How did you all tell your partners you were pregnant?
He didn't know I was testing because I just did it on a whim, now I want a cute/fun way to tell him x

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Ive nevee been able to hold my own water and just blurt it out lol! But you could get a wee personalised tshirt or baby grow. A scavenger hunt around the house would be cute theres loads of clue ideas on google and it could lead him to the pregnancy test at the end! Congrats

This time... I kept it to myself for a week then bought a digital test and gave him that. Never done any special announcements.
He said he wanted to keep it quiet until we found out if it's a boy or girl but he's told loads of people since we had the dating scan.

I did a scavenger hunt which ended with a bun in the oven with the EDD on

I wanted to put a bun in the oven and ask him what it was. I had this vision of him saying it and realising. 😂 In the end I just ran out of the toilet screaming and wailing with joy, and thrusting a pee stick in his face!

I ordered a t shirt for our dd that said big sister. But then didn't want to wait until it arrived, so bought a card that said 'baby' and a put a digital test underneath the card. Then waited for him to get home.

I'm very bad at keeping my own secrets, so was pleasantly surprised I could wait all day to tell him until he got home!

Sadly we don't have a dog currently but if we did I would have totally tied the positive test to their collar and sent them over to him!

I bought my ex a ‘good luck’ card
