We have been trying for 8 months. I wasn't sure it would happen because DP has an undescended testicle.

Just POAS because I relised I was due on monday just gone (almost forgot we were trying) and it was positive.

I'm feeling a bit numb...no emotion. Am I in shock? Im 30 in July and I've never been pregnant before. I have ASD so not sure I've done the right thing.

I haven't told DP...he is in work and I start in an hour not getting home until gone 10....

How can I concentrate?

Congratulations!!

Spend the next few hours dreaming up creative ways to tell him!

YoniIfYouSayPlease · 24/04/2013 15:36

I'm petrified he is gonna have changed his mind...I may spend too much time here and have a warped view of his reaction.

Congrats!!

YouDontWinFriendsWithSalad · 24/04/2013 15:41

If you've been trying for that long hopefully he'll have come round to the idea, but just in case, don't expect him to jump up and down, give him some time to get used to it. You say you are numb now, he might be the same at first.

My DP was really shell shocked but hugged me and said it was fantastic etc, but then didn't mention it for weeks and looked a little panicked whenever I mentioned the baby. He just needed time to get his head around it. He fell in love with DD at first sight and is now looking forward to the next one.

Congratulations! Mild panic is normal It will seem more real when you've told DP!

NotAQueef · 24/04/2013 15:44

Congratulations! How exciting
Do you want to tell him face to face? could you send him a picture of the test or call him at work if you can't wait

YoniIfYouSayPlease · 24/04/2013 15:52

He is a techophone...his phone doesn't do pictures and I want to tell hime to his face.

I told him last night I was late but we had a friend over so I only mentioned it very quickly when we were alone.

I feel bad because the kitchen is a shit tip and I've been to distracted to clean it.

He will be home before I finish work and he'll have to come home to it and I promised last night I'd do it. I think I'd be less freaked about telling him if I'd managed to clean up!

I knew I'd get a BFP just after my free alton towers sun offer tickets turned up...lol

YoniIfYouSayPlease · 24/04/2013 15:53

Right I start in 8 minutes...better get going!

I'll be back later to update on DP....

NotAQueef · 24/04/2013 15:59

Good luck, hope it all goes well and that you manage to get some work done.
I know the first time I went to work after getting a BFP I spent the whole time saying "I'm pregant" over and over again in my head

RJM17 · 24/04/2013 16:30

Good luck and congrats!! X

SeriousStuff · 24/04/2013 18:09

How wonderful! Congratulations. It's completely normal to be a bit shell-shocked, even when you are trying. I certainly was!

I wanted to see my DH face to face to tell him but I couldn't wait and I texted him.

Believe me, once you tell him he won't notice the state of the kitchen!

YoniIfYouSayPlease · 24/04/2013 18:44

I just saw him on my break...he was driving past....I couldn't not tell him when he stopped to say hello... He just smiled and said 'awesome' kissed me and then had to drive away again!

He didn't seem arsed about the kitchen...which he had seen already....aww...much happier now.

OP posts:

Apparentlychilled · 24/04/2013 18:45

congratulations! and so pleased that he was pleased too.

YoniIfYouSayPlease · 24/04/2013 23:23

Home and had a nice long conversation with DP about everything...it's sunk in a bit now and I'm SCARED! So much has to change.

OP posts:

Casmama · 24/04/2013 23:29

I don't know anyone who didn't feel scared when they found out they were pregnant- it passes and excitement takes over. Congratulations!

YoniIfYouSayPlease · 25/04/2013 00:44

I keep getting dull cramps...like I'm going to come on? Is this normal?

OP posts:

YouDontWinFriendsWithSalad · 25/04/2013 01:00

Yes it's normal, well, I had them in both my pregnancies anyway.

Glad your DP was pleased :)

YoniIfYouSayPlease · 25/04/2013 01:12

Aww, thanks everyone.

He is quite excited...he doesn't have to give birth I suppose. I'm scared something will go wrong...plenty of time to worry about birth.

DP is getting out the cotton wool to wrap me in as we speak.

OP posts:

ChippingInLovesSpring · 25/04/2013 01:13

Congratulations!!! I'm

Glad he wasn't fussed about the kitchen, bodes well for when you have a newborn!!

What has to change??

ChippingInLovesSpring · 25/04/2013 01:13

He sounds lovely :)

YoniIfYouSayPlease · 25/04/2013 01:31

Where our money goes mainly....and where we live....not really ideal. But we new this when we started trying.

OP posts:

YoniIfYouSayPlease · 25/04/2013 01:36

I have ASD and a couple of weeks ago went uber apsie one night and stayed up all night creating the quite complex 10 year master plan budget.

DP reckons it was subconscious early nesting bless.
