how did you tell your husband/bf/baby daddy

I took the test when he was at work and it was positive before I could set it down. I was so freaked out I took a pic of it and sent to him over text message. Biggest surprise he's gotten on break I'm sure. Lol he was happy, just very surprised since he didn't even know I was late. I was sure that test would be negative. I even bought pads with it! Lol

Anyways, how did you guys tell him you were pregnant?

I always get my period at different times, sometimes I go 46 days in between cycles so I had no thought about being pregnant. I should also add  that me and my boyfriend have been having careless sex(no condoms, no birth control, no pulling out) for 3.5 years and we have never gotten pregnant. This time I was 8 days late for my period and I was going to go out for a drink with some friends n decided hey let me just take a test to ease my mind about going for a drink just in case lol well I went into bathroom to take test and Yupp test was + before I even finished peeing on stick lol I screamed n my bf was waiting at the door with a knife lmao (he was joking of course) PS.when my dad got my mom pregnant with me (one night stand) when he finished having sex with her he looked her in the eyes and said"you're pregnant, with a girl" lmaoo

He was at work. I grabbed a 1 dollar test from dollar general. Took it..positive! Ran and grabbed another...positive. I sent a saddy face to my bf on text. He asked what was wrong. I said I'm pregnant. He asked why I act like its a bad thing. I said ill probably just miscarry again.  And he said I saw a shooting star last night. I think it was a signthat this is a good thing. And dure enough. I'm 18 weeks now :)

I was like :O Omg I'm pregnant!! So we went a bought the more money ones cause I used a dollar store one and sure enough i was. I thought it was twins because I took it at like 4 in the afternoon and I wasn't even 2 1/2 weeks so I was surprised!! :) wouldn't Change it!!! I love my son even though I'm only 23 weeks.

Lol my (now ex) was working down south when I found out.    I had a crappy day at work and had been sick, I was exhausted (though I put that down to the job) and I was talking to him on the phone and said the girls at my work had told me jokingly to take a test as I don't normally complain about being unwell etc, and he freaked out, told me to go take one (I was on the Pill, we had decided we didn't want kids for another few years) so I went to the store, and bought one of their own brand ones as it was a couple days before payday.    It came back positive but I thought it was cause it was just a cheap one so I used the emergency credit card and went and bought a couple more, and a Clear Blue First Response - they all came back positive, I lined them up on the couch, took a pic of them all and text it to him, then sent a normal text afterwards saying I'd sent him a picture....I was too scared to tell him myself as I thought he would shout at me.    He called me as soon as he got them, was in shock, could barely speak to me for two days he was in that much shock lol x

I had a friend actually get pregnant on an IUD. It traveled somewhere or fell out somehow and she got pregnant. They never did find what happened to it. The doctors had to look in the placenta and see if it was there

I was on the IUD and I had it taken out bc it was causing a lot of problems and my Dr. Told me it takes a months to get pregnant after an IUD bc it thinns the lining and an egg can't attach so I made an appointment to get on the shot but my appointment was a month away but I didn't use protection bc I thought it would take a while to get pregnant. Well the month went by and I missed my appointment thank god bc I missed my period also so me and my boyfriend went and got a preg test and when I got home I took it and said baby is that a line and he said no you can't already be pregnant but as we sat and watched it it got darker and darker and all he could do was smile lol I was in shock but kinda excited at the same time now I'm 19 with a 3 yo little girl and 31 weeks with our son.

We had been trying for year with fertility treatments due to pcos and were on a break. On christmas eve I decided to buy a test randomly and it was positivei almost had a heart attack cause I didn't even think it was possible ( no period on my own for a year) and I rushed to my room and called my hubby and said look! And asked him if he thought it was real and we were both in shock! And then we drove to the store and bought three more tests to be sure! Happiest day of our lives

Me and my ex fiancé had been trying for a year but separated recently. I called him up after I took the test and he told me I was trying to ruin his life and told me he wished I'd get rid of it.
A week after he called me all excited and apologized. I still don't know what to think about his reaction but I was extremely surprised i was pregnant and very happy because I didn't think I could conceive.

Yeah I was gonna wait the whole three minutes too see and it was positive before i could set it down. I remember still being on the toilet going to set it down on the tub and saw 2 extremely dark lines lol I was in shock I didn't believe it. I told my bf and asked him.if I should get another test. He said no but j went to walmart and got another anyways. When he got home he was like let me see. Must've been in denial lol

Well I had told my boyfriend that my cycle was a couple of days late so he told me to take a test that next morning to see. Well the night before I tested I could not sleep I was so anxious lol it was making me crazy so about 6 am the next morning I hopped out of bed so fast and took my test normally ladies leave till its done but I sat there in watch hahaha. There was a line there but it was faint so im like okay maybe im not. But anyway I told him on his break and asked if he was mad he said no I just wanted to make sure.

The first he was at work when I took the test and he had no idea I might be.  Actually I have PCOS and have always been told it will be hard for me to conceive with out help.  So since we weren't trying  at all I didn't think I was either.  The first test said positive the second said negative so I ran out to buy more and he happened to call he asked what I was doing and I was like "well...". He was a nervous wreck the rest of the night.  The next one was negative but I waited til the morning to take the last one and sure enough bfp.  I think he was more excited than me.

This one I just had this odd feeling I was and he made some comment about needing to go to the bathroom so I said let me get in there before you smell it up.  I took the test and sure enough bfp.  I just left it on the sink and came out.  I was so excited it was hard for me to keep from smiling.  He decided to take his time since he was sitting with our first finally I said come here Nicholas so daddy can go to the bathroom.  That finally got him in there.  A few min later he came out with the test in his hand shaking his head with a huge grin on his face.
