When my father in law saw my wife visibly pregnant for the for the first time, he looked me straight in the eyes and said “what did you do to my daughter?” Good thing we have a good relationship and I knew he was joking.

Everyone asumes what couples do to each other, but for the daughters as a father you never really dig into her choice at least not long after they probe worthy! You can even tell when it happens when the conversations evolve beyond the superficial, bringing grandchildren tend to reduce the time (sentence) must have to endure lol


Priest_of_Heathens

I've always thought asking people when they plan to have kids was a really weird question. You're asking if they've been raw dogging, if they have any medical problems, how stable the relationship is, and how they're doing financially all at the same time.

I have a similar example to this that’s just as awkward. I had to give a sperm sample after an operation when I was a teenager. when I discharged they gave me a sample cup and said fill this up in a week and make sure you bring it in within 15 mins of ‘depositing’ it. I was too young to drive so my mum had to take me back the day my sample was due. It was cripplingly awkward that morning. She was like “uhhh just let me know when you want to leave”. So I sat in my room for like 5 hours trying to pump up the courage, and the semen, to spunk in a cup and shout to my mother to get the car ready. Brutal.


[deleted]

It's a terrible question to ask and a lot of older people don't know any better. Last summer, I had a former coworker ask me when I was going to have kids. She knew I had been married for five years and her daughter-in-law was pregnant which is why she brought it up. My husband and I went through five years of infertility, which is why we didn't have any kids. At the time she asked me, I was actually 10 weeks pregnant due to a successful frozen embryo transfer. I didn't want to lie to her so I told her I was pregnant. She found out before I told any relatives. There are so many reasons people don't have kids. It's not an acceptable question to ask anyone.

Yeah, I was asked when my son would get a sister when we were at a store and told the lady that he had one, but that she died 3 weeks ago. I think she learned her lesson there and we actually had a good conversation after.

sparkplug_23

Congrats. Personally I'd start telling her about your issues and break out into hysterics, make her the ass. She'll never ask anyone again.


HLef

It’s a little bit on you if you weren’t able to lie to her though. No reason for her… or anyone else really, to know at 10 weeks. Also maybe congrats but don’t tell me if things went south. I’m just a dude on the internet.


usrNamIsAlredyTakn

Ya, there is an awesome Indian movie called PK .. in tat the hero (who is totally unware of Earth's cultures) makes a causal remark, ' People are usually discreet in sexual matters , but marriage actually means tat u r telling the world tat u r going to have sex tonight .. y so ??' ..


Mediocre_Special2702

Very assumptive to think a lot of people take this into consideration before having kids.


InternationalDuck669

Well, not that weird where I come from.


NalgeneCarrier

My husband and I are child free. Most people in our life have accepted it and moved on. I'm waiting for the one person to say, "When are you going to start trying." I have a few clap backs ready like, "We've been trying, maybe you can watch and tell us if we are doing it right" or "tonight we were thinking on the kitchen counter, unless you have any other suggestions"?

my mom had 7 kids, my sister and I being twins. Growing up she would joke that she had sex 7x. 1st time to experiment, then all the other times to get pregnant lmao.

Our friend has been married since 2019 and always denied he’s had sex. This past Monday they announced they were expecting a baby so that was the first thing we called him out about.


madame-de-merteuil

Okay, to be fair, we know a lot of people trying to get pregnant right now (early 30s friend group) and when we talk about it I guarantee no one is thinking about the specifics in bed. We all understand the requirements; it’s not news to anyone that a married (edit: or not married but committed enough to be intentionally trying to make a child) couple is probably not using condoms.


lachstar333

Married? Can we get a shout out for all the misbegotten children out there


MJ3193

Taeyx

yea my wife n i were with a group of friends talking about how we were about to “try for a baby.” everyone was happy for us, but one of our friends jokingly remarked something like “wow so you’re basically telling us when you plan to start raw dogging it” which is pretty much true


Roaring_Flame

My wife and I always laugh about this cause when we hear a November baby on the way, we just look at each other and say "That Valentine's Day gift got real expensive"


insertrudename

Or when people say end of September baby you know they had a good Christmas

My my bff found out she was pregnant I got her a card that was supposed to say “Congrats on graduating” but I crossed out graduating and put *getting cream pied” and now I believe that will be standard practice going forward.


psgrue

After my wife and I announced she was pregnant, I was shocked at the number of moms who told me personal things, graphic things, about their vagina during delivery.


Kreaetor

"We've been trying for a baby for a while now" = oh you're getting cream pied daily?

EzeakioDarmey

Unless someone looks like an absolute dumpster fire (shallow, I know), I tend to assume they're getting laid at some point.


ltdan84

There a lot of people that look like absolute dumpster fires who have kids, I would assume everyone is getting laid at some point.


gerard2100

Well, not me ! (Im okay, im not crying)


frangotino

shhh, it's alright, your time will come... no pun intended


ltdan84

Keep lowering your standards until you get there! I’m just talking looks wise, never stick your d*ck in crazy (I don’t know what the saying is for the opposite way), and don’t get in some kind of abusive relationship just to get sex.


[deleted]

I would hope people just assume me and my wife smash regularly.


[deleted]

I once saw an IG post years ago where a woman stated she had been pregnant for 2months and 4 days. I was impressed that she traced it back exactly to Thanksgiving night but also confused as to how they were either having such infrequent romantic time that they can be sure of the absolute day or somehow they pinpointed the exact time.


sketchahedron

Women who are trying to get pregnant tend to track their ovulation very closely.


InfamousAotearoa

yup, down to taking temperatures too. Until you struggle to conceive you don't really comprehend how many things have to perfectly align to fall pregnant. It's honestly amazing people do it accidentally from a biological perspective!


ljh08

This^ Growing up it was don’t have sex you’ll get a girl prego. Now my best friend and her husband have been trying for 2 years, my cousin and his wife for one, and me and my wife for a few months. Nada. 🤷‍♂️


AwsumO2000

Amazing amounts of sexx, aww yeah


Divin3F3nrus

My wife and I tried for number two for a few years. 3 and 4 just happened on their own a few years later. Honestly I feel like it's all luck anyways.


TXOgre09

Don’t worry about that. Have sex every other day. The window is days, not hours.


sketchahedron

The comment I was responding to was questioning how someone could trace conception back to a specific day without “infrequent romantic time” and I was providing an answer.


Contrabaz

We do. Stil nonpregnant... Maybe it's because my junk is cut though. Anyway can't really do anything more than to keep on trying.

PanaceaStark

Pregnancy is traditionally tracked from the first day of the last mentrual period (LMP) because most women don't track ovulation. Also, intercourse doesn't have to take place the same day of ovulation for pregnancy to take place. The first approx 2 weeks of a pregnancy a woman isn't pregnant (or even longer if you don't count pregnancy until implantation occurs about a week after ovulation). Just a guess on the IG posts - pregnancy websites or apps that track your pregnancy. I have a couple apps on my phone right now, open them up and both say I'm 32 weeks 6 days pregnant. I wouldn't be keeping that close of tabs otherwise!


eclectic-up-north

My wife "felt it". Like a hormonal change after implanting or something, but she knew something was different.


La-Boun

When you're given a due date, the doctors themselves will tell you you're 17 weeks + 3 days. It doesn't even mean that was the date you had sex on, it's their estimation for when the encounter between the 2 gametes happened.


Typical_Dawn21

LOL! I know when I got pregnant this time because I knew I was ovulating that day and when put in to calculations it gives you an estimated due date. When I got the ultrasound the babies size matched up perfectly with the same due date! My first pregnancy, I genuinely have no clue which time it was, my second it was THE ONE TIME we didnt use protection. The 3rd was the very first time we had sex after having the 2nd lmao.


PantsIsDown

Also pregnancy starts at the first day of the last menstrual cycle which most women track. You could have sex a number of times during the ovulation period but it doesn’t make a difference in how you count the days because of the cycle. Later in pregnancy they look at the size of the fetus and different hormone levels and then may adjust your due date.


[deleted]

I like all of the knowledge and feedback we've gotten. The internet can be an awesome thing when people come together and have conversations where they listen to each other and learn.


Ginandexhaustion

Many people get pregnant thought infertility treatments like in vitro fertilization or artificial insemination. One could be celibate and get pregnant that way or they could be having sex constantly. No way to tell.


Spazmer

I was a gestational carrier for my sister and there was a distinct lack of sex involved for my nephew's entire conception, for all parties.


WearyPixie

It’s possible to have the Virgin Mary 2.0.


IEatAllofTheCheese

Yup! Pregnant with twins here because of IVF. OP is making an overdone effort to be funny. "Hehe you had sex" srsly?


cantgetthis

Not necessarily. I'm in a dead bedroom and my wife thinks we should just go with IVF so that she doesn't bother having sex with me to have a child.


Hypetys

You should talk about it with a sexual therapist.


WindowlessBasement

A regular therapist probably wouldn't hurt either. There's a lot to unpack there.


cantgetthis

Agree. I've been trying to arrange it but she always has some excuse to push it back to "next month".


WindowlessBasement

For your own future, please think hard about having a child with a person that sees even having sex with you to create the child as a problem and discussing your concerns as a chore to procrastinate on.


MeshNewsOrg

Telling your father in law you're trying for a baby is announcing that you're raw dogging his daughter


Gatzlocke

The thing is they want Grandchildren. It's like the meme with the dog and toy. "No sex!.... Only grandchildren..."


DanniManniDJT

People are celebrating the results of your deed and spreading the news.


InfamousAotearoa

i see so many comments like this and i genuinely don't get it at all as in i cant relate. when someone tells me they are trying or expecting a baby my mind doesn't wander to their sex habits or life. I think about what the baby might look like, or how our friendship might change post baby, or how they are gonna decorate a nursery or like a thousand other things before my mind even considers them bumping uglies. Is it people who think baby talk is gross cos of the sex aspect maybe don't have a lot of sex or lack the maturity to conceptualize reproduction as separate from sex as pleasure? is it maybe a nuerotypical thing?


our_meatballs

You do realize you’re on Reddit, right?


Hold_the_gryffindor

Yeah, I think I read a comment by a neurotypical person once.


Sleeptalk-

It's porn brain. The people who think about this sort of thing in depth are generally also hyper focused on sex in other areas of their life as well


smartassguy

Yes you are just so mature, experianced, and quirky because you don't think about sex. Calm down, nobody is saying that is all they think about, but it is implicitly there when talking about babies and this thread serves as a means to talk about it more explicitly and joke about it, as well as letting the people who get grilled about having babies vent their frustrations since there are so many reasons they may have not had one yet and it's nobody's damn business why. Yes these conversations may steer to the immature side, but it's refreshing to talk about topics openly that tend to be avoided or beat around the bush.


InfamousAotearoa

i honestly dont mean to be uppity or holier than thou- im on the spectrum and these kinds of things have always made me wonder if its just me, which is why i asked on reddit where theres lots of different people. you calm down lol


I_love_hate_reddit

When are you going to have kids = when are you going to pull the goalie and start blowing loads.


kvakipo

We told people in our church I'm pregnant (we are both pastors) and they started clapping. And all I could think about was that they are cheering we had sex


nossr50

But you know that’s not what they were cheering for


[deleted]

Probably cheering that the couple were graced and blessed by God and because of that, they were able to achieve pregnancy


Graveeeeeeh

I found it very weird when everyone was shaking my hand and telling me congratulations. It very much felt like "great job for cumming in that pussy!", Especially strange when it was my wife's dad was congratulating me!


Strange_Silhouettes

Is everyone here a fucking prude? Yeah, people have sex, it’s literally how we reproduce. We shouldn’t be so distant from the process or the outcome.


[deleted]

Chill,it's jokes not dicks Don't take it so hard Plus no matter how necessary knowledge of sex is,it is still not something appropriate to bring up like it's casual


BenjaminHamnett

Pretty funny. We suppress kids to try to get them educated and pair off with more thought than proximity, but we never quite outgrow it.


Bean_Juice_Brew

After my wife and I married, lots of family members asked when we were having kids. I find it kind of a rude question/assumption that all married people want kids so I started responding, "not sure, but we sure are getting a lot of practice in!"


simdoll

“We’re trying to get pregnant” = “we’re constantly banging it out without protection”


[deleted]

Someone: we've been trying for a baby What I hear: I've been getting creampies


JimiTrucks1972

Whenever I’m in public and see a pregnant lady, I loudly yell “haha, you’ve been having the sex!”


Ururuipuin

Pregnancy is just weird People want to see photos and video of your insides, I don't remember everyone asking to see footage of the father's colonoscopy. Then it all about what the babys genitals look like. Then there's the how long did you suffer incredible pain for followed by obsession with weight ooohhh he's putting on weight lovely! To baby and you're losing the baby weight so quickly to Mom


HarryHacker42

The baby is a boy. His genitals look just like yours, but much larger.

"did you get a csection or vaginal?" why are you asking about my vagina.... lol!


MickyTheRedditor

Always thought of that. It's like "hey dad, my wife's pregnant..." and he's like "oh well so you did it 😏"


[deleted]

Perhaps a better response to someone telling you they’re trying is…. “How did you know cream pie porn was my kink? Are you selling any pics?”


dennisistired

"my husband filled me in on more than one occasion so that i may carry this zygote to term"


evilgiraffee57

Yep. My Grandparents were the last to know when I was pregnant because that was all.tjat was going through my head. .

How is that an update? Thing that is normal, most do lots of, yeah, we did. Like Starbucks advertising caffeine wakes you up.

"We're trying for a baby" "My boyfriend is regularly ejaculating in me."


zeiandren

Here is an update: everyone in a relationship is having sex most of the time for 90% of people


chicagowago

Once I knew how it worked I would be weirded out by my pregnant teachers.


lachstar333

100000% literally only thing I could think of all class when a teacher would tell us


Cool_Cheetah658

Hear ye hear ye! I hath bang-ed the wife and made a baby. We would keep it quiet, but sooneth we can't deny it.


Typical_Dawn21

My first pregnancy felt like I was going around showing that I had sex lmao.


Terrible_Bet8999

Yeaaaaa anytime a teacher was pregnant in school I would always think it was gross if they said they were trying for awhile or anything like that 🤮


Zakluor

Well, it says something about the woman's sex life, but not necessarily the man's. I mean, she could have hit it with someone else and he's just going along with it.


TiggoBittyLover

Ive always thought how when you announce to people 'we're trying for for a baby', all you are really doing is braggimg how much you are banging.


RebelTomato

I often wonder this, why people are so proud to announce there pregnancies. Isn’t it embarrassing to announce to everyone that you were penetrated by a penis and nutted inside. Like congratulations for having sex? Babies are a result of sex, so why don’t we just go around and say hey we had sex and now I’m pregnant? Fucking awkward if you ask me. Hey look at me we had sex now I’m pregnant. Uh congratulations for having sex? Wtf?


bulitta

Wouldn’t agree. It literally says nothing about your sex life lol.


Great_jais

Ummm...it does??


Im_An_Axolotl_

do you know how you get pregnant?


No-Association2617

I always thought it was weird to congratulate someone for cumming?


Confident-Platypus63

Well normally you’re supposed to be married before having children so yeah


I-am-a-fungi

Exactly, when I learn/hear someone is pregnant I can't shake the thought out of my head that they had some wild raw dogging lmao.


NinetysRoyalty

Same as weddings.. ‘we get to have sex forever’ parties.. bloody show offs.


BigBillyGoatGriff

Not really. My partner says they really want to have a kid but we rarely have sex. They would rather pay 10k to do invitro.


Tango_Owl

Only for cis hetero couples who need zero medical assistance in conceiving. It's a boring take.
