How did everyone's OH react?

[MummyNicole]

Just wondering how everyone else's OH reacted to their pregnancy.

Personally mine wasn't planned and it came as a very big shock and I was worried about telling my boyfriend and he was not happy at all! He didn't speak to me for 4 days while he cleared his head And then it got a little better when he found out i was already 12weeks! i was so upset. Everything is fine now and he's coming round to the idea. I think it's nice to hear everyone else's experience!!!! Xx

First pregnany, my DH was 3000 miles away, as was a marine, and had to.go back after leave. I text him the picture to which he evidently yelled in the middle of a ceremony, when he was supposed to be in a salute, "omfg". Lol, but was fine when he called me. We sadly miscsrried that pregnancy.
Second was planned. He hugged me,and was excited.
This pregnancy was a surprise. He wasnt happy what so ever, and wanted me to have an "a". He got over it and is.now ecstatic!

At first, he was just short of mortified. But, after a day or two he came round and was ecstatic and he is waiting on me hand and foot making plans for the future. I was gutted at his initial reaction.

My OH was acctualy really exited about it (probably more than I was) I think without him I would of gone completley crazy, but him being calm has kept me calm

Mine was nervous, and when I first told him (about an hour after I'd found out) I was sobbing my eyes out and didn't even have to say anything- he just knew. He held me for the rest of the day and night and told me over and over again that it was going to be okay and that we'd get through it. The next day he was already talking about being a dad, and everything he was going to do for our baby. I feel like I got really lucky.

Of course, his ex (the only other girl he's slept with other than me) got pregnant when they were together, got an "a" and didn't tell him until 3 months later. He was devistated. To make the situation more crushing, about three weeks after she told him, she broke up with him and told him she'd slept with another guy, was pregnant and was keeping this baby because the guy had more money, and was "more attractive" than him. OH had told me this a couple weeks after we started dating and I could never get it out of my head. My birth control coincidentally failed 3 months after we'd been dating, and now we're expecting our little man.

My OH just shrugged it off and acted like he didnt care. Eventually he started drifting away andtelling ne he didn't want any thing to do with me or baby and he didn't want a baby.
I knew he was just scared. Then he was ovoverjoyed with LO.
:3

Well this pregnancy was planned, so he was pretty excited although a bit nervous because my other two have ended in miscarriages. My first pregnancy was a surprise, though, and although he freaked out a little bit at first it didn't take long for him to be happy about it.

Alex was completely shocked. We've been married since January, but we weren't thinking kids, at all. At first, he just stood there, staring at me, and took him a few hours to voice his thoughts. But he always believed that "things happen when they're supposed to happen", so he was excited. Still very worried, but happy.

 

[LavaPanda]

Omg mine had a near bloody melt down- Not joking, the end of the world had come.
I mean I was pretty shocked, I fainted but came round in a matter of hours. Danny however, still coming round to the idea. His Mum and Dad however are not helping AT ALL and keep giving him horror stories and scenarios right left and centre- to which then leaves me to put his mind at ease. But I think when he realises everythings going to be okay and his life hasn't come to an end I hope he'll be happy.

 

[blamesydney]

FOB left me the moment we found out. x

 

[ClairAye]

I told my OH I think I might be and he said no matter what I chose he'll stand by me, we'd only been together for about 2 weeks when we found out, after the doctors when I said I was keeping it he hugged me and was like 'Omg we're going to be parents!!' Can't believe he took it so well!

My first pregnancy, OH wasn't happy at all. He didn't want the baby whatsoever, and it wasn't until a few weeks later he really came around and actually got pretty excited. Sadly, that pregnancy ended in miscarriage - and this one was a complete surprise as well. I'd told OH immediately I thought I was pregnant, but he kinda shrugged it off because my period was never on time. We went to Walmart the next day, though, and I took the pregnancy test while he was waiting in the other room. As soon as I walked back in to the bedroom I burst into tears, and he just held me and told me everything was going to be okay. He's been such a huge help and definitely a shoulder to lean on, and I think he's even more excited than I am!

Our pregnancy was very much planned, a few days before we found out he kept making jokes saying he thought I was pregnant. When I told him that I was he couldn't hold back his excitement! He didn't seem nervous at all.

With my first pregnancy, I was so freaked out to tell OH that I waited a week, and built up the courage to tell him via FB (I know how immature of me :/) but he was so reassuring and supportive, took awhile to warm up to the idea but when he finally did, sadly we lost our miracle This time I didn't even have the faintest clue of the possibility I was pregnant, OH said he had this 'feeling' and I should take a test. So I did and we both looked at it at the same time, and his reply is "Oh hun" and kinda shook his head, with a little smile though, and has been getting more and more excited with every day. I consider myself lucky, and i'm sorry for all you strong mummies that haven't had the support you've deserved xo

Me and my man sort of suspected that I was for a couple of weeks but it took us a while to get the confidence to buy a test lol. I took the test without tellling him I was going to and then walked into the bedroom in shock. He came upstairs to see what I was doing, saw my face and was like "whats up with you ?" .. I snapped at him and said "what do you think?".. the colour drained from his face lol but he came over, kissed my forehead then just held me and stroked my hair and told me everything would be ok. Said as long as we have each other we can get through anything . Hes been great ever since and puts up with so much shit from me. Im so lucky to have him.

I thought i was pregnant when i missed my period.. I told him right away that i thought i could be.. We thought we would wait it out a few days to see if af would come, but NOPE.
I felt really weird, i can't explain it.. Just different?
So i already pretty much knew i was, bought a clearblue a few days later and positive came up in like 15 seconds.
I went to our room and showed him and he just hugged me, he's so happy to be a daddy

That sounds so perfect!
Its awesome he didn't leave you. Thats what shows you you have a good man.

For us it was a "were fairly sure cause im fairly regular" kind of thing, and i took the test while he was sitting in my room and i walked out and showed him and we just kinda stared at it together. AFter like 20 minutes of me sitting there with my head on his shoulder, he kinda snapped out of it and we started figuring out what to do. Were both kind of planners so we both kinda felt the need to control this surprise. and he was a bit hesitant at first thinking we should go adoption (Which was never really in the cards for me), but now Sawyer has him wrapped around her finger and ive never seen a father love his daughter more.

Well I was on the pill last year and in November we had a scare that turned out to be a baby! My OH was over the moon, in fact he knew a week before I did (he knows my body better than me) but sadly we lost it. It gutted us both so we kind of decided to stop BC and just let everything happen, as we're financially stable, I'm in uni, and we have lived together for a year and have been dating for 3 years on the 28th of this month . This time round I was a day late and decided ill take a test for the sake of it, really not expecting a positive but what do you know the pregnant line came up before the control line! He was at work when I took the test so I texted him saying I have a surprise for him when he gets home and I showed him that afternoon, he started happy dancing so I'm lucky to have him
