Pregnancy Thread

For me, the baby goes to sleep pretty early, like any baby does, so I just had to learn how to stay up late, and fight through the exhaustion.

8pm-12am is my nerd time to shine!! get with it bros!

For me that was (and still is) time to cleant he house, do homework, bathe, watch movies that aren't My Little Pony, or whatever. Never had much gaming time until recently.

Unfortunately during my undergrad my homework time was 5pm-5am

Yeah I couldn't take that shit. I can barely take it as is.

5 or 6 weeks in, just found out this monday. sometime in the morning my wife had light bleeding. stopping by the doc for checking in 30 minutes.

shit guys, sadfaced irl :-(

I know it can occur and it's not terribly rare, to have light bleeding at this mark, but still I'm scared now.

Well... no.

Better luck next time I guess. Better now than 20 weeks in, too.

Makes you really appreciate the healthy kid you already have.

Damn, sorry bro. We've been there, I know the feels =/

Sorry to hear that.

Sorry Ronaan. That's really tough. Are you guys going to start trying again when you can?

Yeah we definitely want a second kid. Point is, the wife is going to be 39 next year. Our odds are not improving. The doc said it would be smart to wait a cycle or two, now she's already in panic mode. Had expected her to take the loss much worse than she initially did, but now she's stressing out about time running out...

Me, I'm looking at it quite relaxed now. I was really upset at first. Time will tell.

Really happy that everything worked out so well with our first though, she's a real little beast at times, but that's just how things are.

Thanks for the support.

May I just say that being pregnant during the summer has got to be one of the worst things ever. And monsoon season just hit, so the humidity has shot through the roof.

I have them feels for my wife, dealing with the heat and 7 months pregnant.

Found this on Reddit and thought it was interesting. Every pregnant woman in Finland gets a "maternity box" free from the government

Ugh yeah, I was nine months pregnant in July with my first. We lived in California then. It was fucking miserable. I told myself I'd never do that again.

My second was also born in July, though we'd moved up to Washington by then.

I don't envy your wife for having to make it through the entire summer Crone.

My daughter was born July 28th 2012, sat in the hospital at 30?C outside temp and the a/c didn't work because some doofus always opened a window.

Thankfully the wife had to climb some stairs to get things going (ended up with a c-section anyway after 15 hours of nothing advancing), and the temperature there was alright.

As a guy we really have it easy... stick it in, wait 40 weeks, presto.
(well we get to endure some cataclysmic mood swings during those 40 weeks but that's pretty minor, isn't it?)
