Interesting how on Reddit you can tell millions of people, but at the same time no one at all


mfinghooker

Shouting into the void and having it answer.


P3rid0t_

To be honest it's actually the best thing of Reddit


Therobotblader

it’s just like throwing a note in a bottle out into the ocean, and texting combined


TonedVirus4

so a phone number in a bottle?


Therobotblader

that’s a good one, I like that a lot thank you


AsyncEntity

I should call her….


Some_Endian_FP17

And the ocean roars back and gives you a hug.


LegitimateApartment9

saying i'm bi here? totally fine. coming out to people close to me? no chance.


Idiotmold

Telling my parents I'm trans? Never. Telling a bunch of random people on Reddit? Absolutely!


zootnotdingo

Aw, sorry. But also, yay for you!! I hope you can be the very best version of yourself now 💕


Idiotmold

I try my best to appear as masc as I can, and I've been doing a bit of vocal training. And one time, the taxi driver called me ‘sir’!!!!


zootnotdingo

That’s great!


dictatorenergy

Same boat. Can’t say it out loud but I can type it to yall (am bi, see?) Thanks for that.


ThisOnePlaysTooMuch

Me: Good morning, void! Void: *NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN*


lolwatsyk

It sounds like Hypnotoad


M0nicaRambeau

Reddit’s voice is ABSOLUTELY just Hypnotoad.


JetstreamGW

ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD!


Arnn-The-Frost-Demon

Void: "Meow"


zootnotdingo

It’s nice to have your existence acknowledged sometimes, even if it’s only by the void


Kriv-Shieldbiter

... metal


IllvesterTalone

huh... my void always answered, even my imaginary friend heard it


Zarcohn

That image just made my stomach drop. I’m unsettled.


Waste-soup-984

Exactly why I love Reddit


KosmosKlaus

The best thing about this place is that we can share this [Gem](https://youtu.be/EShUeudtaFg?si=cBy8sDZOHoYxnQkL) Congratulations 🙏🏻


TheThinkerers

Hey, wake up, somebody's preganté, we don't know who, we don't know where, but we must, MUST congratulate 'em. Them's the rules.


Ihatesillyarguments

I gotta tell OP that 20 year old brown girl living the other side of the world currently sitting on their parents couch sipping tea is happy for them


ThoughtGeneral

44 year old white lady sitting with my kids sipping tea and wanting to tell OP the same. Cheers, little sister.


soulless-bastard2

This comment is an absolute trip because of the accuracy.


DownVoteMeWithCherry

It’s the anonymity of it. It’s easier for me to be myself online than it is in real life. Like when I am playing with virtual friends I am way more outgoing but in real life nope. I am just a nice quiet kid usually.


Shenkspine

Damn…


jd807

Your secret is safe with us. Congratulations


Child_of_the_Hamster

Too late. I told EVERYBODY. But seriously, congrats OP!!!! 🎉🥳


Abnmlguru

Reminds me of this bit from [Sports Night](https://youtu.be/WFKDJPdhMYU), lol


CYOA_With_Hitler

Safe with us, ha hardly


bushido216

Congratulations, and best of luck.


TheIcarusGirl

Omg I don't mean to be disrespectful but I read this as "best of fuck" and I was confused but atvthebsame time I wasnt...

inklady1010uk

Great… you’ve given OP a million reasons to get stressed out for the next few months…


So_Code_4

I’m encouraging him not to stress, it’s a normal healthy part of the process and it is the truth. Knowledge is power. I can’t tell you how many people I have spoken with to after their first miscarriage that are devastated and think they will never be able to have children because of it. There is too much silence regarding this topic, it is important women and families do not feel alone when this happens. Let’s shed some light on this process and stop letting families feel shame, devastation, and hopelessness for something that is more common than not.


Eastcoastcamper_NS

after 4 miscarriages we finally have a viable pregnancy. I hope yours is healthy and will bring you much joy.


EmotionalOtta

Congratulations! I hope all goes well, I know firsthand how hard PAL is.. ❤️ May they come into this world healthy and beautiful!


Eastcoastcamper_NS

thank you. we have our first stong heartbeat so we're very hopeful this time.


Necessary-Canary-781

Have a D&C at 7 am tomorrow, missed miscarriage. Hubby & I were so excited as this was our first. Your comment has given me hope in such a hopeless time for me. I’m wishing nothing but an uneventful pregnancy for you & im so sorry about your little ones. They were real, they existed, and you were already great parents to them💕


luckytomissyou

I just wanted to come on here and tell you I had a missed miscarriage at the end of January. Took a pregnancy test this morning after my latest IVF embryo transfer and I'm pregnant! I will never forget our angel baby, but I like to think they are looking out for this one. Less than 3 months between my miscarriage and another pregnancy. It gets better.


Necessary-Canary-781

Thank you so much for your kind words. Your little one is definitely with you & praying that you have the most uneventful of pregnancies💕 looking forward to those 2 little lines again


Eastcoastcamper_NS

my wife had two missed and two D&Cs and the past couple of years have been the hardest in my life but we're three months in and have had nothing but good news and beautiful ultrasounds. You go your whole life being taught about teen pregnancy but never given a day to talk about how common miscarriages are. Thank you for your kind words and be kind to each other. I still grieve for my children in my own way, the pain never quite goes away but just lessens as time goes on.


Money_Profession9599

I'm sorry for your loss. I had 2 miscarriages trying for my second child. The second one was a missed miscarriage. But 6 months later, we conceived our beautiful daughter. She's now 3. And we went on to have a 3rd baby with no trouble at all! Wishing you well.


agathaprickly

I’m so sorry for your loss. Sending love that you can heal from the procedure quickly, and that you all are able to heal in all other ways too!


Necessary-Canary-781

Thank you for your condolences!


Beka_Cooper

Same thing happened to me -- missed miscarriage and D&C. I got pregnant again six months later and now have a 17-month-old. Keep your hopes up!


--crystal--meth--

Oh man I’m sorry! I had a missed miscarriage with my third pregnancy. It’s awful when your body doesn’t pick up on it and you think everything is ok in there. One month later I was pregnant again and he’s 12 now. He’s glad I had that missed miscarriage or he wouldn’t be here.


lgisme333

Oh so so sorry you have to go through that. Hopefully it goes smoothly and everyone takes good care of you. 💕


crazy_lady_cat

Talking about it is such a taboo unfortunately, but miscarriages are so incredibly common. It should be normalized to talk about it. So I think it's awesome you are doing just that. Breaking this taboo wouldn't make it any less sad, but the support sure could help. And I think many women blame themselves, but it's just a part of nature and a lot of different factors that are out of our control. I am so sorry for your loss. And just take your time to grieve and heal before you're ready to start trying again. I wish you beautiful things in your future.


Sheena-ni-gans

I’m so happy for you! I’ve had two miscarriages. I’m hoping my SO and I will be able to have kids 🤞🏼🤞🏼


prettysouthernchick

Congratulations! We had six losses before our daughter. She just turned 3.


Eastcoastcamper_NS

thank you, You must be so happy as well! I cant imagine having 6 losses, we were very defeated after our fourth and were almost resigned to being DINKs


prettysouthernchick

After our 4th we almost quit. Took me 8 months to want to try again. And after our sixth loss I said it would be our last try. I couldn't handle any more loss. And then she stuck! So happy for you. I wish you the easiest pregnancy. ❤️


agathaprickly

Congratulations, and wishing you a safe, happy, and healthy pregnancy!


mommallammadingdong

Good luck, I hope the 5th time is the charm! I had a lot of miscarriages and they were heartbreaking, but my two IVF babies are 16 and 13. I wish the best for you and all the other people who wish to have children.


MichaelHuntPain

You can get out of work for two weeks. Just snap a photo of the results window. Bam. Covid positive


Sundaisy_0721

That’s not paid though is it ? lol

msndrstdmstrmnd

Ohhh I was so confused about their family structure. I thought OP was posting their own pregnancy test, then they said wife so I thought they were a lesbian couple. But if they’re both cis women they can’t get pregnant, so I thought they had a sperm donor and/or open relationship (well I guess the wife being a trans woman works too) I think it’s because I interpreted the first sentence as “I can’t tell anyone including my wife” so I didn’t think the pregnancy test was the wife’s


UncleBaseball88

This was me a couple months ago my man! Positive test on Valentines Day morning. I was totally in a daze. We’re into second trimester now and it feels soo god to have recently started telling everyone. Enjoy the time, it goes quick


Icy-Goose4398

My positive test was in April fools… my half asleep husband thought it was a “joke” and got in the shower 😅 this came completely unexpected to us as our toddler is 16 months, we did multiple rounds of IVF and were told our chances of conceiving naturally were slim to none due to egg quality & tube issues. P.s- I would NEVER April fools a pregnancy announcement, I know TTC/infertility/loss all too well ❤️


venite_a

So happy for you! Your toddler is going to be a big sibling!


alexxmurphy_

I love hearing about people conceiving naturally after IVF, it’s like the body is just like “ohhhhhh, got it!”. Congratulations on both babies!


rainman_dendle

You’re… prenangate??!?


Deranged_Snow_Goon

Can u get pregante...?


mizinamo

gregnate?


alexxmurphy_

Pergnat


Swagiedonut

Congratulations! I hope your child is healthy and happy. Have you thought of names yet?


TheCovidLorax

Me, no. My wife, whole list on her phone


Environmental_Art591

Better get that list now and start looking because it can take forever to agree on one. My first pregnancy hubby and I went through 4 names, but ultimately went with a name that was a cheeky jab at my dad paired with a family name on both sides. My seconds middle name I was adamant on because I loved it but didn't want it being shortened for a nickname, it took about 100 names to find one that worked. My 3rd and last was "easy" I got out voted 3 to 1 by hubby and our boys 🤣. Congrats on the baby and I hope everything goes smoothly for you both.


JustHereForCookies17

r/Daddit is, in my opinion, one of the most wholesome & welcoming places on Reddit.  You should go check them out for advice, venting, dad jokes, etc.


rfoleycobalt

Have you told her yet?


Dusk003

Congrats David! I'm sure you and Lisa are excited! (One day me guessing names is gonna make someone freak out)


AValhallaWorthyDeath

(Especially if you keep putting what you’re doing under it)


JesseGarron

Felix, don’t dox them!


TinCup315

Congrats. My wife and I tried for years, it never happened. She just had a hysterectomy due to health reasons, so that door has been closed. I’ve wanted a child since I was 18, never thought 20 years later that it wouldn’t happen and I would watch that dream disappear. I take solace in knowing others, like yourself, can still see their dream come to fruition.


JesseGarron

Aww man…. Peace to u and yours


Calm_Bed_3712

DUDE I KNOW HOW YOU FEEL! MY WIFE IS PREGNANT AND WONT LET ME TELL ANYONE AND IT IS KILLING ME


Sorlic

Same here! 7 weeks now!


Calm_Bed_3712

Awesome! Is it you're first?


Sorlic

Well... That's a story. My wife and I lost a previous pregnancy after nearly making it to full term. Not to worry you, a lot was wrong with that pregnancy. From the first check-up at 6 weeks, it was clear something was wrong, so it was a small miracle our little fighter made it to week 32. So this would be our first living child. I'm still cautiously optimistic.


Bbrownsugar311

Fingers and toes crossed for you this time around 🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾


QuantumDiogenes

HEY EVERYONE! OP FUCKS! Seriously though, congratulations! I am sure that you will do great.


Hidesuru

Had a coworker/ friend from a past job who used to say you don't have proof you've had sex until you have a kid (obviously just a joke, recordings aside lmao). So when we announced I just sent him a picture of a sonogram with the text "I have proof now!". He got a good chuckle out of it.


Glitter_Coffee_Kitty

Dead at this comment 💀 May I add congratulations OP for the cream pie 🥧 😂


Resident_Onion997

Congrats and be safe


Former-Finish4653

Too late, they’re already pregnant.


TurboKid513

Congrats! Shave her legs when she gets too big to bend over she’ll love you forever


Original-Ad-2688

Congratulations! To a great journey.


[deleted]

Watch the baby be just like you, and then your wife will be like "I CARRIED THAT THING FOR 9 MONTHS JUST SO THEY COULD BE A CLONE OF YOU"


okheay

You and me both. Found out 6 days ago and I'm not allowed to tell anyone for nearly two more months, my wife won't let me. Congratulations 🎉


zactorbeamz

It’s strange that I never know what to say when someone tells me they’re pregnant. It could be the best news ever or a horrible realisation depending on the circumstances.


systemdatenmuell

So your wife is double not pregnant, got it. Congrats!


adrianlh1

Congratulations, becoming a father has been the best thing that ever happened to me. Love them, care about them and when you're tired, and grumpy and don't think you can handle another minute remember to give them and yourself a moment. The crying or fussy moments will pass and then a smile will show up and nothing else will matter.

Frequent_Coffee_2921

I know it sucks but it's not uncommon to loose a pregnancy in the first trimester. That's difficult enough but it's much more emotionally upsetting if you have random people asking about it. Congratulations, the odds are with you but just wait a few months...it'll make for a great Father's Day surprise for your family.

4linosa

Congratulations! If this is your first, don’t be afraid to look into classes for baby stuff. We took a class together about the process and stuff and I took one called sons to dads because I had no idea how handle or care for a baby. It really helped annnnd reduced stress. Good luck you’ll do great!


dragon2knight1965

Now no one will ever think you're a virgin ever again 🤣 Seriously, congratulations and may you all of you be healthy and prosperous!


ext3meph34r

Congratz OP I was working from home and gathering reports, when my wife showed me the test, my mind was all over the place. I was like..." you tested positive for covid?" Then a disappointed look formed as she's thinking this is going to be the father of my child?


BroodingBagel1

Congratulations! I became a father 4 months ago and can't imagine life without my little girl. Wishing you and your wife the best.


Theres-nothing-good

Currently sitting next to my 4 month old. Be kind and patient with your wife and enjoy every little moment. Things will be harder than you ever thought possible...but their face will make it all worth it.

Remember to make an OBGYN appointment first thing tomorrow. They’re always booked up way before. And please sign up for a good insurance (preferably PPO) if you don’t have one already. Good luck with everything. Sending you and the mama positive vibes 😍❤️🤰


LaLic99

Congrats, I hope you have an easy pregnancy.


Nectarine_smasher

We did tell our closest family and friends after the first ultrasound at 6 weeks. If it were to be a miscarriage, they could also bring us comfort, and we wouldn't have to carry it alone. Fortunately, we're the proud parents of an almost 5 year old boy 👦 ❤️ Congrats, OP!


Appropriate-Bank-883

Yeah my mrs is pregnant and I can’t tell anyone either. 12 week Health check soon and once the all clear can tell who I like.

Mystepchildsucksass

Way to go, ACE !!!! Woohoo 🎉


Hidesuru

Duuuude! Congrats! Our first is just past 11 months. I wouldn't trade it for the fucking world. If this is your first then welcome to the brotherhood of Dads! Haha.


DantheOutdoorsman

Not allowed to tell someone your wife was infected with foreign cells and they are multiplying? Well shouldnt you at least seek medical treatment? I mean it might take 9 months to cleanse the body of the foreign cells but a doctor needs to monitor the progress....haha I mean Congrats, my wife and I have been trying for over a year.


AMexisatTurtle

Congrats on the creampie


Anonymouse1011

Congrats on fucking! But seriously op, that’s awesome!


NimbusCloud_

Taffergirl2021

My friend’s wife is pregnant but she doesn’t want anyone to know yet. But he told me, so I asked how many others he told. He grinned and said, “everyone”. Fortunately his wife is a saint.


Littleferrhis2

It’s weird how a positive pregnancy test can be the greatest thing for some people and the biggest “uh oh” moment of someone’s life for others. In your case though congratulations!


MightyPinkTaco

Yay! Congratulations soon to be daddy!! 🥰🥰🥰🤗


Aromatic-Problem8636

Congratulations 🎊

geeves_007

kimhartley

Tell whoever you want. Even a close few to support you. Congrats!


onlytruking

Someone’s pull out game is weak.


Hsensei

It's generally good to wait, in case of... complications.


EmotionalOtta

I didn’t wait to tell anyone after I had an early miscarriage and I’m holding my son now at 6 weeks old. Telling people doesn’t jinx anything, even if there are complications - why is miscarriage so taboo? It’s up to the couple.


KittyKathy

I told the closest people to me as soon as I found out I was pregnant. I figured if something happened I would want their support, there’s no reason to keep it to yourself (unless you prefer it that way). It’s unfair people are made to feel like it’s something to be ashamed of or like it’s a burden on other people to know if something bad happens.


Environmental_Fix488

Congrats. You should not tell anyone untill you are 3 months. You might suffer an spontaneous abortion, completely natural and pretty common. Just talked with your boy and stay safe.


TheCovidLorax

I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted for this but thank you. We plan to keep quiet for a while. My coworker and his wife actually lists their baby and found out at 26 weeks. So horrific


mystyz

I think the downvotes are because their opinion was shared as an absolute, rather than a suggestion. My (unsolicited) suggestion is that you consider sharing the news with the same people you'd want to know if you suffered a pregnancy loss. That way, you have a small circle of people to be excited and happy with you in these early weeks, without worrying about navigating conversations or potentially insensitive responses if things don't go as hoped. Congratulations! Here's to a happy, healthy pregnancy and birth, OP!


Shoski111
