What were yours and your partner's first words/reactions when you found out you were pregnant?

When I founbd out I was pregnant with DD I think we had both already guessed. I didn't take the test until I was about 1.5 weeks alte or more as nervous (had had an earlier mc and taken over a year to fall pg again). BIL had already guyessed too as I had been sick all weekend at his hiuse just before. I ended up doing the test one morning at home on my own just out oif curiousity. When it was positive I had to tell DH there and then - done whilst he was at work via the phone. He didn't really say much TBH at the time. But he came home with a massive boquet of flowers and a huge grin, which said more than any words could have done really.

Dp is in favour big time now - he told me this morning that he is 'made up, over the moon, the happiest man alive and more excited about this than he has ever been about anything else in hs life' - I love him XXX (Saddo!!

I have to say, you all bought tears to my eyes - tears of happiness. those were the lovliest and funniest stories I have heard in a long time. I'mm ttc for baby no 1 and can't wait to be in the same position as you all.xxxx

after 10 years waiting for baby number two,dh was speechless,he literally didn't speak for hours...then we both cried.
I'll never forget it.

We fell first time, but had been planning to start trying at that time for over a year. DH was watching the Grand Prix. I went upstairs to do the test without telling him and then rushed into the living room in shock with tears in my eyes. He burst into tears. I said oh my god, your crying and he said yes, Damon Hill has just spun off. Who said romance was dead.

polly28 - you had to wait 10 years?? but hurrah, what an amazing feeling that must have been - brings tears to my eyes too!!

With baby no.1,despite ttc for over 3.5 years & about to go for IVF,my initial reaction was 'oh shit!'DH was stunned but not excited as he thought it was to good to be true.Sadly he was right & the baby was ectopic.

7 wks later I was pregnant again with dd & took the test to show him,with the words'I've got an late Christmas present for you'.He was overjoyed & flung his arms around me.

This time I was shocked as we'd only been trying 2 months.He just gave me a big hug & kiss & asked why I was so surprised.I don't know-I'm still in a state of disbelief.

My dp (as he was then) went out and bought life insurance the following day. Sounds unromantic, but I was so utterly touched.

Mine were,'cause that's f**king funny NOT!', as i shoved the test into my mates face. Obviously i wasn't planning getting pregnant but glad i did!

I just handed him the stick to read himself. Even without reading it he said "I knew you were". Then he faffed about trying to read the clearblue instructions "You ARE pregnant!!"
Then he just puffed out his chest and with a huge smile on his face he said
"I'm going to be a Daddy!"

Mine laughed hysterically...when he stopped I just looked in amazement and he then said "Do you want a cup of tea now?"
With No2, he just said, "that was quick" as we had only been trying for about 4 months and it took 2 years with No1.
Not at all romantic...not even a bunch of flowers, choccies...all the housework done for the next 8 months, you know, all the things we expect!

Whats going on with "twigglets" messages, they are all withdrawn?

Sorry, thats not what our first words were on discoverung my pregnancy....we just smiled and cried..allot, i felt like bursting and wanted to tell the world, so did he xxx

Ooh the best bit was when he told his mates at work...
Apparently he was sat at his desk, trying to look 'cool' and said "Well number one's on the way"! No one really understood what he meant and then a colleague said, "Do you want the lavatory?"

Why could he not just say I was having a baby...like a 'normal man?

Mine were 'Oh F##k!, bloody antibiotics'

His were 'Oh F##k! How'd that happen, you're on the pill'. I must have super sperm!'

We were of course pleased once the initial shock wore off (approx 9 months later!).

Why do men always presume to have super sperm?

Gscrym- LMAO thats exactly what my Exp said!! I was on the pill and he thought he was bloody 'Super Sperm' man too, IDIOT!

What lovely stories. It took us 6 months to get pregnant. Mainly because my dh is a fitness instructor - he'd come knackered after 6 hours of excercise to find me in my best pulling pants and he would say 'You can do whatever you want - just don't wake me up'! Anyway, I did the test at home one morning on the off chance. My reaction was 'F**k', and then I had to sit down as my legs went wibbly. I had the fastest shower ever then drove to the gym to tell dh. Dragged him away from client into office - he took one look at me and said 'Why are you sweating?' ! I told him and he grinned from ear to ear and gave me the biggest hug ever and told me how much he loved me. I had to go to work, but he sent me loads of text messages all day and a HUGE bunch of flowers. Bless.

mine - oh my god what am i going to do now! definitely wasn't planned. after it had sunk in i was really excited

my (ex)partners - who's the father? prat

Oh sh*t!

3 days ago: dh pats his bits and says "Well done boys, you've done me proud again!"

Dd1 - I said......Yey and grinnned and then god no, i've changed my mind
He said..........See told you i had great sperm.

Dd2 - I said see told ya and he said 'well i shouldn't be surprised really this is me we are on about.

Ds - I said Oh dear (whilst grinning insanley) and dp said oh shit.
I then said, 'not so happy about the super sperm now are we

me - walk in to living room slightly shaking holding BFP

DH - hugs me and says - oh well, you wanted us to have a baby at some point, might as well be now

lol nutcracker

me - .... (stunned silence with a smile and tears)

exp - SMASH!! What? R u sure? (he dropped his phone)

workmates - OH MY GOD YOU'RE PREGNANT!! (i was at work when I did it so they were there when I found out lol)

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 phone call 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)
Him: I thought you were on the Pill!
Me: Yes, so did I.
Him: It's that Ben Elton!
Me: ????
Him: You were reading that book Inconceivable weren't you!

He has never, ever allowed me to read that book again as he really seems to believe that reading a book about conception was the thing that did it!

I did the test for ds1 in the train station toilets (romantic!) and when the blue line came up I was in total shock....So much so I kept pulling the test out of my pocket and staring at it as I walked home! Of course I must have got some funny looks but I didn't notice....Anyway dh was delighted!!
