About a month ago my wife and I started trying to have a baby. Well, last night we found out that she is pregnant! We are so psyched! I doubt any of you guys will care but I just wanna share the good news.

Congratulations. Kids are awesome.

Everyone will want to give you masses of advice and often the most vocal people are those who had bad birth experiences.. try not to let them get to you.  All that really matters is to be relaxed about it. Just try to enjoy it all...

Congrats.

All this talk about wanting a baby and shit at 22-23, fuuuuuuck thaaaaat! Couldn't deal with anything like that for the next 5 years or so (i'm 24 now), rather enjoy myself before i have to stop and buy nappies.

The thing is, that when you are in your mid 30s or whenever with kids you will wish you had them earlier because they are so much fun... Changing nappies etc really isnt a big deal...

Congrats and good luck!

Congratulations, kids are rad.

I'm almost 23, and there is no way I have the time or money for a child right now.  I'm still in school ferchristsakes.

I'm getting ready to turn 23 myself in the near future, and figure that kids are out of the plan for at least 3-4 more years or so.

I have 5 nieces/nephews aged 4 or below, so I definitely can appreciate the little buggers and how awesome they are; I just need a few more years to get my shit together and actually have the time and money to properly spend with/on a child.

23 and wanting kids? Steady on mate! Not a chance like.

Being a dad is fun, you get to play with toys again.

My second baby was born saturday. We have a little boy and a girl now so we're stopping there. The first birth experience was very traumatic. The hospital messed up and had to get a cesarian. The second was a all natural home birth and it felt like that is the way babies should be born.

I can see myself being a terrible father, I would probably just fuck with them and teach them the alphabet backwards and that red means go and green means stop. I probably wouldn't have kids very long.

[The Jawa]

Looks like you have to buy another bike soon.

[Guiltyblade]

THats rad as hell man. Sometimes I think I want a kid cause they seem fun as fuck. Relive you life you know, then sometimes I think I need to wait and live my life. I'm only 26 going on 27 soon. Still got time ya know!

One kid's easy, assume you have supportive parents and people youd trust to look after it? Provided you do, you can still keep your social life alive and it wont change much.

Dont be tempted to have any more...

Impressed that you went with a home birth after a C section... Both ours were born at home too, its the way it should be, hospital is for ill/injured people....

I was just wondering, I want a kid around 22-ish. I don't want to be the old fart Dad.

I used to think that way. Now I couldn't imagine having a kid.

I mean not to harsh on anyone with kids but at my age, the way I conduct myself, a kid would completely negate my way of living. I enjoy going out drinking and hanging around being dumb far too much to have a kid.

Now that I've passed the age where I anticipated a kid being a part of my life I couldn't imagine giving up what I've got for a child. Too much fun exchanged for too much responsibility.
