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

I should add with ds2 I had the sense to do the test in my own bathroom

after trying for two years and numerous negative tests dh said when he saw our first positive" the test must be broken" 2nd test positive " must be a faulty batch!!!"

Tootsie, I did one of the five tests I did for ds (just couldn't quite believe it [grin}) in the loos at Paddington station. Was there for the first time since (more than two years later) recently and couldn't help walking round with a soppy grin! Must have looked really daft...

sorry Tootie, misread your posting name.

DD1
Me: waving stick in sleepy face unable to speak, tears of joy
him: Can I be all excited in the morning? It's 4am...
However, I think I went blissfully back to sleep whilst he lay there awake until the morning!

DD2 (12 months after DD1, cycle up the spout)
Me: Look - I'll do a test, if that's the only way to prove to you I'm not pregnant.
(2 mins pass)
Me: Oh. Whoops!
Him: Whoops indeed!

Me: There's no way I could get pregnant, even with fertility treatment I can't manage to have a period!!!. unless... (running to the toilett)

DH: Stop wasting more tests, they are very expenve!

Me: Houston, we have a ... (stop and thought to myself that was not the best way to tell him ) Came out of the toilet with test in hand.

DH: NOOOO, It can be! try another one.

ME: It's again!

DH: It's an ASDA test it can be relliable!

...followed by an interchange of "holy cow!" and "que fort!" through out the night and early run to the supermarket to get a different brand of test...

After few days he told me that he had already assumed that there was no way we could get pregnant and never believed that it was going to happen, even with the fertility treatment. But he was soooo pleased! (.... and I was sooooo scared!!!)

So, Bugaboo, there is hope!

dd - which was done in the loos at work as I was virtually falling asleep at my desk and felt crap generally - "Oh Shit"

ds - I didn't do a test at home but went to the docs as I didn;t have any symptoms other than the elusive AF. I waited a few days for the result

Looking back - I can't believe I did that

After being a fortnight late it was the usual Friday night let your hair down time.I thought "I'm never that late". I bought a test from a chemist on the way to the pub.

Did it in the ladies before I had a drink......2 blue lines.......cripes! After checking the instructions twice, I summons DH and said "Fancy that pint of stout you just bought me?" and showed the test. Everything was a blur after. Managed to convince myself the test was wrong and repeated it a 7am and it was "Better see the Doctor" and off to the Saturday surgery

Worse was what I said after giving birth. I had convinced myself I was carrying a girl.....DH is down the business end and after a couple of big shoves he says "All right fella"

Me...."Fella"
DH...."Yep, you've had a girl with a winkle"
Me...."A girl with a winkle, praise be it's a miracle"
MW...."Are you lot going to do anything normally" (or some such, poor lass, she'd put up with 7 hours of relative bizzarness)

so, apologies to...DH, DS, MW, and Mr Curtis and Elton

Me (sat on the loo): It's going to be negative, I don't know why I'm bothering ... oh, shit. I don't believe it! (the last bit a tad hysterical)
Him: But we've only had sex once this month!!

(in our defence we had been moving house, AND moving his elderly parents to a new house)

Both of us look at each other thinking how damn clever we were - but a little bit scared as I'd just had a miscarriage a couple of months earlier.

A look of puzzlement at the pressie he just opened, then eventually a "you're not?, are you pregnant???"

He had just received a baby photo album

mudda, just looking through this thread, congrats. Was this the romantic views that are to blame? Just think a true Scot!

first one i did a test but only saw a very faint line that i thought id imagined so didnt tell the other half. when i came striding out of the clinic looking like thunder three days later he said he "knew something was up" (i was only pretending to look angry because we'd been trying)

second one i did two tests not expecting them to be pos, was just ruling it out. oops...i said "shit" over and over before phoning my friend and swigging baileys whilst knocking over things in complete shock. when partner came round he asked why i was so quiet "im pregnant" says i. "oh right" he replies and i spent the next 3 hours looking at the tests hoping the crosses had gone!

My first words were "how many lines do YOU see?"

Does that mean you will be wanting maintenance?

Does that mean you will be wanting maintenance?

1st time: bloody hell! At least I know I'm not firing blanks!! We'll be sober this Christmas! (nice and romantic eh?)

2nd time (after 8 pregnancy tests just to make sure): Oh Jeeeeeeeesus, this'll be another sober Christmas then!!

I was bowled over by his paternal instinct and concern for my welfare.

first time: dont worry, stop crying it will all be ok.

second time: its twins isn't it? oh shit

can you do a test 4 days before your period is due???

Just wondering from one of the posting...
thanks

I called down the stairs 'are you sitting down?'
My husband then called back 'why, what have you bought?'!
We'd been trying for six months but we were still both in shock!

I must be weird as both times I didn't use a home test - I actually managed to wait till the doctors did the test - took several days the first time!

Can't remember what I said first time but dh didn't have a clue even when I gave him a present which he unwrapped and pulled out baby socks. He said "socks?" and then it slowly dawned on him.

2nd time I didn't have a clue till I was over 7 weeks. Put the test in to the nurse at the surgery and phoned later that day and was shocked when she said it was positive. I did the sock thing again which was much the same but dh was even more amazed as we'd not been have sex much and dd was obviously just a one hit wonder

'oh shit!' - we weren't married

The first time the penny dropped when on the phone to my mum, couldn't get off the phone fast enough................did test and then ran around bathroom, and landing shouting OH MY GOD. Had to wait for hubby to arrive home from day trip to Paris,as a gift he brought me some paté and some brie. As he was taking off his tie, I said thank you very much darling but pregnant women can't eat that sort of stuff. We had been ttc for 9 years on and off and four really trying, anyway as I imparted my little nugget,he pulled his tie so hard in shock that the button on his button down collar flew across the kitchen. Miscarried.

Three months later, atrocious wind in the middle of the night, second night running,about to take some Maalox, do not take if pregnant etc., did a test, just to be sure. POSTIVE. Woke hubby who was delighted, he went back to sleep and I stayed up all night, afraid to go to bed in case it had been a dream. Next morning cue hubby, have we any dates yet ?? May 11th.. short silence... that is close to the end of the financial year....never mind we will manage............Oh My God!! that is Cup Final weekend, how irresponsible is that ??, he had the good grace to laugh as he ran for his life. Full term beautiful boy 3years and 5 months.

My Dp's and I'm not joking 'we're f*cked' !!!
