How did you tell your OH you were pregnant?

Found out this morning! Had already told him we were out for this month as had all the symptoms of AF, don't even know why I thought to test I'm only a day late and I'm always a couple of days either side, it was only because I had a weird iron taste in my mouth yesterday. I went straight into the bedroom and said 'fucking hell I'm actually pregnant' then thrust the first pee stick into his hand and went to confirm it with a digital. I can't stop wanting to tell people!! We didn't think we could conceive, I'm over the fucking moon!!! I really need to try and calm down, there's a long way to go yet.

He went to work so I called him and said babe I'm pregnant. He said I'm on the bus (and therefore couldn't react how he wanted to). Very happy. We aren't dramatic people generally.

First time went for a drive and stopped at a special (to us) place and told DH, he burst in to tears (of joy) that ended in mc, he was inconsolable. Second time I just blurted it out, he was very excited and optimistic as lots of people mc once, that ended in mc. Third time I kept it quiet but had to call him when I ended up in hospital, that ended in mc. Fourth one, I told him and neither of us were excited as we knew how it ends, at 13 week scan we finally got very excited and then he left me when I was 8 months pregnant as he never wanted a child
Fifth time my DP of 6 months found me having a panic on the bathroom floor. Sobbing I couldn't go through being left with a baby again. I wanted to terminate but he talking me round and proposed. He then left when I was 7 months pregnant.
My DC are now 12 and 8.

I was working, he came to see me on my lunch break. I was too excited to wait until we got home so I did the test then. I came running out of the toilet and gave him a big hug. So I'm pretty sure he knew I was

He was at work when I had to do the test (1st wee of the day). I text him and asked him to ring me on how next break. That's when I told him (we were ttc so it wasn't a surprise).
Then I also wanted him to be there when I did a test, so even though we knew the answer, when he got home from work, I did the other test in the pack (it was a clearblue digital pack of 2), just so he was there. That was that.

No big reveals here either. I kept him pretty clued up with ovulation tests, fertile days etc. I told him the day I planned to test and walked out of the bathroom both times and just said it was positive straight away.

First time (accident) just blurted it out in the kitchen. He was shocked but lovely about it. Ended in mmc

Second time, bought and wrapped up a little hat and a pair of baby socks and gave them to him with a card. Shocked, worried after the last time, excited. That was DD

Third time, gave him the test on Father's Day with a congrats card. Super excited. Ended in mmc

Fourth time never actually told him - very early mc so ended before I got a chance to

Fifth time presented him with an early scan picture (was about 7w) - he was totally shocked as had had no idea - excited but VERY cautious thanks to our rubbish history. That was DS

Sixth time came downstairs and lobbed the test at him (one of the digi ones so he couldn't mistake the result!) - first thing he was all smiles and then was like 'well we'll just wait and see what happens'. Couldn't get excited, but hopeful. Have had 2 good early scans and have proper 12w scan next week so we'll see.

DH was away with work when I did the test, and was coming home the day before his birthday, so I put the test inside a birthday card and made him open it the second he stepped through the door. Couldn't have kept it from him if he'd been at home!

I rang DH yesterday to tell him about BFP as he was working late. We both agreed we were pleased but too knackered to be anything more!

I just sent a picture of the positive test! I bleed during the first few weeks so would never be confident enough to plan a more exciting announcement.

First time, woke him up at 6am, shaking with disbelief because I needed him to tell me if I was reading the test right. His reaction = shock and excitement.

Second time, whatsapped him a picture of the positive test from the toilets at work. He didn’t respond for ages because he was in a meeting. 😂 His reaction = shock, excitement and concern.

Third time, skipped downstairs waving the stick at him. His reaction = happiness.

Fourth time, didn’t tell him immediately as I was only 9dpo, his dad had died three days earlier, AND we’d had a mmc six weeks before. Ended up blurting it out a week afterwards whilst we were bickering about housework. His reaction = disbelief and anxiety and happiness.

Good luck!
