I think you should do something special... it can go both ways but for sure he will be happy and its better to remember it with a surprise instead  of a preg test js

Been with my bf for almost 6 years. Who also has 2 kids with his ex but We had our first son 2 years ago. However we were trying for 3 year's and the last year I kinda gave up hope and one day I just felt like I needed to take a test and when it said positive I ran out of the bathroom and showed him. We were so excited. Now we are pregnant with our 2nd son due in Oct and still excited. Our situations are different but telling him sooner than later would be better. Is this something you both wanted or is it a surprise pregnancy? Either way he should support you and I hope you both the best. Congrats!

If it helps me and my partner have been together just over a month and have just found out I'm pregnant and I told him and he's thrilled so just go for it and talk it all through and reassure you're not pressuring him in anyway :)

I went to etsy & bought a fake lottery ticket ... you are able to choose any phrase that you would like to put on it I think up to six words... I put baby loading... 10% complete!
I was really nervous at first too so I thought I would make it a joke and he loved it and to my surprise he's also excited

Well, I hope it goes well.  It does take two to make a baby.  Until you see his reaction (and give it a few days to see where he lands with it), you won't know.  Let us know how it went.

Show him the pregnancy test and say "we are having a baby." He will let you know how he feels about it. My husband was in shock at first and didnt say much. After about 15 minutes he said he was happy and nervous. It has been about a month since I told him and he is really happy and excited now.
