Ways To Tell Your Partner You're Pregnant

My husband and I love to eat birthday cake so I decided to tell him by presenting him with a cake that had "I'm pregnant!" written on it. I served it as dessert and just let him read it and react - it was very positive! : )

I really wanted to get a onesie that said "I love my Daddy" but I couldn't find one anywhere in the the time I had. So when my DH came home for lunch, I had a rattle and a "Congrats Daddy" card all wrapped up for him. I told him I had a prize to fix the bad day he'd been having, but really I had big news! He took one look at the rattle and gave me a HUGE hug... and even cried a few happy tears. :D

I used to be a manager at Gymboree, and when the first line I fell in love with arrived (in 2002) I took him shopping with me to get one of each piece. I decided that when I found out I was pregnant I would wrap those items (belive me, I have a closet full now) and give them to him as a gift. He stared at the clothes for about five seconds, looked at me and asked if I was pregnant. He catches on quick :)

I walked in the living room while he was working on his computer and said "Does this look like a plus sign?" And he said no! (It was really faint.) I went to work, and he called me that afternoon to tell me the lines had darkened and it really was a plus sign!

I already had a feeling that I was pregnant the week that I was supposed to get my period. The week came & went & no period. The following week, I decided to take a HPT on DH's bday. Before dinner, I took the test & hid the results. As we were getting into bed, I came up to DH w/the results behind my back asking him if he was ready for his gift. It was the best bday gift he had ever received!

I took my husband on the dinner cruise where he had proposed to me (pretending we were celebrating our anniversary) and took him up to the spot where he had given me the ring. I told him this time I had a gift for him and handed him a pacifier that I had been hiding in my purse all day. He was so excited!

I had elaborate plans...when it came down to it, I just ran out of the bathroom and shoved the stick in his face. LOL

We found on on Valentine's Day!! I woke up at 4 in the morning and at 5:30 I took the test. I was so nervous!! DH was sleeping and when it came up positive, I went to him and woke him up by telling him that we were going to have a baby! He was so excited!!

My FI was at work when I took a home pregnancy test. When it said positive I immediately went to the drs office to confirm it. I stopped at a book store on the way home and got him "Your Pregnancy for Fathers to Be" and then made him a cute crafty card that said "You will be a great father some day..." and on the inside it said "around November 29, 2008. Yes.... I am sure!" etc. We both cried and laughed a little when he read it and then looked at me and said "I love you!" It was exactly how I wanted him to react... we had JUST come off BC the month before.

I wrote him a card that said 'Dear Daddy: I can't wait to meet you in 9 months. Love, Baby' His eyes were as big as saucers and we both were laughing and crying. An unforgettable moment.

i out the positive test next to the bathroom sink and when DH came home with our 2 year old on there "father/son" day I sent him up to the bathroom and told him something happened ( he thought i broke something) he saw the test sitting there and before he even looked to see if the test was positive or not he just grabbed me and hugged me as tight as he could while we were all still in the bathroom

Well, I told him I was picking up the test, but I told him I was going to take it the next day. I got the results and I couldn't believe them, so I took it out with the instruction sheet and said, does that look like a plus sign to you? He said, "I think it does, I love you!" Then we both went into shock! 3 days later and the shock hasn't worn off. We're happy but scared.

My husband teased me when I came home with anything baby-related, and said it was fine as long as he didn't come home and find baby furniture all over until we were actually pregnant. So, when I took the test, I resisted the urge to tell him right away so I could wait for him to go to work (2 days! I found out on a Saturday morning!) and then my friend, my mom and I went and got the crib that my husband and I had picked out a while ago. I got an "I love my daddy" bib and a card, and left them on top of the crib box in the soon-to-be baby's room. When he got home, I told him I had a present for him and pointed him upstairs.....He got it!

I was just 1 day late when I took the test and I only bought and took the test becuase my husband suggested it. I really did not think I was pregnant. After we bought it we went home had supper and started watching a movie. When I need to pee finally I snuck away into the bathroom. The test showed positive almost immediately. I walked out of the restroom and said "Um, honey, where are those instructions again?" The look of shock totally gave me away and he came over and gave me the biggest best hug forever as I just bawled! It was so exciting and scary all at the same time! :o)

My husband insisted on being there with me when I took the test. He was in the kitchen and I was in the bathroom. The second line on the test barely started to show. I thought I was seeing things! I called him in there and asked him if there was a line there and he asked "That pink one?" We just looked at each other, he grabbed me in his arms and hugged me forever as I bawled and shook with excitement!!Now our little soldier (just like daddy) is on the way!

I had suspected I was pregnant for a few weeks but couldn't get a test to turn positive. I got this strange period and had been having a lot of pregnancy symptoms so I took another test at about 7 in the morning after I let the dog out. I ran upstairs, turned on the light, jumped in bed and yelled "I'm not crazy! I'm pregnant! I'm pregnant!" I was 6 weeks pregnant when we found out.

when we first started trying, i had gotten a tshirt that had a picture of an oven on it with the word "bun" on the inside of the oven. the day that i had a positive test, i changed into the shirt once we were both home for the evening and just went about my business. when he first walked by he giggled and said the shirt was cute, but it took a minute before it really hit him. once it sunk in, he screamed and hugged me:)

I thought he'd be awake when I got home YESTERDAY but he wasn't. I had purchased a baby card and a newborn diaper filled with Kit-Kat (his favorite). Since he was still sleeping, I set up the video camera in the corner to catch his reaction. I woke him up and asked him to check out the card that I bought for the baby shower I had to go to today. But inside, after the inscription, is said "Congratulations Daddy :)" and then "Michael, I'm pregnant. And I can't wait to have your baby." He was really happy... after the shock!

I am not pg yet, but I have a jersey from my FI's favorite MLB team. When I get my positive test, I am going to give him the jersey that says DADDY on the back and the number 1! :)

I had previously bought a cute onesie that said "I have been practing in mommys belly" with a picture of a dirt bike rider! :) DH loves to ride dirt bikes. So after I took the HPT I wrapped the onesie up and when he got home from work he opened it up and looked for a min, they said are you pregnant? :) It was a neat moment!

I got just a white bib and got those little sticky foam letters and spelled out "guess what" on the bib. Then i wrapped it up in a gift bag and gave it to him. He was so excited he grabbed me and gave me a huge hug and we cried happy tears together. Then we decided to make 3 more bibs to tell our parents in the same way. It was a very fun way to tell DH and our families!

Our favorite baseball team had won the NLDS the night before, so the day I got the BFP I stopped at a sporting goods store on my way home from work and picked up a little Phillies onesie. When my DH came home that night I casually mentioned that I was driving past the sporting goods store and thought of him. As he was eagerly digging into the bag I held up the test. He just grabbed me into a big bear hug and then had to sit. He was in a state of shock for a solid 48 hours! :-)

I only buy ginger ale when Im pregnant, so Im going to get some put it in the fridge and see how long it takes him to figure it out.

We love pasta, so my husband said that whenever I cooked with Prego sauce, he'd know it meant we were having a baby. So I had a jar in the back of the pantry, and on the morning I got the positive result, I called him home from work (with some excuse). When he walked in I had pasta boiling on the stove with the Prego sauce next to it (at 9:30am) ha ha. It took him a minute to make the connection, but then he smiled, hugged me and we both took the day off to celebrate!

I like to make baby blankets for all my friends that get pregnant, and I had just made one for my cousin, when I found out I was pregnant. DH was at work, so I ran to the fabric store and got boy and girl fabric, had them laying on the bed when he came home. He asked who are you making a blanket for now? And I said US!! The I showed him my BFP test. He hugged me forever and said REALLY??!! He was sooo excited! :-)

First two pregnancies I honestly couldn't see the second line on the test clearly so I asked him his opinion. LOL He looked at me and said "um yea there's a second line there!" There was a brief silence and then laughs.

I had planned on telling my husband by getting him for Christmas tickets to the Phillies father's day game (he's a huge Phillies fan) and tell him that this is a great way to spend his first father's day as a dad. But I got impatient and saw the perfect opportunity a few days before Christmas on a day he went to the doctor to have an ultrasound on his leg and I had been at my first OB appointment where she did an ultrasound. He was telling me all about his appointment that day when I told him "you're not the only one who had an ultrasound today...." he couldn't have been happier! Plus he still go this baseball tickets.

I was already late and had been feeling poorly so I picked up a test at the store with my husband. So he knew about them, we're pretty open about everything. Anyway, I took one right when we got home that afternoon, but it was inconclusive. I thought maybe it was because it wasn't first pee. So I took one the next morning when I woke up. My husband was already up and trying to keep busy on the computer. I waited the full time in the bathroom and then some. Then I stepped out the bathroom to find my husband standing in the hallway in anticipation. He said "Well?" Somewhat stunned still, I said we're pregnant. My husband actually hopped and cheered. lol It was surprising because we weren't trying and although we both wanted children someday, we had figured it be another couple of years first. I'll never forget his reaction though. So out of character for my 6'5" husband.

It was my husband that suggested we get a test, so he knew I was talking it. I waited till the next morning and got up early. He wasnt up yet so I got to wake him with the good news. I wanted to do something more. But we got pregnant before we started trying so I waited til Valentine's Day and gave him a shirt I had made that said "#1 expecting dad" He loves it!

my love is always telling a tacky red neck joke about a boyfriend showing up late for a date and finding her daddy out on the front porch with a shotgun and he says "guess who else is late?" when i realized i was late, i used those words. the next day we took a test to confirm, and he ran around with the biggest smile on his face for weeks!

I'm waiting for this day to come that my wife will surprise me or tell me that I'm gonna be a daddy. -Gauthier, Houghtaling and Williams
