re: Heard my child’s heartbeat for the first time today

Wasn’t expecting the tears of joy from myself after confirming there was a heart beat.

It only gets better from here!
Cherish it each step of the way and don't make the mistake of hoping for the next phase.
They only go forward and you can't ever get that time back.

My only two pieces of advice would be:
1. Cavemen cared for babies. They are more resilient than they look. So, trust in yourself. You are going to be a good parent and will know and do the right thing even though you won't be sure of yourself.
2. When they want your attention, try to give it to them. There will come a day when they won't want it anymore, and you'd wish that you'd have chosen them over yourself.

If I had known how much joy and fulfillment I get out of spending time with them, I'd have had kids much, much sooner.
Congrats!

Congrats. We lost our first to miscarriage--never heard a heartbeat. Second was born healthy. Third (due in February!) gave us a scare when my wife started showing similar symptoms to the first. Luckily we got in and heard that little heart drumming away at a cool 170 BPM. I cried.

Congrats on the heart beat. A special moment.

Reality didn’t finally hit me until I heard her scream out while she was birthed/born. That was a true “oh shite” moment; but in the best way possible.

7 months in and having a blast.

What ya gonna do if he cries a lot?

Awesome

Congratulations, can’t wait for my opportunity to experience that.




Tell your wife I said hello.

Best years of your life are ahead of you. Buckle up and congrats

That’s awesome! Wife and I are going Thursday for the same thing

Congratulations and I pray the rest of the pregnancy goes ok.

I’m very jealous I must say.

Children truly are a blessing.

Life is good.

Congrats dude. Life changer
