Am I going crazy?!
We have been trying to conceive for 4 years naturally! We have recently been taking pregnacare and wellman tablets. This was last ovulation DH would of been here for as he's going on deployment with army :(

CAN I SEE LINE EYES? it's mainly in the bigger pregnancy test as I done two at the same time. Photo was taken 3 minutes after I tested. This would make his 6 month deployment so much easier if I was pregnant!

Congratulations OP what amazing news for you both after 4 years !

Shazzy2013x · 03/11/2018 15:54

No he doesn't know about tests from lastnight. I done them in my mums house

Maybe if I kept it a secret to myself and went for a private scan alone....I could Skype him and show him the scan! 💕💕💕💕

Yeah you could wait for your dating scan or go private (there's always deals on Groupon for them) 😀 ah he'll be thrilled, good luck to you x

I personally would keep quiet until I had a scan at 12 weeks and then show him it on skype. I wouldn’t tell anyone apart from maybe my mum, so that he stills knows first

Congrats OP

TokenGinger · 03/11/2018 17:09

I would also keep quiet until 12 weeks. So many things can happen between then and now. If something happened (God forbid) and he isn't there to support you, it'll break him. Imagine how incredible it'll be to take a video of the scan and show him that way xxx

Not to everyone's taste but this military wife only revealed it when he got home

This post is so many things!! Congratulations!! What a beautiful surprise!! It also gives hope to many - after four years it's happened!! Would love to hear a little more about your lifestyle changes/vitamins etc please cx

allupsidedown · 03/11/2018 22:55

Congratulations! That is lovely! I'd tell him when you next speak to him. I hope you can Skype when you go for a scan that would be lovely. Xx

PennyMordauntsLadyBrain · 03/11/2018 23:03

Congratulations! What a lively thread!

I’d tell him- I couldn’t hold my own water, and DH would be disappointed if I’d shouldered the worry and anxiety of early pregnancy on my own.

He could potentially feel quite disconnected from the pregnancy anyway, and surprising him with a 12 week scan gives him ~8 weeks less to let it sink in!

MyKingdomForBrie · 03/11/2018 23:10

I'd wait to tell him, but you'll need to tell some of your support network over here. Congratulations!!!

VTechnophobe · 03/11/2018 23:39

I'd tell him asap. My DH would have been heartbroken if he'd not known from the start. Also, and as someone who has struggled I mean this with kindness, if something isn't going to plan you will need his support from afar. It takes 2 to make a baby and in a loving relationship you both should get the chance to be there for each other even if your situation means you physically can't be together.

smurfy2015 · 04/11/2018 05:18

Congratulations - definitely if he can be first to know would be great but can understand the need to tell someone, this is a journey for both of you, it took 2 of you to start it and going forward its a journey you share, even if from afar for a while, he will be back for birth to support you and going forwards to bring your child up together, congrats again.
