How to reveal second pregnancy to DH on Father's Day

[MaddyC92]

So I have just found out I am pregnant with baby number 2. Very wanted and planned. DH works away, and I have decided to tell him on our Father's Day, one week early. We have his 2 DC that weekend, so that is why we will celebrate early. He will get a card from me, our DS and both of his DC. I want to give him a card from the new baby, but I am useless at thinking up a clever way to do it. Any suggestions?

Not to ruin your lovely idea but just how early on are you and how old are his 2 children/your DS? I would be wary of letting them know too early if they are young, not only might something go wrong but if they are young it is a LONG time for them to wait for the new baby.

Ooh, very good point! They are 10 and 12, and our DS is nearly 1. We told my DSC only after the 12 week scan with our first. I literally was due my period today, so it is very early! Probably just caught up in the excitement to think very sensibly! Hmm, may have to plan something else...

Congratulations!

Sorry to be such a negative Nancy, but definitely think carefully. I told DH that I was pregnant on a special date and then I miscarried a few weeks later. That date is now always tinged with sadness and when I look at photos, I hate how happy and naive I look.

Why don’t you do a card from the new baby to be and just give it to him late at night after the others are all in bed? That way he knows on Father’s Day but you don’t have to tell the others just yet?

Me and my husband are announcing our 1st pregnancy to our families on father's day. We've having our 12 week scan on the 15th and we are putting a poem with a copy of the 12 week scan photo in both of their cards and just going to wait till they open the card 🙈

Agree with not telling dcs. My dh worked away when I was pregnant with my first, sent him a picture of the pregnancy test to tell him. With my second I did the same even tho we were out for lunch when I told him
