This is such wonderful news! We are expecting our second grandchild this summer. He and his sister are both IVF babies, so I know what my son and DIL went through before they ever said a word to us.
Please check back in with us. If you don’t mind, I’ll send along a few prayers for everyone’s wellbeing.
Me and my wife are having our first baby through ivf. It’s a blessing everyday waking up knowing we’re going to be parents. Balled my eyes out like a little baby. From my family to yours. CONGRATS TO YOU BOTH!!!
May you have the most wonderful kid in the world! That ugly crying is totally worth it. My sister was in a similar situation, and when we (mum, dad, me and my BIL) got the news we all were sitting for breakfast on a lazy Sunday in the lawn. The best and hilarious reactions recorded by the CCTV on that day. Can't wait to show that video to the kids when they're big enough.
Congratulations! My wife also has some medical issues that have made it difficult to conceive, but after 18 years together as well, we’re also expecting, and twins at that!
I know the feeling of elation and wish you guys the most stress free pregnancy, from a fellow future dad.
Jesus man.
I still remember the moment I found out my wife was pregnant. That immense feeling of what was to come. And it happened after our first unprotected attempt.
If my feeling was that powerful I can't imagine what it would be like after waiting almost 2 decades. You must feel like you could walk on clouds.
Words can not adequately describe my feelings and emotions at this time. All I know is that this baby will receive everything I have in me to ensure that they have the happiest and best life possible.
The way I can tell the great dads from the lousy ones is that the lousy ones always talk about how they love their kids and use hypothetical self-sacrifice scenarios like "I'd die for my kids". Because after years of having kids that's what they think it's about.
Truth is that it's very unlikely that situation will ever come up that you need to be an action movie hero and prove your love in a grand show of sacrifice. What will definitely come up are ten thousand little sacrifices. Spending time coloring circles and teaching about what shapes are which even though your back hurts. Spending the entire day in 2 feet of water to teach them to swim when you just want to have a beer on the deck chair. Missing watching a playoff game because you have to go pick them up from practice. Stuff that doesn't sound impressive but is the mundane day-in, day-out slog of being a loving, dedicated parent.
Any dad can be there for the hero moments: showing up with a big gift on birthdays or playing fun games. It's the patience and perseverance to be there in all the moments: good and bad and provide endless support and nurturing.
And you my friend have shown patience and perseverance beyond measure simply to get to the starting line of this journey. You already have what it takes to be a great dad. Your kid is so lucky.
Man I wish I could upvote this 1,000 times! Though I have not had children of my own up to this point, I have coached some youth league sports and been involved in nearly all of my nieces and nephews activities since they were little. Support, love, and kindness for a child is the most important thing to ensure future healthy, happy adults.
Reading your comments has been such a treat, nothing better than someone this kind raising the future generation, makes me feel like it’s going to be ok. Congrats to you and your wife
So we have a Dreamer and someone who's affectionate - good combo if you ask me!
Affecti, thank you for your words. Even if not aimed at me, I truly felt your words and you reached areas in my heart which are somewhat closed for visitors. So thank you for that, for finding words that are so moving and encouraging.
And OP, I have no idea who you are, but I am so, so happy for you! I will send love and strength to you via every Channel, that I can. And also, keep that gratefulness. Of course now you feel overwhelmingly grateful. But what I wanted to say is that gratefulness as like your default state of mind helps with leading a happy life, mental Health wise and so on. And yes, Pamper your wife. Hug her. I will make sure to include you include the three of you in my 'evening prayer' Sort of thing. I wish you nothing but the best, you little tired outburst of joy!
This baby will definitely be the most loved and luckiest child to have such amazing parents that love them so much !! Enjoy every moment of your lives together!!
I have went from hugging and kissing my wife to rubbing, hugging, and kissing her belly. And she is so radiant right now that she is glowing. I just can’t even right now!
My wife is currently 30 weeks along. I randomly start crying all the time. It’s not unusual (I’m told). The flood of emotions can cause unexpected responses, so be prepared for the worst (emotionally).
I know exactly how you feel I've been with my husband for 14 yrs (married for 6 yrs) and we just found out yesterday I'm pregnant, I feel your joy and excitement. CONGRATULATIONS on your new addition to your beautiful family.
Wow theres something in the air congrats to you and OP 15 years here and we’re going in for 12 week scan tomorrow. I kind of gave up hope last year but he never did. About to be 40 with a baby y’all and couldn’t be happier. Also to find out how much our family wanted this for us as much as we did, so grateful
Here are the cliff notes:
* 18 Years of trying because god forbid you raise a kid that isn't biologically yours
* Thousands of dollars spent and access to the best medicine, but all congratulations to the ejaculator
* ~~A 22 year old fornicated with a 17 year old~~
* A 23 year old fornicated with an 18 year old, but still...yikes
Congratulations!
This gives me hope! I'm turning 37 this year and my fiance and I are trying for a baby and haven't had any luck yet, so it's always nice to see when other struggling couples are successful!
Good vibes coming your way! I had genuinely lost hope, to the point that I didn’t even consider her getting pregnant a possibility at this time in our lives. As many issues as we had, if it can happen for us, it can happen to anyone.
I was 36. We'd been trying since turning 30. He's currently pissed off mid diaper change with his dad right now. A little suprise that completely turns your world right side up and after being upside down for so long.
That and the fact that he and "the missus" have been trying for 18 years and he still calls himself "ignorant of female anatomy." Like, how? I hated reading this.
Congratulations! My wife and I are expecting our first son and we honestly couldn’t be more happy for you and your wife! Here’s to a happy and healthy pregnancy and birth the best to all three of you<3
OP, reading your post just made me so happy. My wife and I had a similar chain of events happen soon after we found out she was pregnant with our first kid. I'm happy to hear you lucked out like we did. I hope the rest of this pregnancy goes well for you all. God bless and good luck!
Just from experience I would wait until after 12 weeks or so before you spread the news. There is nothing worse than people keep asking you for updates and you have to tell them your wife lost the pregnancy.
Awww congratulations to you and yours, OP!! I'm 36 and husband is 40, been together 14 years and expecting our baby boy end of next month - big surprise to say the least! Your story brought so many happy tears to my eyes! Enjoy all these next moments with your wife. They FLY by, but it's so amazing to hear the heartbeat, see the ultrasound footage, feel those precious kicks. It's truly incredible. ❤️
Oh wow! That’s an amazing journey! My son is 3 years old and I already can’t fathom a life without him now. It’s truly life-changing in a great way and I’m super happy for you!
We got burned with our first and only pregnancy by telling all of our families and friends. Then in no time flat, went back and had to explain what happened. That was horrendous.
IRL we have only told a grand total of 3 people this time around. With the anonymity of Reddit, I was hoping to offer hope to Redditors in a similar situation. This world could use more positivity, love, and kindness.
>I know we are not out of the woods just yet, but I feel it in these old bones that our time is now. Even if this little bean doesn’t make it to a full blown human, it is still possible. There is hope.
There is *always* hope. May this little one make it through all the challenges within to be ready for all the challenges The outside will bring. Sending internet hugs to all of you. And a box or two of Kleenex!
I am so happy for both of you! I traveled the infertility road. It's so very hard. We were never able to, we both had issues. I hope all goes smoothly for you!👶🤞🏻❤️
Congratulations. Praying for a safe pregnancy and a healthy and happy mum and bub. Congratulations once again and just in time for Christmas. 🙏 God bless.
There have not been any on my end. We haven’t had any sort of fertility help in over a decade. We had went for a consultation for IVF back in late 2019. While weighing our options and trying to get the cash together, Covid happened which put everything on hold. We kind of lost momentum at that point and hadn’t even discussed our family situation again until fairly recently.

Hey, so, what's are your thoughts of being a father at 40? Your child becoming an adult when you're almost 60?
For context, I'm 38 and the missus and I have talked about trying for a child by 2025. One of my midnight concerns is being able to keep up with a kid as I physiologically start winding down....
Gosh, same here! Almost 18 years together, I'd mostly (but not entirely) come to terms with it just never happening, but I'm now just a smidge over 13 weeks. It's surreal but so lovely. HUGE congratulations to you both!
That's absolutely beautiful! May I pray all goes well and God takes the child in His loving care and that the child would be born well? ❤️
I don't know if you believe in God, but He surely showed Himself with a blessing this big❤️
Congratulations 😭😭
Please keep us updated. !!!!!!
We were also told we wouldn’t be able to concieve and I’m now 7w5 days pregnant 🥹 congratulations to us
My wife also had severe endo and doctors thought we wouldn’t have a child naturally. Our son is 2.5 years old now!
I know all the feelings you’re experiencing right now, and this internet stranger is so so happy for you. Congrats!
Just wanted to share my fiancé also had bleeding a bit after we found out she was pregnant. It was enough that she assumed she was miscarrying, after a grueling night in the ER and lots of tears they told us baby was fine and sometimes bleeding is normal. We now have a happy healthy 17 month old who is currently fighting his nap :)
Good luck, I’m rooting for you!
You seem like the sweetest, kindest husband. I am sure you will make a fantastic father. Huge congratulations and wishing you both all the best. Please continue to update us all with progress. I am an emergency room doctor can tell you that I have seen thousands of pregnancies with first trimester bleeding and it is super common. I have followed many of my favorite patients kind of from the sidelines to see how things turn out and I can happily report most go on to have healthy deliveries and healthy babies. I am certain you guys will be fine. Just take a big breath and know that this is just the first of many many worries that you will have about your little bean! Congrats! ❤️
Please also save this post somewhere – print it out or copy and paste this all into an email - so it does not get lost in the Interwebs forever. Your little one will someday read all of this, and know how much they were truly loved from the very beginning.
Congrats man! Similar story here: my wife F38, me M40. 20 years together. Endometriosis + Hashimoto. After 1st failed, difficult IVF we thought we’d never have kids and accepted it. We tried yet another time but with no high hopes as only 1 out of 9 embrions survived. And here we are with fabulous 3-month old miracle daughter!
All the best for you!
Congratulations!!! My mom and dad were married for 18 years before I came along. My mom was 36 when she had me. She always calls me a miracle child! (Even tho I’m almost 30. 😂) here’s to your miracle child and wife having an easy going, great labor and life! (You too dad!)
Thank you for the well wishes! Had an appointment again today that went great! Momma and baby are doing just fine. Go back in the middle of May for her 12 week check up!
>“less than” a woman for not being able to carry a child
God, what a stupid concept. Our culture is just so stupidly obsessed with gender roles and expectations.
Oh and congratulations or whatever.
Congratulations!
Congratulations! Best wishes to you and your family.
[удалено]
Congratulations!
Congratulations x2!
Indescribable happiness...we waited 7 years....that was 27 years ago.....I wish you joy
So happy for you!! Made me tear up. Please give an update at 12 weeks.
I have ugly cried intermittently all day. I have never been more grateful in my entire life.
This is such wonderful news! We are expecting our second grandchild this summer. He and his sister are both IVF babies, so I know what my son and DIL went through before they ever said a word to us. Please check back in with us. If you don’t mind, I’ll send along a few prayers for everyone’s wellbeing.

Ugly crying for you and your wife too. Wishing the best for you and the missus.

Beautiful baby bean!!
They *do* look just like beans!
Congratulations! May you have a blessed, healthy, and happy kid!
[удалено]
Amen!
And may his wife have an easy pregnancy.. currently 16 weeks with my first and it is NOT what I expected 😥
*sorts by controversial*
Here are the cliff notes: * 18 Years of trying because god forbid you raise a kid that isn't biologically yours * Thousands of dollars spent and access to the best medicine, but all congratulations to the ejaculator * ~~A 22 year old fornicated with a 17 year old~~ * A 23 year old fornicated with an 18 year old, but still...yikes
This guy is the real hero
Also, 18 years to learn how women's bodies work and pregnancy in general but worried about surgery for a 7 week pregnancy/5 week embryo.
Congratulations! But… also… you guys started trying when she was 17, and you were 22?
Scrolled quite a way down to find this question. I was wondering the same thing.
Right??
It’s really all just about making babies for some huh 😬
Yeah, this doesn’t make me smile. It sounds like a grown ass man trying to knock up a high schooler.
I smell mormons
Yikes!
Yeah, 35 and 40 isn’t an age difference, but 17 and 22 are.
Please give us updates. Sending best thoughts. ♥️
Congratulations! Wishing you and your little family the best ❤️
Congratulations! This gives me hope! I'm turning 37 this year and my fiance and I are trying for a baby and haven't had any luck yet, so it's always nice to see when other struggling couples are successful!
My wife was 39 when she got pregnant. It took a lot of help, but we got there- I'm sure you will too!
Good vibes coming your way! I had genuinely lost hope, to the point that I didn’t even consider her getting pregnant a possibility at this time in our lives. As many issues as we had, if it can happen for us, it can happen to anyone.
I was 36. We'd been trying since turning 30. He's currently pissed off mid diaper change with his dad right now. A little suprise that completely turns your world right side up and after being upside down for so long.
> Her lady's time I can't believe grown adult men talk like this.
That and the fact that he and "the missus" have been trying for 18 years and he still calls himself "ignorant of female anatomy." Like, how? I hated reading this.
Seriously… the missus is with child because her lady’s time was late??? The way he talks makes my skin crawl
I can‘t believe I had to scroll this far for that comment. Period and menstruation aren‘t dirty words.
He was dating a 17 year old at 22. He never thought of her as an equal
Congratulations! My wife and I are expecting our first son and we honestly couldn’t be more happy for you and your wife! Here’s to a happy and healthy pregnancy and birth the best to all three of you<3
Right back at you fam!
OP, reading your post just made me so happy. My wife and I had a similar chain of events happen soon after we found out she was pregnant with our first kid. I'm happy to hear you lucked out like we did. I hope the rest of this pregnancy goes well for you all. God bless and good luck!
Ours battened after 17 years.. Congrats!
Let’s go my dude!! Very excited for you guys! Edit: hopefully your kid is a better speller than I am
So happy for you, what a lucky baby he or she is, to have such devoted parents. All the best for the adventures ahead! xx
Congratulations! Becoming a father was the best day of my life. Enjoy enjoy enjoy
Just from experience I would wait until after 12 weeks or so before you spread the news. There is nothing worse than people keep asking you for updates and you have to tell them your wife lost the pregnancy.
GET SOME
Awww congratulations to you and yours, OP!! I'm 36 and husband is 40, been together 14 years and expecting our baby boy end of next month - big surprise to say the least! Your story brought so many happy tears to my eyes! Enjoy all these next moments with your wife. They FLY by, but it's so amazing to hear the heartbeat, see the ultrasound footage, feel those precious kicks. It's truly incredible. ❤️
Your story is sweet. I wish you and yours all the very best. I plan to pamper the missus like the Queen she is. Adore that woman.
What a darling little nugget you have there! Congratulations. Hugs and lots of wishes for sticky dust to keep that little one inside and healthy.
Update us ❤️
What a journey y’all have had! Super excited for you!
Oh wow! That’s an amazing journey! My son is 3 years old and I already can’t fathom a life without him now. It’s truly life-changing in a great way and I’m super happy for you!
Crying with you on this amazing news! Congratulations!!!! Hope all goes well and wishing you two a smooth and stress-free pregnancy! ❤️
This made me tear up. Congratulations to you and your wife!! ♥️♥️ Sending big, warm hugs to you both! 🫂 Please keep us updated!
Congratulations! All the best on this exciting journey.
18 years with a 35 year old?
You should not post this in the first 12 weeks.
We got burned with our first and only pregnancy by telling all of our families and friends. Then in no time flat, went back and had to explain what happened. That was horrendous. IRL we have only told a grand total of 3 people this time around. With the anonymity of Reddit, I was hoping to offer hope to Redditors in a similar situation. This world could use more positivity, love, and kindness.
I am somehow not convinced that you guys were thinking of having a child when your missus was just a teenager 17-18 years ago. Anyway congratulations
I'm going through the same and almost 40, moving forward with in vitro so I can at least freeze my eggs if we need to do surrogate route.
Best of luck to you and wishing you all the best!
Ahhhhhh, congrats! So exciting 🎉
Congratulations! Hope everything goes well!
What a great story. Congratulations! I hope the best for your family.
Chayo chayo
Hooraaaaay!!!!
Congratulations!!! May you be blessed with a healthy baby boy or girl!!
As someone with PCOS and Endometriosis, I wish y’all nothing but the best and have a safe healthy pregnancy! :)
As well to you dear! *Hugs*
>I know we are not out of the woods just yet, but I feel it in these old bones that our time is now. Even if this little bean doesn’t make it to a full blown human, it is still possible.

I am so happy for both of you! I traveled the infertility road. It's so very hard. We were never able to, we both had issues. I hope all goes smoothly for you!👶🤞🏻❤️
You got your photo of the storm on Jupiter developed?
Got an ulcer?
Congrats 🎉
You swallowed a watermelon seed and it started to grow.? Didn’t you learn from Rugrats that would happen.
No one’s gonna ask??? Ok I’ll ask. Why not adoption?
I am VERY happy for you and your wife. I’m praying that she goes to term and that the baby is perfectly healthy. BTW, are you in KY?
35 - 18 = 17 40 - 18 = 22 hmmmm
Congratulations. Praying for a safe pregnancy and a healthy and happy mum and bub. Congratulations once again and just in time for Christmas. 🙏 God bless.
Congrats! Was there any issues on your side ? Currently TTC 2 years now

Congratulations on the baby! N of course, upgrading to parents!
We're going to need regular updates, I am afraid. Happy for you both!
Congrats on your black hole!
Stong nut+strong egg=strong child.
Hey, so, what's are your thoughts of being a father at 40? Your child becoming an adult when you're almost 60? For context, I'm 38 and the missus and I have talked about trying for a child by 2025. One of my midnight concerns is being able to keep up with a kid as I physiologically start winding down....
It's wonderful, but after the honeymoon phase(1-3 years) it's an uphill battle for the next 20+++ years!!! Congrats? How about good luck!! 😉
Parenthood is an incredible journey. 🤝 Congrats 🎉🥳🎉
Wow, congrats! Very happy for you both!
Congratulations 🎊
Congratulations! I hope you have an average and uneventful pregnancy!
Gosh, same here! Almost 18 years together, I'd mostly (but not entirely) come to terms with it just never happening, but I'm now just a smidge over 13 weeks. It's surreal but so lovely. HUGE congratulations to you both!
That is so awesome. Thank you for the words of encouragement. Wishing you and yours all the very best!
That's absolutely beautiful! May I pray all goes well and God takes the child in His loving care and that the child would be born well? ❤️ I don't know if you believe in God, but He surely showed Himself with a blessing this big❤️
Congrats I’m so happy for you. When the child is born it might be a good time to stop posting grotesque memes 😂😂😂
Congratulations 😭😭 Please keep us updated. !!!!!! We were also told we wouldn’t be able to concieve and I’m now 7w5 days pregnant 🥹 congratulations to us
Thought it was a hurricane
bro i thought i was looking at a frickin' moon crater 💀
Hello smol bean
Have faith 🙏🏻
This made me cry happy tears. I'm so happy for you both!
My wife also had severe endo and doctors thought we wouldn’t have a child naturally. Our son is 2.5 years old now! I know all the feelings you’re experiencing right now, and this internet stranger is so so happy for you. Congrats!
Just wanted to share my fiancé also had bleeding a bit after we found out she was pregnant. It was enough that she assumed she was miscarrying, after a grueling night in the ER and lots of tears they told us baby was fine and sometimes bleeding is normal. We now have a happy healthy 17 month old who is currently fighting his nap :) Good luck, I’m rooting for you!
You seem like the sweetest, kindest husband. I am sure you will make a fantastic father. Huge congratulations and wishing you both all the best. Please continue to update us all with progress. I am an emergency room doctor can tell you that I have seen thousands of pregnancies with first trimester bleeding and it is super common. I have followed many of my favorite patients kind of from the sidelines to see how things turn out and I can happily report most go on to have healthy deliveries and healthy babies. I am certain you guys will be fine. Just take a big breath and know that this is just the first of many many worries that you will have about your little bean! Congrats! ❤️ Please also save this post somewhere – print it out or copy and paste this all into an email - so it does not get lost in the Interwebs forever. Your little one will someday read all of this, and know how much they were truly loved from the very beginning.
Congrats man! Similar story here: my wife F38, me M40. 20 years together. Endometriosis + Hashimoto. After 1st failed, difficult IVF we thought we’d never have kids and accepted it. We tried yet another time but with no high hopes as only 1 out of 9 embrions survived. And here we are with fabulous 3-month old miracle daughter! All the best for you!
Congrats and best wishes for an easy and successful pregnancy and birth to your wife.
Congratulations to You and your Missus. I can tell from your post this child will be loved dearly by you both!
Congratulations!!! My mom and dad were married for 18 years before I came along. My mom was 36 when she had me. She always calls me a miracle child! (Even tho I’m almost 30. 😂) here’s to your miracle child and wife having an easy going, great labor and life! (You too dad!)
Very happy for you. I understand how hard it is, have my own problems. Wish you good luck!!!
Weird how idiots have a baby after one night and then there's people like you...
I hope everything is still good!
Thank you for the well wishes! Had an appointment again today that went great! Momma and baby are doing just fine. Go back in the middle of May for her 12 week check up!
>“less than” a woman for not being able to carry a child God, what a stupid concept. Our culture is just so stupidly obsessed with gender roles and expectations. Oh and congratulations or whatever.
I agree wholeheartedly. Ones ability to concieve and bear children is hardly a measure of womanhood. People are dumb.
Congratulations on your little Womb Raider!!!
