How do you plan to tell your other half?

[TFC90]

Thought it would be fun to share pregnancy announcement ideas! When you get your BFP, how do you plan to tell your other half? And your family and friends?

I've made this little neckerchief for our 5 month old miniature schnauzer to wear 😍

How about you?

Very sweet. I've bought a book called 'Dude, you're gonna be a dad' and a personalised baby grow with 'Baby Surname' on it. I'll either put them in a nice box to give to my husband or put them in a drawer or cupboard for him to discover.

I just told people. Dd's 17 and when I was pregnant, telling people the news seemed exciting enough. I don't know anyone with children of a similar age or older who did any more than that.

God that’s so cute. I won’t be able to do anything other than simply tell him, probably test in hand as I know he’d really ideally like to be there when I do test.
If I wasn’t a blabbermouth and could keep a secret, I’d get a personalised babygrow, matching his logoed clothes for his business (the name has our surname at the start!) and write a little note saying we’ve a new apprentice due XYZ. But I am a blabbermouth so 😂

I just took the pregnancy test back to bed where he still was and said ‘errr does that look like a line to you?’ Then made him get up and go out to buy more tests from a variety of brands.

I couldn’t imagine doing the test away from him (especially when it’s first morning urine so he’s gonna he in the house anyway) and then getting the positive and having the wherewithal in that moment to put on some special announcement for him. To me it was something we found out together, not me finding out then telling him. And we were both so scared it wouldn’t ‘stick’ that we were reluctant to consider it ‘real’ for ages after that either.

It’s nice that we’re all different though, and your doggy looks very handsome in his neckerchief.

Just like @BabyDancer I'll be getting personalised baby grow with "Baby Surname" on it. Was thinking I could put it in a box with the positive stick, maybe a card saying "you're going to be a daddy!") or a card with the due date) and little baby socks in there?

My current concern is at what point I give it to him - eg if I test BFP early on I think I'll be paranoid of having a chemical but would be weird to keep the news to myself. It also feels silly/presumptuous getting all this stuff together now in case I get a BFP when it likewise could take a few years to get a BFP...
