hard if everyone and their mother has done it. We still have time, but I'll look into that diaper brand.

Congrats to you as well man

We’re doing almost entirely breastfeeding but my woman is pumping and freezing where she can (haven’t used any yet, just building up a supply) and have done formula every now and then where necessary because hurting nipples etc

[infinityplus1]

Have you had the DNA test yet OP?

Confirmed father or not?

I don't know if it was discussed in this thread, or a different one, but you can get a cloth diaper service. They collect them, wash them and then deliver them back to you; just like dry cleaning.

Sounds great! I can recommend a book called 'The Fourth Trimester' if you're interested. We had an awesome (Irish) midwife too.

Yeah I get that. My wife had been considering pumping around then but then our little one really started chugging. She's in the 96th percentile for growth - it's weird when other parents think she's so much older than she is given her height.

Congratz OP

[LogicalLifts]

Have you asked for a dna test yet?

You're as pathetic as they come, and clearly you've been repeatedly cucked which is why this is the most prevalent question in your (pea) brain. Stay mad - a number of posters seethe whenever they see others prosper.

LOL

Phuukkkkkkkk that. RIP. Srs, vry srs.

Mirin dude, I’m not looking forward to the newborn stage. Things got so much easier once little man could actually do stuff so I knew how to play with him. I was never really around babies and all either though so maybe that had something to do with it.


We’ve got our midwife appointment today. God willing little miss actually grew (she stalled our last appointment two weeks ago,) if not things may get pretty sketchy.

Pulling for all of my fellow dads!

How many weeks? This is pretty normal, the measurements are extremely inaccurate, and often all the way to birth. They will tell you your baby is 5 pounds and it comes out 6 pounds literally several hours later, so don’t panic, but it’s very important for your wife to eat red meat unless she absolutely hates it, drink lots of water, and you can give her creatine, it makes the babies grow, they come out smarter, the pregnancy is easier, the research is overwhelming on this, personally if I had a fear that the child is not getting big enough during pregnancy. I would absolutely give my wife creatine.


Obviously try to carry to full term, don’t let your wife use Primrose evening, oil, or any of that other stuff that makes babies come out earlier, but if it comes out a little bit on the small side, that may actually be a good thing, it will protect your wife’s pussy and sanity. Immediately begin aggressive breast-feeding, and the baby will fatten up real quick, so no worries, been there/done that/got the T-shirt.

Appreciate it bud! 34 weeks, 35 will be Friday. Shes been measuring a week behind from the jump so they weren’t really worried until the stall. My wife has always been tiny and started out underweight as far as bmi goes. She’s been focusing on more small meals since her stomach is getting smushed lol.
And our plan is to go the same route as with our son which was 100% natural. Only “interference” with him was a membrane sweep at I wanna say 41 weeks and then he was born the next day.

Welcome to the club breh.

Congratz OP

Thanks breh.

Phuukkkkkkkk that. RIP. Srs, vry srs.

Kids are one of those things that fall under 'if you know, you know'. And I knew as soon as I heard my baby cry out the first time.

Or even now when she crawls on my chest and thumps it with her hands and giggles 'BA BA'.

It's as simple as that, srs, very srs.

[Krackerjacked]

Not my thread but since I mentioned it here most recently:
Midwife appointment today went well and our daughter grew so she’s two weeks behind but that’s fairly consistent from the way she’d been growing.
God is good y’all! Have a great week srs

About these midwives. What do they do, why are they wanted or needed?

Sounds like you’ll be fine! From what you said. Like that your wife is tiny. Don’t worry. Babies grow in spurs. Next scan she’ll get bigger. Tell them no Doppler please. Less ultrasounds is better. No color images or any of that. And no fluid check. They puncture the sack and take a sample. Bad idea! Can trigger early labor. Basically doing less is good.

Yessir you called it, she grew again. And agreed man, our son was born naturally at a birth center. That’s the plan with our daughter too, she did get an extra ultrasound on once the limb difference was spotted just to ensure there weren’t any other issues. Luckily everything else looked good.
