How to tell husband?! This wasn't in life plan!

Long story short, I found out I am pregnant! We have always known we would have children, but were specifically waiting for another year, as hubby is just about to set up his own business, which of course is going to be stressful.

I was on the pill, so this is a huge shock, and I'm so worried about hubby's reaction - any tips please ladies?!

I am sure he will be thrilled eventually, but this really wasn't planned at all, so freaking out....!

If it's going to be a big shock; I wouldn't do anything fancy. Just tell him you took a test and you're pregnant. He's got enough to get his head around without a fancy announcement too.

Congratulations

I agree with not bothering with silly fancy announcements. Just say you took a test and it's positive. And see what he says. I'm sure it will be fine.
