What next?

Hi all,
I was 6 days late today and so I took 3 (yes 3!) tests. All are positive! I told my husband but he's a bit underwhelmed, he says he just doesn't know whether he can believe it and doesn't know how reliable tests are. Can you recommend any way I can reassure him? And also should I make a Drs appt for them to confirm?
Thanks so much for reading.

Drs in the UK generally will not confirm as tests cost money and are no more accurate than a home pregnancy test. They might want to see you to get you signed up with a midwife though!

It might help your husband if you get a digital test? It reads out 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant'. There are even digital ones that can tell you approx how long since you ovulated and thus 'how pregnant' you are...

To give you an idea:

I always do a digital for dh so he can see it spelt out. It seems to do the trick.
