I say just tell him. This pregnancy is a surprise for us too. I was a bit nervous to tell my husband at first. After I did though i felt so silly for being nervous. We hadn't planned on any more children and I know he was hoping to make a career change so I was worried he would be disappointed bc a new baby means he can't change jobs just yet. However he wasn't upset at all and actually his positive reaction boosted me into being happy about it too. He's been super sweet and supportive this entire pregnancy.

Just leave the positive pregnancy test somewhere you know he'll see it. Like the restroom or the bed, the night stand.

If he participated in unprotected sex at any time he shouldn't be shocked! Lol
I think faced with the reality he'll be happy. How could he not be?
I texted my husband a picture of my positive test. He wrote back a bunch of smiley faces and exclamation points lol

Its best just to tell him. You're not in it alone. Takes two!

Congrats!
