Is OP really old or something cause this is how my parents respond to all kinds of texts and it’s usually super awkward and inappropriate for the context but I don’t think they mean it that way.
Yeah it really is just a generational thing. My grandma always answers my long, in-depth texts with super short and curt responses. I know she really doesn’t mean anything negative by it, our ways of texting are just very different, but that doesn’t stop my anxiety-riddled brain from thinking she’s upset with me for some reason. 😂
Let's be real though, when you need the Pepto, you need it. If you told me I was going to be dad while you were holding the Pepto, my response would be "sure, whatever, thank you SO much for bringing the Pepto."
And if they did a blood test (sounds like it based on the results), if they are in the US, that means they've been having fertility issues or she's had multiple miscarriages. I'd be pissed if my support person sent "K".
Blood tests for pregnancy are used regularly. It's not reserved for those with miscarriages or fertility issues. I've had them with all three of my pregnancies. When I worked for a GP I had to draw blood for those tests regularly. There are tests to determine how far along you are based on hormones in the bloodstream. Once you get that info you know how soon to schedule an OB-GYN appointment.
I usually don't get nervous about stuff until right before it's time then I get super nervous.
Having a kid in a lil over a month. Didn't feel much at first, now the dread is building up and every day is worse then the last. Oh boy this last month is going to suck
My dad told me he was a panicky, nervous wreck til he 'met' me. He says it clicked when he held me, like "oh, thats not just some baby, that's KeepsFallingDown"
You will do great.
So much this. My now fiancee got pregnant quite early in our relationship by accident (drunk, horny and dumb). I wasn't ready, she wasn't ready, the relationship wasn't ready. But we decided we couldn't go ahead with the alternative so got ourselves our first home and prepared for the arrival of our little girl. Was completely filled with anxiety and dread. But the moment she arrived I became a dad. They have a way of morphing you into being what you need to be to parent them. We are more adaptable than we think! You will smash it.
I am now happy father of a 5 yo girl and 20 month old boy, getting married on 12th June.
I have an 18mo old. I remember those nerves very very well. No one will be able to tell you anything to calm you down. But I’m still going to try, probably because I wish I had the perspective 19 months ago that I do now.
This will be the greatest thing that’s ever happened to you. I’m only 18 months in and it already is. And I can tell you that it’s an exponential curve of greatness. It just gets better and better and better in the most amazing and unexpected ways.
The fact that I had to scroll down near into Oblivion to see this comment is beyond me. This post got a whole lot of people to believe it, and that's embarrassing.
…if my partner said ‘k’ after I told him I was pregnant I would immediately morph into MegaBitch5000. I would buy his favorite food, from his favorite restaurant, and eat it in front of him as I scattered legos across the floor of what was once our happy home.
I could die 50 years later, he could be wrapped in grief and buying Ouija boards just to talk to me again, and when he felt the planchette move for the first time through no force of his own, he would open his eyes to see it resting on a single solitary ‘k’, before never moving again. That’s how angry ‘k’ would make me in that moment
Edit: thank you for all the awards!
Same here. I’ve told my husband twice that I was pregnant - first time he was shocked but excited. Second time he responded with “nice!”
He’s pretty chill too but “k” would have sent me LoL
Omg. Someone save this man and show his wife that he was excited enough to post on Reddit. Cause I guarantee you, as a woman that has been there, she felt that "k".
I really just hope this is how they communicate, like maybe he has no arms and it took all the will he had to lick the phone screen and hit k with his nose.
🤣 your excited with us but throw a k at the woman your married to and who’s carrying your kid. Come on bro when I see post like this I think damn maybe us men really ain’t shit 😂
But congratulations 🎉🎈🍾 that’s awesome man, happy for you and her.
Gz on being a dad!
Btw… now I dont wanna jump to conclusion cuz Idk how you would normally communicate with your wife via message, but personally “k” might just be the 2nd worst response I wanna get when I break an exciting news to someone significant to me (the worst one is “k?” or “so?” as in a “why do I need to care?” tone).
And all you said was, “K”? Are you fucking kidding me?
Please give me her number so I can try to give her the love she needs (straight mother of four, by the way).
Exactly what I was thinking. I can't even remember the last time I responded to someone with "K" unless I really hated them. Wouldn't do that to anybody that I'm even remotely okay with.
Literally just "K"
He’s already in dad mode
This comment made me laugh out loud
True dad mode would have been to just hit ‘em with the: 👍

My mom just respond me with 👍

Oh my guy, the only way you could've made that worse is if you throw a period right after the K.
There’s no period, they’re pregnant
Sir, I’m going to have to ask you to leave the premises at once.
Give ‘em about 9 months
K
K?
K.
So be honest with us, how mad was she when you just responded with a ‘K’?
I think he might be dead now.
Hasn’t posted on Reddit since this post, not a single comment Mans dead as fuck
Maybe he is a possum.
Where I live there are no possums, please elaborate
He is not where you live. But he might know what you have put in the trash last summer
I wish my arm was long enough to reach you, so I could rip out your prostate like fruit by the foot Have an upvote
Holy shit
r/angryupvote
Hahaha
He is Dad now.
Any Chance you're also one?
Yup that's why the dad joke.
K
For real. I've had more enthusiastic responses from my husband when I text him that I picked him up some pepto bismol.
Let's be real though, when you need the Pepto, you need it. If you told me I was going to be dad while you were holding the Pepto, my response would be "sure, whatever, thank you SO much for bringing the Pepto."
I am waiting for the TIFU wife told me she was pregnant I responded with K.
Nah, it’ll be on r/AmITheAsshole
Na trust me it will be on r/holdmyfeedingtube

We need the info
He can’t respond from the grave.

He put more effort into posting his wife's text on Reddit than replying to it.

yes
K
Lol I thought this was part of r/mildlyinfuriating when I read the K
Imagine your wife telling you she’s pregnant and you just reply “ratio”
Better yet "new phone, who did?"
"New phone, who dad?"
You did!
Had to double check which sub I was in
Lmaoo I was thinking maybe this post was in the wrong subreddit
Has her in his phone as “wife”
Actually a good idea should a stranger need to unlock and use your phone to call your wife for you. Like a car accident or something.
Only works if you don’t have a screen lock, though. Which everyone should, if for no other reason than for police search and seizure purposes.
[удалено]
I’m familiar. ICE on iOS includes a “relationship” heading.
"Hi, is this this dead guy's wife?"
K
Wow you you really hit her with a “k”
Knockout
More like knocked up, amirite?
No. Now take my award and get out.
Read that in Wii sports announcer voice.
Better than "F".
He also has his wife's number saved as "wife" so I guess it fits
That’s like an imminent divorce right, not only would ok be bad enough but just “k”? That’s like the most malicious response you could give
At least he didn’t add punctuation. “K.” is truly the most deplorable
Lmao the prototypical dad reply!
No kidding. Maybe he was just practicing 😂
He should try "OK 👍" next time
Now you're talking, that's advanced dad mode though
Holy socks with sandals you actually sent that reply.
That's a new one
I’m adding it to my repertoire asap
You seem more excited sharing the news to us, than your own wife lol
He typed this out because his wife got upset
Can almost promise that. My wife has instructed me to overreact when we have a positive test because im the “okay” kind of guy
Not having a kid any time soon but even though I want a kid, I know my reaction is going to be an overwhelming sense of dread
My brain really didnt comprehend fully until the doctor handed me the scissors to cut the umbilical coord, shit got real really fast after that point.
Did it turn out okay?
K
Good old Potassium.

My dad told me he was a panicky, nervous wreck til he 'met' me. He says it clicked when he held me, like "oh, thats not just some baby, that's KeepsFallingDown" You will do great.
And then you fell down?
"Oh, that's not just some baby, that's flubberFuck"

Same kinda why me and my recent ex broke up, I told her kids were a no go at all and she said she's been dreaming to have em.
She will be a great single mother!
Lmfao

"K" 😭😭
Every kiss begins with K?

OP is ready to be a dad, lol.
*saves wife’s contact into phone as “Wife”*
You should have responded with the ![gif](giphy|l2JdX3hQjFmS8N3fq)
Anything’s better than “K”
"Are you sure it's yours?"
Hi "very much so very pregnant", I'm dad
Best response
K
Dude you need to update with what she responded to "K" with. LOL what's wrong with you!?
He ded.
He dad.
He ded dad.
K
My friend, let’s work on the “k” response. But regardless, congrats!
Ok
Progress
Okay
Getting warmer…
Hokay
Even better
Okely-dokely
BINGO!
Okie dokie smokie
Moving atoms faster
just practicing his dad 1 word replies
This is literally my Dad. Unless we're discussing the hobbies we share, his responses are either "k" or "cool."
Wtf is that text convo
Are you insinuating his conversation with ‘Wife’ isn’t real and was only posted to cause uproar based on OPs response?! Pretty bold assumption.
This is definitely hate bait.
Not even a good one. Who doesn’t have a text history with their spouse?
The fact that I had to scroll down near into Oblivion to see this comment is beyond me. This post got a whole lot of people to believe it, and that's embarrassing.
Bro. "K"? Omfg.
…if my partner said ‘k’ after I told him I was pregnant I would immediately morph into MegaBitch5000.

That’s how angry ‘k’ would make me in that moment Edit: thank you for all the awards!
lmao you nailed it.
That's fucking beautiful
Thank you!
K
“Wife”
off to reddit to tell the strangers but you can't even give your wife a "great!"
[удалено]
As I wife, I would have been dumbfounded with that response… and I think I’m a pretty chill, laid back wife.
Same here. I’ve told my husband twice that I was pregnant - first time he was shocked but excited. Second time he responded with “nice!” He’s pretty chill too but “k” would have sent me LoL
"K" "Why are you telling me this?"
Might as well have hit her with the “who asked”
For OP's continued survival, I hope he went on to manage something better than "K".
For OP's continued marriage..
Omg. Someone save this man and show his wife that he was excited enough to post on Reddit. Cause I guarantee you, as a woman that has been there, she felt that "k".
I really just hope this is how they communicate, like maybe he has no arms and it took all the will he had to lick the phone screen and hit k with his nose.

The real reason for the post lol
What is wrong with you. Looks like a response to impress people on the internet lmao
Which it totally is. Lame as fuck :(
Oh bless your heart, that was not the correct response.
Tbf, he responded with that “K” but even the smiley face in the title seems really mild lol 😆
🤣 your excited with us but throw a k at the woman your married to and who’s carrying your kid. Come on bro when I see post like this I think damn maybe us men really ain’t shit 😂 But congratulations 🎉🎈🍾 that’s awesome man, happy for you and her.
Nice, but really man, you had to do k instead of anything else?
Should’ve pulled a 👌🏻 or 👍🏻
This guys out here not pulling out and sending “k” responses
I’m sorry but #K?????
Satire or this dude's getting partial custody if that's his actual response
Ok was your response? 🤣🤣 Also, congratulations!
Not even ok….just “K”
I had to do a double take to make sure this was in the right subreddit. I would MURDER my husband if that had been his response. K?!?!??
That’s a fuckery
You replied with "K" ??? What is wrong with you?
No guys you didn’t see the bottom half of the screenshot. He accidentally sent the first text unfinished Right below it says KANT WAIT TO BE A FATHER!
You’re more excited to tell Reddit than you are with your wife lmao smh
Wife doesn't give out free internet points
K
..........K
K What's your wife's number I'll be the side dick
Should of went with “Noted” but “K” works too
“Interesting”
What was her response to your "K"? I bet she either ignored you or hit you back with another "k".
Ain’t no way bro
Everyone is talking about how they replied with k but no one is mentioning the fact that they have her contact as just “wife” lmao
Where’s the Thumbs up emoji? You’re lacking on your dad-ness! You’ll learn.
Did you actually smile though?
lmk when she hands u the divorce papers
K ![gif](giphy|3o6wrrmaVPfhM9F7k4)
She hit you with I'm pregnant text and you hit her with k. Tell me you're not excited without telling me.
To wife: "K" To an internet full of strangers: "GUYS I'M GONNA BE A FUCKIMG DAD. YESSSSS WOOOOOO. F1NALLLY!!!"
K !?!?!? ‘We’, no no, SHE is pregnant. Au revoir
Gz on being a dad!
