    You're in for a wild ride she's gonna turn into such a fricking c**t you're gonna have to bite your tounge and let her be miserable after the niglet is born everything will go semi back to normal. Hope you like never having personal time because having a kid is deciding to an npc in their story they are the protagonist now.

    My son watches me lift and I take him on little walks in his stroller between sets so he doesn't get too bored I love him so much but it's alot of work especially the first year.

    She shouldn't worry too much about exercise just take the prenatal and relax and when the israelite doctors tries to convince you to induce don't listen because when the induction fails and they have to do a c section your workload as dad will be insane as frick
    good luck and congrats

        Maintaining a workout routine would be Gucci. My wife wishes she maintained better during her pregnancy because it makes you more fit for labour. It's gonna be tough though because she'll sleep like shit for the last 2-3 months of the pregnancy and like shit for like.. the next 6 months after.

        The induction + C-section happened to my wife and she fricking hated it.

        Also, do everything you can to breastfeed right away. Your gf is gonna be tired and all fricked up but those first couple of days out of the womb are vital. Have her breastfeed for like 2 years (introduce solids after 6 months). It's way better for the kid. The israelite hospital will try to put you on formula from the start.

        Also, have your gf pump a lot before going to the hospital and take the colostrum with you. It'll take the edge off right as the kid is born. It's normal that she can't produce much.

        My wife is prime breeding stock and we had 2/3 of a cup of the stuff. Most people just have a few ml.

        Breastfeeding is easy to frick up and lose all ability to do it and get hooked on formula goy garbage. Nestle fricked a lot of kids that way on purpose.

    I knocked up my (now wife) girlfriend when I was 20. Here's some things I wish people had told me.

    >marry her. I know three different guys who did not marry their knocked up girlfriends and subsequently lost all custody of their child while still having to pay most of their paychecks in child support
    >make her take a prenatal vitamin.
    >have her stop taking all drugs. No psych meds, no headache meds, no period pain meds.
    >she will become a completely different woman.
    >hormonal changes have a high likelihood of causing her to act out in batshit insane ways. It's your job as a man to control her during these outbursts so that she does not ruin her and your lives
    >there is no reason to gain more than 40-50lbs during pregnancy. It took my wife less than a year to regain her body from all three of our children. EVERY woman your wife meets will tell her it's her divine duty to become a fat b***h and you need to make sure she knows that's a bunch of horse shit
    >make sure she breastfeeds. EVERY woman she meets will tell her to give it up at the first sign of hardship. Her nipples will bleed. Her breasts will hurt. She'll be cluster feeding for months on end. It's her duty. Make her do it. It's not only the best for the baby, but it's the natural way in which her body is supposed to shed the gained weight.
    >your child will not smile at you until it's at least 3-4 months old
    >colic can last until a baby is a year old and no one will believe you
    >do not be afraid to leave a baby to cry itself to sleep. I had to do this for every scheduled nap and bedtime for my first child until he was 9 months old.

      More tips

      >your mother will hate your new wife and her mother will hate you. It's a part of their biology.
      >you will need to teach your wife that you are the ultimate decision maker for your new family. Your/her Parents' opinions should be considered but also discarded when appropriate (most of the time)
      >do not let israelite doctor give your wife a "husband stitch" I had a dumb b***h woman doctor do this to my wife and she has never recovered from it
      >do not feel bad about stealing shit from the hospital. If you are a contributing member of society, you'll probably have to pay 6-20k out of pocket for the birth of your new kid. If you get free Healthcare then please eradicate the three of you because we don't need another mouth to feed with tax dollars.
      >everyone will judge you for everything you do regarding your baby. Frick them. Trust that you're doing the right thing.
      >the doctors really will straight up try to bully you into letting them circumcise your sons. Don't give in.

        Final piece of advice because I'm very sleepy

        >your entire view of the world will change. If you are young, prepare to be judged for the rest of your life until you've purchased a house and are financially stable. Most people thought I was a piece of shit for having three kids until I bought a house at 25, even though I've been pulling 6 figures the past two years. Your single or childless friends will start to seem like children. Your testosterone will permanently drop. Your wife needs to do most of the work consoling your baby in the middle of the night so you can focus on your career. It's indescribable how your view of the world will change once you become a father but just know that you're not alone.

        >that's not your gf anymore. That's your wife. You are stuck dealing with her FOR LIFE. WETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. I HOPE SHES NOT JUST SOME b***h YOU WERE FRICKING WITH AND YOU ACTUALLY LOVE HER

          Final piece of advice I promise.

          >love is temporary

          You need to marry this gf to not only do the right thing and do best by the innocent life you are bringing into the world, but also to protect yourself legally. Bear in mind that marriage has nothing to do with love. You don't need to be married to be in love. With that being said, you WILL stop loving your wife. Theirs nothing wrong with that. It's like being scared. Being scared doesn't matter, what matters is what you do when you're scared. What matters is what you do and how you treat your family when you no longer love them. That's your wife and the mother of your children. Treat her like one no matter what. Your child is watching and learning.

                Cannot stress trying to keep things normal, let her have her hobbies, work out etc. Even if it's just kettlebell shit, she can do it anywhere at anytime. The pre-birth pumping is god-tier advice btw. The baby will take literally anything and will be happy for a bit. After that, it's your partner dealing the with kid every 2-3 hours for 6 months. Suggest trying to get her to learn how to nap and micro-sleep etc.

                Congrats, anon. My wife is 4 months pregnant. It's our first child. We're very happy about it though sometimes it gets kinda scary since it's something completely unknown for us. But that's fine I guess.

                Yesterday we found out it's a boy and we're now thinking of a name.
                Enjoy the process, mate. Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming.

                Cheers,

                Grats brah. Don't let the doctors cut off his foreskin.

                Having a kid is literally the most natural thing there is don't stress about it. Do not believe any morons telling you to buy stupid shit. You need to buy a carseat and a bassinet. That's it. Let other people buy you clothes and shit. Maybe buy newborn diapers and baby wipes, but really the grandparents and uncles/aunts should buy you this stuff. They get all the fun without any work.

                After a few weeks of the kid being born figure out what you need and buy that. The more shit you buy before the baby is born the bigger of a moron you are. Do you think your grandpa's mom bought him a bunch of random bullshit?

                My wife is 32 weeks pregnant. Only thing we bought is 3 baby books that I read to my baby. Moving into the house we just bought on Tuesday and we will buy a carseat and maybe stroller. Wife works at a day care and her coworker is 34 weeks, she's a moron and has spent hundreds on the most random bullshit. She spent 200 on a baby cream for her unborn child. Do not be like that.

                Talk to your baby everyday and make it used to your voice, give it a cute name before it's born and use that when you talk to it. Your baby can hear you fairly early on. At like 18 weeks I felt mine kick for the first time it's crazy how much they develop in such a short time.

                But seriously dude it's natural, there is nothing to stress about. Don't read bs parenting books, or listen to any baby ads you see. They are just trying to sell you shit you don't need.

                My mom is a foster parent and has literally raised 20+ babies, some came premature and addicted to the drugs the moron mom was using. All they need is food and love. Breast milk is better but don't act like and abusive c**t to your wife and force her to if she can't or it causes her excessive pain. Babies do in fact turn out completely fine from formula, but if you use it DO NOT neglect having the baby have skin to skin contact with you and the mom. Cuddle with your baby naked it's important for bonding.

                holy frickin god-tier advice

                Carseat that goes from car to stroller is great. Bassinet so kid can sleep next to you at night, it's compulsory. Also recommend the books, hard. You can start as early as a couple of weeks - kids love the sound of their parents voices.
                Get some shea cocoa butter to help with stretch marks and get used to that frickin smell. Your wife will be tired as frick constantly - if she is DTF, be thankful and oblige - She will probably sleep after.

                IMPORTANT SHIT: IF PEOPLE GIVE YOU POLYESTER CLOTHING, THANK THEM GRACIOUSLY BUT THROW THAT SHIT AWAY.
                Babies cannot self-regulate their body temperature. Polyester overheats them and is a leading contributor to cot death / SIDS.

                Last things:
                Consider a UV cleaning kit for bottles. We are very tidy people and I frickin hated cleaning the bottles every day (we had 6). The UV kit is easy - rinse bottles with hot water, put in UV - self-cleans, good to go. Oh and a pump kit, depending on how stacked your wife is. My wife went from B to D, I cannot wait to have more kids.

                Dad of 2 boys. Take the "they grow so quick" thing 100% serious. The day will come where your tiny baby is a big fella who wants to go hunting and play football with you. Embrace every second of it.

                If you feel mad or overwhelmed, remember to remind yourself that this kid has no other way to deal with life. He doesn't hate you, he needs you and he's letting you know the only way nature gave him.

                Make any sacrifice to keep getting to the gym. A fat grotesque Dad is a detriment to his son.

                I focused on high-rep close-grip bench and curls because holding a 4+kg / 8lbs baby for 2 hours is tiring as shit.
                Don't frick off to vape, smoke or play vidya. Video games and movies will be around as long as you will - you can play single-player games when they are older. Don't trade time with your kids for ANYTHING.

      This, formula is fricking poison. there is one draw back to breast feeding and it's that if mom goes somewhere for too long the little one freaks the frick out because it's security is gone won't take the bottle screams so hard it's not breathing well, it's very very stressful but worth it. my first kid raised my blood pressure so much your going to have to go into your head and find a way to cope because it's only temporary and they grow up so fricking fast. enjoy the good times you will never get them back frick work frick all the extra bullshit in your life spend every moment you can with that baby

      This is good advice, OP.
      Also,
      >make a list of everything you've been putting off and divide it on two columns: stuff to do before the baby comes, and stuff that you can forget about for two years. You're not getting shit done during the first year of life
      >buy lots of practical clothes. Bodies mostly, shirts and pants just jumble up before one year old. Everyone will gift you cute fancy stuff, but what you'll really want is another batch of plain bodies because all others are already covered in shit and puke. But wait until it's closer to birth, you need an idea of what size it'll be when it's born
      >your wife will REALLY go nuts at times. Anon already said it but it's worth repeating: she's going to turn into a confused toddler at times. Treat her as such, with love, calm, understanding, and a bit of pampering. It'll make both of your lives much easier, and later on you can laugh at it together
      >also have fun with the insanity. My wife started crying because I drew a very cute pig on the mirror while she was showering
      >she might get post natal depression, the baby might scream constantly for months, you might not sleep. Baby's definitely not gonna sleep when you want him to. And you're gonna give him a new diaper only for it to take another shit before you've thrown it away. And it won't even look at you, or smile at you, or anything. Your wife might be deep in post natal depression and blame you, or even want a divorce - convince her it's a phase and to stick around a bit longer, she'll be fine again eventually. Accept that the first 6 months are probably going to be absolutely miserable. Turn on the automatic pilot and just power through. It gets better at about 6 months, and then again at about a year. Then it'll start walking and grabbing stuff and a new era of exhaustion begins, but at least it shows you love too, and your wife should be back to normal
      >avoid mom groups like the plague, and take with heavy amounts of salt anything anyone tells you

        The last point goes double for your wife. Women get brutally bullied by other mothers. Everything gets criticized, every little detail they disagree with means you're the worst mom ever and hate your child. The virtue signaling is through the roof. And no matter what you do, you'll have a group attacking you.
        Make sure your wife stays away from that shit, and actively intervene if some b***h is trying to lecture her. It might feel to you like she's just talking, but your wife is going to feel overwhelmed as frick. And that'll flow back into you and the baby.

        And the big one:
        >enjoy. There's a lot of joy in there too, and you'll welcome every little bit of progress, but you'll also miss every phase you leave behind - forever. Enjoy it while it lasts, no matter how hard it is

    If it's a boy, just don't do something moronic like permitting a shabbos doctor to mutilate his penis, and you'll be fine. The fact that this even needs to be fricking said is pathetic, but that's just where we are right now.

    Congrats, anon. My wife is 4 months pregnant. It's our first child. We're very happy about it though sometimes it gets kinda scary since it's something completely unknown for us. But that's fine I guess.

    Yesterday we found out it's a boy and we're now thinking of a name.
    Enjoy the process, mate. Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming.

    Cheers,

      Having a kid is literally the most natural thing there is don't stress about it. Do not believe any morons telling you to buy stupid shit. You need to buy a carseat and a bassinet. That's it. Let other people buy you clothes and shit. Maybe buy newborn diapers and baby wipes, but really the grandparents and uncles/aunts should buy you this stuff. They get all the fun without any work.

      After a few weeks of the kid being born figure out what you need and buy that. The more shit you buy before the baby is born the bigger of a moron you are. Do you think your grandpa's mom bought him a bunch of random bullshit?

      My wife is 32 weeks pregnant. Only thing we bought is 3 baby books that I read to my baby. Moving into the house we just bought on Tuesday and we will buy a carseat and maybe stroller. Wife works at a day care and her coworker is 34 weeks, she's a moron and has spent hundreds on the most random bullshit. She spent 200 on a baby cream for her unborn child. Do not be like that.

      Talk to your baby everyday and make it used to your voice, give it a cute name before it's born and use that when you talk to it. Your baby can hear you fairly early on. At like 18 weeks I felt mine kick for the first time it's crazy how much they develop in such a short time.

      But seriously dude it's natural, there is nothing to stress about. Don't read bs parenting books, or listen to any baby ads you see. They are just trying to sell you shit you don't need.

      My mom is a foster parent and has literally raised 20+ babies, some came premature and addicted to the drugs the moron mom was using. All they need is food and love. Breast milk is better but don't act like and abusive c**t to your wife and force her to if she can't or it causes her excessive pain. Babies do in fact turn out completely fine from formula, but if you use it DO NOT neglect having the baby have skin to skin contact with you and the mom. Cuddle with your baby naked it's important for bonding.

    Currently nursing my baby as I wright this.

    -Get a nurse midwife. They're a kind of midwife that's in a hospital. They won't try to force your gf into a c section or circumcision, but you're close to doctors in the rare instance something goes wrong.
    -She shouldn't gain more than 35 pounds.
    -She needs to walk every day for as long into the pregnancy as she can.
    -Get her a belly binder to help her uterus shrink down after birth. It's also nice to not feel how weird and wiggly your belly is immediately after.
    -shr should keep taking her prenatal for as long as she's nursing to avoid losing all her hair.
    -dont let the grandparents come over and "help" with the baby by playing with it while your gf does housework or something. She needs to be attached to the baby.
    -dont let anyone kiss the baby. They'll be mad about it, but you'll probably be more mad when they give your baby herpes and it dies

    Dad of 2 boys. Take the "they grow so quick" thing 100% serious. The day will come where your tiny baby is a big fella who wants to go hunting and play football with you. Embrace every second of it.

    If you feel mad or overwhelmed, remember to remind yourself that this kid has no other way to deal with life. He doesn't hate you, he needs you and he's letting you know the only way nature gave him.

    Make any sacrifice to keep getting to the gym. A fat grotesque Dad is a detriment to his son.

    My advice would be don't take on too much advice.
    A lot of times things don't go as planned and it will rarely if ever feel like you're getting things right, so if you've dumped a load of pressure on yourself about how things should be you'll end up miserable fast.
    My gf never produced enough milk to feed our son properly so had to be formula fed, and there were complications in delivery which meant he had to come via an emergency c-section. So pretty much in the first month I felt like I'd failed. But 3 years on I have a perfectly healthy non-autistic son despite everything that was said would happen.
    But even as im typing this I know someone will reply
    >heh just wait a couple of years
    Much like fitness, there is demotivational bullshit everywhere when it comes to discussing parenting.
    Good luck OP

    Your sons gona be better off than 99% of kids. Ad you beeing around as a father and it could end up very well. Tall, smart, handsome, fit and with better knowledge than npc-kids
    My advice: get the kid away from screens! Get it into social situations with other kids outside instead

      guts bro, sorry for you and your mrs.
      It does happen, so make sure both of you are objective about it. It is blameless - make sure there is no resentment. The first trimester is the toughest.. if it happens again, don't be afraid to seek pro medical advice or clinical assistance. It fricking sucks man, there's not much else to say.
