How did you tell your partner you were pregnant?

[jellyjelly]

Well....

dd1 - burst into tears in Sainsburys car park and blurted it out

dd2 - post miscarriage, so was quite a serious and sober occasion, poured him glass of wine and told him downstairs in sitting room

db3 - casually handed pg test stick while he was cooking dinner and said 'you must have super sperm'

I chucked my pissy stick at DP and walked out the room, all casual.

He's never really let me live it down.

I think I'm pregnant again.

Why? Just a little nose?

watched the line appear together, then burst out crying (with happiness)

NOT pregnant but thinking of good ways when we try to start concieving to tell him.

Have to add that he actually told me that we were having a baby as he saw the stick first but he thought i knew what the result was, i didnt but the stick started going pink very quickly.

With dd I just told dh I thought I might be, then we went to Tesco's to buy preg test kit. I was impatient to know and tried to test in the cafe toilets but couldn't get the damn thing out of the packet, had to wait until we got home (20 min drive, the longest of my life), two lines formed on the test immediately, then I phoned my mum, who promptly burst into tears (of happiness!)

With ds I was at the gym, and felt really, really sick. Dh had a day off, so off to Tesco we troop again, didn't really think I was pregnant, so was surprised when the stick turned pink. This time I didn't tell anyone (including dd) until I was 12 weeks.

Well you could always do the knitted bootees on a plate

Dh was in Scotland for a week and having found out on the Monday I couldn't bear to wait until the Friday so after a pefectly normal half hour phone call, just as he was about to put the phone down, I blurted out that I had something to tell him, and the conversation went something like:

Me: You're going to kill me.
Him: What have you done? Oh, bloody hell, you've crashed the car!
Me: Noooo ... Oh, God, you'll never forgive me!
Him: It can't be the car, it's parked at the airport - oh my God, you've killed the cat!
Me: Noooo ... oh, bugger, I can't tell you like this. You're going to hate me!
Him: You've set fire to the £@# house!
Me: Noooo - itlookslikeImightsortofbepregnant
Him: Oh, fantastic! (pause) I thought you were on the Pill?
Me: Yes, so did I.
Him: It's that Ben Elton!
Me: ????
Him: Ben Elton - it's his fault!
Me: ???
Him: You were reading that book of his, Inconceivable, weren't you!

When he got home he threw the book out - he's not normally superstitious but he can't quite get round the idea that the book has something to do with it and didn't want me to read it again just in case!

LOL at VVV's "pissy stick"!

I did similar actually - wandered out of the bathroom with my pissy stick and casually said "I think I might be pregnant...." We were both a bit incredulous as this was the first month of trying following an ectopic 3 months earlier, and down to only one fallopian tube - we thought it would take us ages to conceive again.... DD arrived 9 months later!

My dh is a pharmcist and has told lots of women they are pregnant, I was another one. He can read the tests much quicker than I can, so he actually tols me, I donlt think he's cried when he's told anyone else though

Did think about getting a t shirt for our ds with the words 'Im the big brother' and either getting ds to wear it or wrapping it up.

can't remeber with Ds1 but think we were both there so found out together.

I phoned him at work with ds2.

I left the test on the kitchen side for him to find with Ds3. I was upstairs and as i walked into th kitchen he was leaning on the side looking really closely at the test. He then said "Are you pregnant??"

My reply was "No...the bloody dog is you idiot"

What a stupid question to ask me!

I did a pregnancy test in the loo at work because I was due to go for a night on the beer and had been feeling a bit odd, so wanted to make sure.
Rang DH to tell him I wasn't going out, I was coming home because I was pregnant. After a long pause he replied "Whose is it?" . We had only managed a bit of nookie once that month due to him being away, me being away and illness, so I suppose it was a shock, particularly as we had been trying for 4 years and had been much more active than that .

Actually - that has reminded me. I had an empty "first response" box at the back of my knicker drawer that i had forgotten about. We were moving around our bedroom furniture the other day and he found the box.

He nearly had a heart attack! I had to do lots of reassuring that the box dates back to checking my pg with DS (who is now 10 mths )

I wrapped the pos pg test up like a prezzie & handed it to him when he came in from work. The "oh it's not a real prezzie then" look quickly changed to an "OMG is this what I think it is look" - a happy look, I hasten to add, and decidedly damp eyed with joy (claimed his eyes were sweating bless)

When DH came home from work I said "we have to talk" then led hom to the livingroom.
He sat down I sat on his lap, gave him a big cuddle and whispered 'I think we're gonna have a baby'
We had only be kind of half trying but really just not avoiding it IYKWIM for about 3 months so it was a BIG shock.
There were tears but mostly from me cause I was TERRIFIED!!

I did the test at 6am on day 28 of cycle, as we had been having fertility treatment for over 18 months.............his first words after all those months of anxiety and waiting?

"have you pissed on this?"

Not quite what i was hoping for

DS- ran off my till at work into the coffee shop and said 'i'm pregnant' and ran away
dd1- he was with me when I did the test
dd2-told him when he got in from work and burst into tears as I didn't want another baby.

Got home from a night out with the girls (one of which had lent me a pg test) .... nudged him (me)'hun, you awake'(him) grunt grunt, (Me)'you awake'(him) grunt .... (me)I think I'm pregnant (him)WHAT!!!!!
The he shot out of bed and drove to all night tescos at 2am to buy another test just to be sure

he sat ashen in the livingroom while I went and did the test then we watched it turn pink together.

With DS, at 3am - we were away for the weekend with a bunch of friends, I had taken a test with me as we had been ttc, and that w/end was the right time to find out. Needed the loo in the middle of the night and couldn't hold off testing any longer! Neither of us got much sleep for the rest of the night (too excited), and then we had to find a public call box at 7am to tell M and MIL, I couldn't contain myself and wanted to tell our friends, but felt I had to tell Ps first.

With DD, we had been ttc for a couple of months after a mc, and I phoned him at work to tell him, then I started ringing my friends and didn't tell mum until later in the day.

DD1 - did test and work (knew I was though) DP and I had had a row about something when he got home did another test and just handed him the stick, his first words "is it mine?" could have killed him!!

DD2 - he moved away to Scotland a month before we did so phoned him up at work and told him think his first words were "OMG (DD1 9 mo) we only did it once I have super sperm!!

Men!!??
