How did the baby's father react when you first told him?

How did yalls babies fathers react when yall first told them? I know my boyfriend was in shock at first and now he's starting to come around and joke with me about it and actually talk about it. It scared me at first because he didn't really want to discuss it but now he's starting to seem more open to it and happy.

He was the one who made me test! I didnt think i was.. no symptoms etc was only 2 days late which is normal for me. Im still in disbelief even w the constantly being sick part. Hes beyond excited. I was mad when i first found out. I took the test walked in the living room and threw it at him. Said f you and walked away and cried. Needless to say this was not planned. And the ONLY reason i was so mad was bc i just bought a new car 2 days before i found out. So 400$ car payment for the next 5 yrs plus an 80$ copay every time i go to my obgyn office. But im finally accepting it. Our first ultrasound next wk so i may accept it fully then.

I sent my husband to the store for tests while I made lunch because I'd felt really sick from the smell of different perfume at church and I love coffee.  This is our 5th and I'm so thankful for a husband that is just as excited about this one as he was the day we found out about our first.

My boyfriend always took care of tummy since I told him about my delayed period, but I was not even thinking about me being pregnant. Then I was told to take the test after three months and turned out positive, I showed him the test then he smiled and hugged me while still smiling. Guess he really did expect it. :)

My boyfriend told me I was pregnant. I wasn't feeling so good and I just didn't want to go get a test because I secretly didn't want to accept it. So when we were out one day he pick one up and told me to go take it. POSITIVE. He was so excited he almost cried:) I've become more comfortable with the idea as well

My fiance didn't believe me at first...I showed him the test and it was very faint, so he said he wasn't getting excited until I took one the next morning. I took one the next morning and it was darker and he couldnt stop smiling! He went to work and told everyone!

My boyfriend and I had broken up a few days after doing it....and so I was alone :/ I missed my period for a few weeks and was just thinking it was stress but I bought a pregnancy test anyway.....within 5 seconds after doing it it was a really bright positive...I took two more after that and when they were all positive I cried myself to sleep after sending him a picture of all 3 tests....all he said  was "crap....." of course he's excited and we are back together but sometimes I wonder if he really wants to be with me or if its just cause im pregnant...but now he and I are so excited to welcome our little angel in the world

Horrible! Our relationship was in a bad place, it wasn't what we wanted at the time. I bawled, he freaked out. But when the next morning came around he completely changed. He was excited andtold me he was ready to have a family and get married. Now he is over protective of anything I do lol he wants his baby girls to be as healthy as can be.

I was told after me and my husband lost our first baby two years that it was probably impossible for me to have kids so when I went to my lady doc she did all these test and told me that there is a then peace of muscle in my cervix I think I don't remember that was not suppose to be there idk it was all I. Doctor language very confusing but me and my husband kept trying after that any way thinking we could get lucky and always got let down. Well in January I had a very strange period and we were like its never been that way so February came and no period at so I was like well I'll take a test and see it came back negative so we didn't think anything of it I've missed months before then march came still no period so we were like okay we will wait till the end of the month and see if my period is just late ya know.. still nothing so we went to the health department who and half weeks ago and turns out that home test was a dud. I'm 14 weeks today with a healthy baby

My guy was absolutely speechless, I was a mess when I told him because it was early in our relationship. I told him this was his one chance to break free without any consequences and he just grabbed me into his arms and said home was the only place where I was. He didn't really set his mind on it until my first ultrasound, then it really kicked in and he was grinning from ear to ear.

He had been telling me for about two weeks I was and I was in total denial finally he took me to the store and bought a test and we were tight on money so I was mad at him for wasting the money on a test I knew would come back negative,  well it was positive and I instantly starting freaking out and crying. He was next door at my uncle's house so I marched over there and in front of everyone yelled at him well good job you kncoked me up lol. He just stood there let me cry and yell and when I got quiet he smiled and asked me if I was done and I said yes lol and then asked me why are you so upset and I said i dont know! Its scary to think about everything that will change (I dont handle changes well it gives me major anxiety) and he just kissed me and told me it would all be ok. He was very very excited, im currently 33 weeks and every time he meets someone new or has seen some one in awhile literally one of the first things he tells them is hes going to be a dad

I definitely didn't believe I was pregnant but he did. I took 3 test and then scheduled a urine test with my doctor. That still wasn't enough so I asked for an Ultrasound a week or 2 later. He was crying tears of joy and I was crying tears th sadness. Hahah, but I came around to the thought of having a little one with his help! :) This honestly has created a stronger bond between Him and I. We are truly happy and very excited!!!

Lmao me and my boyfriend started googling the rarity of getting a false positive. Then the next day when we got another positive, we googled the rarity of having 2 false positives. When it finally sunk in he put one arm around me and one on my tummy and told me he loved us both.

My hubby and I started trying after august 1st last year when our son turned 1 and we wasn't having much luck and I took a fertility supplement called fertilaid for two weeks and figured it wasn't working but it regulated my period!

on my birthday we went to the movies and a romantic dinner then came home and had good ol birthday sex (nov 16th)

We were planning our wedding and got married December 1st 2013 and I was supposed to start my period that day and didn't so on the 3rd I took a test and it was a positive!!:)))
went in the living room and told my hubby and he just looked at me with the biggest smile and said really?? He said he thought it was gonna be another negative test! Lol
Went to the doctor that week and I was 5 weeks pregnant!!:)

My hubby was very happy and supportive from the start since baby was pretty much planned anyway!!:)
I'm the one that's still in shock! I always tell him I can't believe I'm blah blah weeks and he's like I knowww you've told me already! Lol
