I'm pregnant! OMG! So, do I ring dh at work to tell him or should I wait until he gets home?

Got a bfp wth an ebay cheapy this morning

Couldn't believe my eyes so went into town and wasted money on a "proper" test

Unsurprisingly it was positive

I am bursting to tell someone but feel dh ought to be told first (have namechanged for this for his sake)

WWYD?

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I'd wait to see his face and then wait until you've had the 3 month scan before you tell your DD.

How exciting! Congratulations

Congratulations.

I would wait a while to tell your dd. 9 months is a lifetime for little children. I think I told my dd when I was around 4 months.

CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !

Have you got a camera phone?

I wrote on my tummy with eyeliner

"guess whats in here!"

And sent him the pic at work!

Don't have any clever suggestions...do what you feel right with...but just had to say CONGRATULATIONS!

Thomcat · 07/01/2009 16:57

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, how lovley

How about waiting for him to sit down to dinner and serve him your wee on a stick on a plate gently nestled into some salad leaves?

Then phone for a take away!

Sunshinesmith · 07/01/2009 16:59

I waited 3 days- while I was on a biz trip to the US. I was gagging to tell him but I waited and said that I was bringing him the biggest surprise pressie ever!!!!

Flier · 07/01/2009 22:10

just wondering how you ended up telling your dh and who you are [SMILE]

EachPeachPearMum · 07/01/2009 22:13

Are you pollywobbledoodle??

Congratulations anyway!

BabiesEverywhere · 08/01/2009 07:40

She isn't 'pollywobbledoodle'.

Another bump as I also want to know how 'Unhinged' surprised her DH

UmSami · 08/01/2009 07:48

BabiesEverywhere · 08/01/2009 20:21

Hello

I am Unhinged, as it were

Well I waited until he got home, but all the pent up need to tell him sort of exploded and he almost didn't have time to get in through the door and I just blurted "I'm pregnant"

Poor bloke, you should have seen his face! He talked about something else for a bit but I could see the cogs whirring whilst he processed the information then he started grinning and hasn't really stopped!

I have a load of ebay cheapy tests and I've done loads of them since Weds, can't quite believe it myself.

THanks for your interest and good wishes

Poledra · 10/01/2009 11:34

Thanks for coming back and letting us know (and I do recognise your name ). Congrats again!

BabiesEverywhere · 10/01/2009 11:39

Yeah

LOL, at how DH took it. They do need some time to process new information don't they.

Yeah

UmSami · 10/01/2009 14:40

Congrats TigerFeet...I recognise your name too...glad to see how chuffed your DH was...keep us posted

Flier · 11/01/2009 09:04

Congrats Tigerfeet, and good for you for waiting to tell him in person!

morningpaper · 11/01/2009 09:20

congrats Tigerfeet!
