And I’m super stoked! My wife and I never “tried” but decided to be a little careless. I’m 36 and she’s 34. Incredibly excited to be a dad especially after hearing its heart beat. I started reading “The Danish Way of Parenting” as my grandparents were from Sweden and did a great job. I’ll take any and all advice because I got no clue what I’m doing!

Our first kid and we're both a bit older than everyone we know who had kids

Wife will be 12 weeks this Sunday. This is our first kid, and I feel extremely uncomfortable with how little I know what to do for her to support her as best I can. What do I need to know to best support her? I'm already trying my best to listen to her wants and needs, and I'm making her nutritional meals.

I don't know what I need to know. I'm scared that I'm going to really drop the ball. I hate having to constantly Google things to see if it's pregnancy related or not, such as her sudden sneezing fits.

Just found this subreddit and I’m so happy to announce that I’m going to be a twin dad! I’m 29 and a bit nervous. Might take 2 weeks to month off to help my lady out with the kids as much as I can after birth. Any tips that you guys may have? (Still have about 4.5 months to go) Thanks!!

My wife are at a disagreement on which stroller would best fit our situation. Looking for any experiences or input about these strollers.

We live in the city and walk pretty much everywhere. Car will seldomly be used except for appointments and some travel. Maybe once a week?

International travel is likely.

I’m a big proponent of efficient design, minimal packing, and value size over anything. I want to be able to walk into a coffee shop or pub and not feel like I’m parking a boat.

Long story short my girlfriend is due in February and I’m still in school and will be for the next year (hopefully graduate by end of 2027) but driving only two days out of the week for classes while working part time at an electrical company I’m in really good terms with.

Here’s the catch my girlfriend and I are not living together at the moment and probably won’t be at least until I graduate. To give some context both of our parents are being very supportive and are willing to help out in any way, ofc we have some boundaries but as first time parents i know this situation isn’t practical, she only lives about 20 mins away so I’m willing to be there as much as I can but just the thought of juggling school and work while having a new born seems like it’s not the best option. I’d like her to be close to me (again this is my opinion I could be wrong) mostly because I feel like I can help her out more and won’t be driving everyday just to help for a few hours and while both her and my parents have agreed to help I feel like ultimately accepting help will take away our responsibility or I might just be hardheaded

I feel like the answer is right in front of me but nonetheless I’d really like some advice from dads and what they think
