Ways To Tell Your Partner You're Pregnant

My WH knew I was a couple of days late and that I was going to the doctor's that morning for a pregnancy test. So he called me at lunch time and figured he wouldn't mention it if I didn't mention it. So, when I got home (he gets off work before I do) (we live 7 hours away from our families), I said "Bay, we get to spend Christmas here at home this year". He said "why?", I said because we're having a baby on January 17th!!! He was over-estatic!!! :-)

After trying for over a year, I was too excited to do any of the cute things I had thought of. I dropped DH off at work, got a test on the way home...and called him the second it came up positive.

I took the test while my husband was at work, so when he came home that night I had tied a ribbon around our dog's neck with the pregnancy test in an envelope that read "Top Secret" Of course our pup went to greet him first thing- you should have seen my husband's face when he saw the positive test! He kept saying "is this for REAL?" lol

It was our 1 year wedding anniversary and we went to a very nice dinner. I had got a pretty box and tied the positive pregnancy test to the bottom. Over that, there was an initial card that said, "Happy Anniversary, - To the best anniversary gift ever...." then he lifted that up and underneath that was another card that said, "meet your baby June 4, 2008" and under that card was the test! We both got teary eyed! :)

we had been trying a while, so he knew the test date as well as I did. I'm not too good with delayed gratification, and I had a good feeling about this month, so a few days before the missed period date, I woke up early and decided to test. Not expecting anything really, I climbed back into bed and snuggled up with my sweetie. Unable to fall back to sleep, a few minutes later I told him to close his eyes b/c I had to turn on the light- and there it was- "PREGNANT!" I showed it to him, but he was still blury eyed- 'wha? OH!!!!' We snuggled back into bed and fell asleep wrapped up in each other.

I found out we were pregnant on my husband's birthday. When the test showed up "pregnant" I ran right downstairs & gave him the stick. At first he thought it was a joke.

I left the test next to his sink in the bathroom the morning I took it. He came into the bedroom and said he knew I was because I'd my period hadn't come yet (who says men aren't observant!) Then we hugged and he took a picture of it with his camera phone (but he's not allowed to make it his screensaver until I'm 3 months and we tell everyone!)

We both knew at the same time. We've practiced natural family planning (an observation system that is kind of like the ovulation calendar on this website- only more detailed. You use it to naturally prevent or achieve pregnancy) since we got married to hold off on getting pregnant right away, so we both always knew what stages my body was going through each month and began trying to concieve after 6 months of marriage- BINGO! :) It kinda took the fun out of suprising him, but I think that it's really special that we have gone through every second of this experience together. Baby number one is on his way any day now!!!

My husband is a huge Buckeye fan. So I took the HPT while he was at work and when it was positive, I ran to the store and found an ohio state buckeyes onsie that said, "I love my Daddy" and wrapped it up for him. When he came home I gave him the gift. I think it took him about 2 minutes or so to realize it wasn't for him and then he just smiled and gave me a hug and a kiss and said he was so happy. He's even more happy now that we just found out its a boy!

I went out and bought the movie "Knocked Up" and then wrote We are above the title. Then I handed it to him, and after his jaw dropped and he goes, "Really?" I handed him the positive pregnancy test. We were both smiling from ear to ear.

i put 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 and asked if i was really pregnant.

I bought my husband the book, "What to expect when your wife is expanding". I wrapped it up and placed it under the sheets. When he got into bed he was excited to see a present and even more excited about the news.

My husband was in the shower when I took the test - I really wasn't expecting it to be positive. I just stood there in the humid bathroom staring at the test with a grin on my face. Finally, i just poked the test into the shower and waited for him to notice. He was just as excited as I was! But the downer was that he made me stand there in the bathroom and wait for him to finish so that I wouldn't go tell my sister, who was in the living room at the time! Don't worry - we were plenty teased when we exited the bathroom together after about fifteen minutes of giggling behind closed doors!

We've had the most fun telling parents though. We live further away so we did it over the phone (yuck!), but it turned out really well. We sent them an email with a birthday invite attached and the birthday invite said : YOU'RE INVITED TO A BIRTHDAY! WHEN: Sometime around November 22 Where: A hospital in ___ ______ GUEST OF HONOR: Baby Collier RSVP: With lots of hugs and kisses and then there was a picture of the positive pregnancy tests on the bottom. We labeled the invite House and told them that it was a picture of a house we're looking at buying. It was HILARIOIUS to hear them reading the invite and then realizing what it meant! I highly recommend this for fun and shock factor!! :o)

My husband and I actually found out at the same time! I had gone to the GYN for a routine check up and to ask questions about trying to get pregnant. AFter the test she asked me to take a pregnancy test. A few minutes after she did the test she sweetly said " I think ur pregnant." I burst into tears of joy and my husband grinned from ear to ear! He came up to me, hugged and kissed me . . . we've been on cloud nine ever since!!

I had stopped my Birth Control in March, 1 month prior to our wedding to allow by body to adjust and prepare for pregnancy. Little did I know that it would not take much trying. I had a normal period that started right on time March 15th. As the wedding approached and with all the stress, by the second week in April I was expecting my period. I had cramps and breast tenderness like always but was running a little late. I took a test before my bachelorette party on April 18th just to be safe and I was very sure it was negative. Not thinking anything about it the week passed and we were married on the 25th. The next week with still no period I got suspicious and took another test. I kept getting the same cryptic line results, but felt still more cramps and thought for sure my period was well on it's way however late. Wednesday after the wedding after talking to some girlfriends who already have kids about how I was feeling I decided to schedule an appointment. Sure enough, 4 days after my wedding we were 4 weeks pregnant! All that long term planning and preparation was for naught! Now all my friends joke and call me "firtile Myrtle" the wonder woman who get pregnant immediately after stopping 10 years of birth control!

Me and my boyfriend are totally excited. The sign that I truly am pregnant are getting stronger by the day. I just can't wait to take my test in another week!
