How did you tell him?
Hey ladies, im feeling sentimental, im curious how you told your SO (significant other) that you were pregnant with their child, and how did they react? We were trying to conceive, and i took a test just out of the blue one day, wasn't far enough along to have any symptoms, it was just a random thought *eh why not* take a pregnancy test since i had one left. Well to my own amazing surprise i got 2 pink lines, well being a first time mom i was so excited that i,and quote him here, "you were so excited i heard squealing coming from the bathroom for at least a minute before the door busts open and you squeal all the way over to me holding up the test, did you even breathe?" lol well truth be told i was OVER THE MOON excited, so i didnt even think to say it in some cute way, or drop a hint. OH WELL there is always #2 later on xD
I am now 27 weeks pregnant with our first child, a daughter we will name Kaylie Shay. So what about you ladies, would love to hear your big reveal stories! :)

I had took so many negative tests. SO MANY. My partner and I went to the store to get some stuff to cookout and I found him in the pregnancy test aisle, googling tests.l Well, we got home, unloaded the groceries, fired up the grill and I went to the bathroom. I took the test and sat it on the floor, not expecting a positive result when I picked it up and just kind of laughed a little bit. I picked up the directions just to make sure the result I was reading was positive. It was. I just walked out back, put my arms around him and said, we're going to have a baby. He smiled, and said, are we? I simply replied yes. He kissed me and we both stood there, with our arms around each other. Honestly everything seemed to slow down in that moment and it was truly magical. After so many negative tests...... This one finally came out positive. :)
We tried for 7 years to get pregnant and nothing. So we stopped trying. I was to the point where I was getting back into school and I was like, I'm gonna get to where I can be financially stable and then we can try again. Anyways I kept getting really bad period cramps for like 3 weeks and my friends told me to take a pregnancy test. I was like okay but I'm not gonna be pregnant, I don't think it works that way. I bought one and went home and took it. I was sitting there looking at it and I was thinking I'm not gonna be pregnant, I'm not even gonna get my hopes up- and then the first line turned pink, and then the second one! I started crying. I went outside and sat on my front porch waiting for him to get home. When he got home, I was holding the test. I was like- are you ready to be a daddy? And he saw the test. He thought it was a prank and was like- which one of ur friends peed on this?... Then when he noticed I had been crying he was like o my god. This is real. He was so happy that after 8 years together we were finnaly making an addition to our family.
Thank you so much. I got a bit squiggly and happy from that <3
i wish i could get that glow! i love it!! And ANewMother, first off i want to say i think you will be a great mother, not only did you decide to do a brave thing, like another girl in this forum topic, and keep the child by yourself at such a young age, but you also walked away from an abusive relationship for your child, recognizing it was in danger. as for being awkward around children, believe me honey, that's now behind you. You will get very comfortable with your child, she/he will help you grow as a person, we all have those moments in our life, and this is yours. And remember, clearly grandpa loves the little squirt, if you ever need advice you know you could ask him :) clearly he did pretty good with you! Enjoy your little one and i wish you all the best for both your lives! :)
Ive never had to tell my hubby i was pregnant,he knew before i did on all 4 of my pregnancies lol..he would say "so we are having another baby then honey" and id be like what no were not lol,he said i always have this amazing glow when im pregnant so he straight away
Mine was completely unplanned, actually! But I had to break up with my now ex because he was planning to cause a miscarriage. He even talked about punching my stomach, acting very romantic when he said that oh I was mad! He took no responsibility, I had to make decisions myself because he wouldn't talk to me about it, all he said was "We're going to induce a miscarriage" and stopped it there. No matter how much I tried to talk to him about it he would interrupt me with "I'm gonna go smoke a cigarette" or "I'm gonna go game". He acted like everything was fine.
Then guess what? He tried to say to my dad that there's still time for an abortion and guess what the ex got out of that? A big, "F**k you and stay away from her, we made our decision." and plus, he wanted to come live with me to help me because he 'still loved me'. My dad said if he loved me, he wouldn't have pushed me off like that. Which is true, my ex did nothing but push my words and self away.
What ***** more is my ex is 19, and I'm 17. I thought I was supposed to be the one freaking out but all I did was cry in shame at first when the test came back positive, because you know, I'm only 17! I didn't come up with miscarriage, I actually thought of abortion, but then adoption, but now I'm keeping the child. I literally thought of those three, nothing else. Miscarriages are a terrible thing, and punching your girlfriend's stomach is an abusive thought.
It still scares me sometimes, I usually feel as though I'll be a terrible mother and fail at parenting, because I honestly get awkward around children, especially babies.
Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna screw up, but then I realize that I'm planning on taking violin classes then see about talking my child into it if they're interested in awesome violin duets. Then my friends want to raise the child into an assassin. Yup. The power of friends and large ideas.
