how did you tell....

[Lexi_jaine]

the father of your baby you were pregnant? how did he react?

i'm really nervous about telling my partner

 

[Youngling]

Tell him as soon as possible. Obviously he is going to be very shocked at first but hopefully he will come around.
My OH was so good about it all. But it depends on what type of person he is to how he will react.
Ul feel much better once u have told him, will be a weight off of ur shoulders.
Hope it all goes well

I had told him before I took the pregnancy test that I was feeling off., my period was late, and we may need to prepare for the "worst" so to speak (not that our baby is a bad thing, but it wasn't planned!).

I took a normal line test at home and got a faint positive. He was at college so I called him, told him, and asked him to bring home a digital test.

He brought a digital test and waited with me while it turned to "Pregnant"!

He took it well. He was most nervous about telling his parents. We were both nervous of course.

I'd certainly tell him as soon as possible and expect him to need a bit to fully process it.

I told moe that it was negative because the line was so faint. And then we had to take another one a few days later and I came out and was like "I was wrong..I'm pregnant." he said "are u sure?" I then proceeded to hand him 5 positive pregnancy tests. Lol.

It'd probably be best to just come out and tell him.

 

[Yazz_n_bump]

I told him I was late by text one night lol! Luckily we had been together for 2 yearss before hand and he's my best friend anyway lol.
He told me to take a test which I did, around the 8 week mark and low and behold it was postivite! I saw him the next morning as I was in shock as we had lost a baby 3 months before hand, and weren't trying for anymore at that point!
He was happy after the shock wore off, and let me make up my mind on what I wanted to do. Now we are really happy together and so excited for bubs!

i'm going to tell him when he gets home from work at 4am.....4 hours to go....don't think i'll be sleeping tonight

 

[shimmy]

Good luck, im sure it will be ok . Just be calm about it and dont expect a full blown convo right away he might need a bit of time to himself. Dont get worked up about this, guys are just different to us. xxx

 

[faolan5109]

I told as soon as I thought I was, took the test and there I was pregnant. He did not say much but took it well.

Good luck man! XX

 

[aafscsweetie]

Well my OH was with me when I took the tests and all that. So I don't know what to say, other than to just breathe and tell him as soon as possible!

 

[babytime1992]

Don't do what I did! I sent him a picture of a digital test that said "pregnant". While he was at work...haha not a good idea.

But just be upfront about it and give him a little bit of time to let it register

 

[amygwen]

My FOB was with me when I took a test. I was constantly having pregnancy scares so he thought it was just another scare, but I told him to look at the test before me and his face just dropped when he saw the 'pregnant' sign on it. So, I didn't really have to do much telling, plus we just knew already so..

The best advice I can give you is to tell him ASAP. It's really important he knows so he can be there for you and show his support. Plus it's one less worry for you to have to tell him! It's definitely scary, but it's just as much of a baby to you as it is to him, so it's important he knows soon.

we were TTC but had broken up for a couple days as we got in a rather large fight. i called him and told him and he met me in person and told me i ABSOLUTELY had to have an abortion and then proceeded to break up with me.

but that's only because he was cheating on me the whole time and i was cramping his style haha.

 

[Burchy314]

Me and my OH kinda knew before we even took the test. We just had the feeling. So I had him go buy me 4 pregnancy tests haha and I took them and they all came out positive. I showed him at the same time I was looking. He just smiled and hugged me. He was so happy. We were just nervous about telling our parents.

So like everyone else said, just straight up tell him right away.

 

[Lexi_jaine]

so i fell asleep and was having a weird dream and he got home early lent over and kissed me and i woke up and punched him in the nose oops! (he usually calls to say he's on his way home so i thought he was some strange intruder poor guy, not the best way to start out, but hey at least i know i can defend myself to intruders lol

so, i heated up his dinner and told him when he's ready we need to talk. when he was ready i sat down, opened my mouth and burst into tears. first thing he did was ask me if i or anyone was dying. when i said no he hugged me and said not much could be worse ten that and whatever it is we can work through it.

after i calmed myself down i pretty much just blurted it out. he was shocked( i was on implannon and found out im pregnant after a dr visit bcause i've been sick for weeks)

after about 5 minutes he started looking at me weird just staring. when i asked what he was staring at h said..
"you really are beautiful tonight Lex" (wtf! i'm wearing his tshirt and a pair of undies, bed head, no make up and puffy sleep/crying face)
i laughted at him and he pulled me onto his lap and said "seriously, you're beautiful, we can deal with this, we wanted kids eventually so, we just push it all forward a bit, no big deal"

so he knows. i have the most amazing man in the world.

now he's walking around being gross saying he has super sperm lol

 

[Burchy314]

Haha awww he sounds so sweet! I am glad everything is working out and he knows! Also I am glad you can defend yourself haha! That was pretty funny. Anyways I wish you guys the best and I hope you have a happy and healthy 9 months!

 

[amygwen]

Aww i'm glad your OH took it so well! Yayyyyyy glad it's over now! Now you both can enjoy the pregnancy

 

[Lexi_jaine]

i think it helps that he's quite a bit older so at that age they say is 'normal' (hate that word) to settle down and want kids

 

[aubreee]

awww that went well!!
hope you have a happy pregnancy!

 

[Burchy314]

i think it helps that he's quite a bit older so at that age they say is 'normal' (hate that word) to settle down and want kids

How old is he?

Do you know how you are going to tell your parents?

 

[Lexi_jaine]

he's 26.

well i don't see my parents so don't have to tell them, they wanted nothing to do with me when i first started seeing OH, kicked me out as i was "not abiding by Gods plans for my life"

and will tell his parents after the dating scan, being on inplannon we have no idea how pregnant i am.
