Hey, OP here! This is my first ever HN post- I appreciate the warm reception.
A couple hours after posting this on my site, I found this incredible vid of a woman telling her partner she’s pregnant. Incredibly heartfelt, and only 16 views https://youtu.be/refKFdcojlE?si=l-PssLVYmmOPjjjA https://youtu.be/refKFdcojlE?si=l-PssLVYmmOPjjjA
It was posted over 10 years ago. I wonder if the family even knows that this video still exists.
- theandrewbailey 2y ago> Mar 14, 2014 That kid will be 10 soon.
- pavlov 2y agoEleven in four months?
- meowster 2y agoPresumably there are still about 9 months to go in that pregnancy before the child is born.
- lukan 2y agoI always thought, that would make way more sense. But a bit harder to find exact dates probably ..
- kelnos 2y agoAssuming it takes someone roughly 4-6 weeks to realize they are pregnant, the child was probably born in or around November 2014, and will be turning 10 in the next couple weeks. I suppose the woman filming the video could have taken much longer to realize (unlikely, but possible), or chose to wait to tell the father until several months later (also unlikely, but possible), but either way, the kid is turning 10 now-ish, not 11. It's also possible that this video was posted well after it was taken, in which case we can't say much about the age of the kid, except that it likely happened before this "Share to YouTube" functionality was removed from iOS.
- theandrewbailey 2y agoOnly if your culture measures age from conception instead of birth.
- dylan604 2y agothis is you why can't reuse calendars
- meowster 2y agoI don't understand your comment. (By the way, presumably there are still about 9 months to go in that pregnancy before the child is born.)
- sebastiennight 2y agoIn Korean age, this kid is 11 already and about to turn 12!
- urbandw311er 2y agoWhy does he walk off at the end? Did he still not believe her do you think?
- adriand 2y agoHe also said, "My heart just dropped". That's a curious thing to say.
- averageRoyalty 2y agoI guess as in 'dropped a beat'. The news was so surprising his heart stopped momentarily.
- pbhjpbhj 2y agoIt's the opposite, usually. "My heart dropped" is a sense of doom, foreboding, a realisation of oncoming cataclysm. Like 'as I saw the second plane come into view my heart dropped'. Of course, people don't use language in a consistent way, and people will use terms thinking they mean e.g. their antonym. It's probably a common initial reaction to learning of impending parenthood. Life will never be the same. Initially one might only see the looming challenge of the mountain to climb.
- JawsOfALion 2y agoI was going to explain the way i saw it, but i erased it and decided it's probably best not to give my thoughts in case he or someone in his life came across the comments out of respect.
- aricooperdavis 2y agoThe first one I clicked on was similarly heartwarming - it's just a video of an ultrasound, zooming in on the heartbeat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_N4rAauRvU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_N4rAauRvU
