how did you tell the daddy?

I'm curious on how the fathers were told and his they reacted?  I'm 20 weeks now and I foundout I was pregnant at 4 weeks due to a missed period. I told my husband by starting with his brother had to leave. We were not trying to get pregnant but I guess this one was meant to be. It had to have been last minute fertilization. I thought I was in the clear of my ovulation day. But I gave him the stick which had a clear positive and he reacted like this...
Oh! I can't wait still you start waddling again!!
This will be our 2nd child.
Our first u threw the pregnancy test at his head and he accused me of having a pregnant friend **** on the stick for me.
So I'm curious on what kinda things dad's said to the positive tests!

I woke in the middle of the night in complete agony. To the point where I couldn't even sit up and I was screaming out in pain. My boyfriend rushed me to the hospital, where I thought they would tell me my appendix had burst.
Nope, the nurse did a pregnancy test and it turned out I was 4+1 pregnant. My boyfriend was with me so he found out at the same time as I did. I was on the pill so it was a massive shock. We were both very stunned and quiet for a long time

I first got pregnant last june... it was planned! My husband (who was my bf of 3 years at the time) was super happy cuz we just knew i was. Once my family found out i was pretty much forced in to abortion (i just graduated high school) they told me if i didnt i was going to ruin my life and my babys life.. so pretty much they brain washed me.

Not even a year later i find out in april i am pregnant... not trying this time! I was at my family doctors and the nurse did the test as we waited for my doctor. I was only 4 weeks at the time and the line showed up instantly! I cried so hard and called my husband (we got married in march) and he herd me crying and his words were sh**! We then decided to not tell anyone one til was 3 months in. The only one who now knows is my MIL. My husband couldnt be anymore happy, I tend to catch him talking to the baby while im sleeping.. ;)

Mine tell this time around was kinda comical we had to go in for our yearly expanse for out health insurance and I already knew I was pregnant but hadn't told my hubby yet so when I went in I told the doc and she played it off because he was in a separate room from me. She finished my exam and went in and did his and as they were finishing up she told him to make sure he takes care of mama and baby and he just looked at her like what the .... Are you talking about I thought he was gonna hit the floor right there in the doc office. On the any home he just kept saying re you sure we don't want anyone kids I thought. ( I believe he was in pure shock still) he's like three and are older to are chaos all the time on the go and we are adding another one to make things more fun. I just told him pull and pray can't work for ever LOL!

I had a dream the night before I took tbd test that I took a pregnancy test, and it was positive so I told him that. He said well you need to go take a test, and when it came back positive he was sooo excited. He was like get your mom up and tell her. We're both first time parents. I was told twice I couldn't get pregnant so it was a happy surprise

We suspected I was pregnant but I was like no I doubt it. I went and bought the test (hubby was at work) I took it it was positive so I left it on the sink for him to see when he got home from work. By that time I was at work so I called on my break and asked did you see what I left in the bathroom for you? He's like no what's that thing on the sink? Im like it's a pregnancy test! Read it! He looked and goes what for real wow congratulations. I said thats all you have to say? He's like I already knew im happy. Smh

I was at a buddies house one night, I skipped my period which wasn't too odd to me because I will skip months at a time sometimes. But she had an extra pregnancy test due to a recent scare and I asked if I could take it. After peeing on it, it appeared positive within seconds. That night, my bd and I were already fighting. He was out with his friends getting f'd up and was because a complete a hole to me but once I found out I took a picture of it and sent it to him. He ignored me. I called his best friend that he was with. At this point I was crying because he was ignoring me. And he best friend which is also my ex was a complete a hole. I was so hurt and mad I just went to bed. He ignored me the whole next day. He continued to ignore me. I finally got a hold of him and cussed him out. I told him if he doesn't stop smoking, and living the party life then he will not be in our child's life. We had trouble for a couple weeks after so but were okay now.

I've always had irregular periods or no periods at all. My husband and I have been together for 8 years now.
He kept asking me for a week when was I supposed to get my period, he kept insisting I was late, but I just ignored him cause like I said, I always had irregular periods. Until one day before he went to work, he went to Walmart and bought me 5 pregnancy test. He just said he's been feeling very nauseous and tired. I guess he was the
with the symptoms lol. When all 5 pregnancy test came up positive he just said "congratulations mommy, I told you so" lol.

I had miss my period for 2 months he kinda knew but I was sure I wasnt pregnant we had gone to a free pregnancy clinic when I was told I was pregnant I was upset because the baby wasn't planned and I thought I couldn't get pregnant because he tried and tried over 3years and nothing.  He was waiting outside like are you or not and I respond no. Then stayed quite and told me he will keep on trying but then I couldnt leave him upset so I told him I was pregnant I was 13weeks when I found out he got all happy kissed me and told me that he would be the best dad that he never had and that the baby will have everything that he didnt have. Im 18weeks 5days and im for sure he will keep his word. First time mommy.

Me n my man have been trying for a little less then two years and he's a second shifter so he doesn't get up usually until 3/4 pm. Well I had to get up early for appointments that day and make him coffee for him to get up at 6 am for court. My positive test was sitting next to his first glass of coffee and at first he looked at it weird and then looked at me and goes "your joking right? Or your serious???? I'm a daddy again?!!!!??"

We were trying to get pregnant so the time I took a pregnancy test and it had two pick lines I went downstairs and handed it to my husband and said 'what the **** is this?' (Said it excitedly not upset) and my husband was silent as we went to the store to pick a few more tests. Then I ended up giving my husband a onsie that says 'I hooked my daddy's heart'
