Just as the subject asks, how did you
break the news?
To the baby's daddy, to your family? Any
cute ways?
I'm not preggers yet but i've got a few
ideas in mind for when I am.

Well, the daddy was there when I took the
test, so he already knew. I don't know
how i'm going to break it to my parents,
seeing as my sister just had a baby, and
they were super worried about me getting
pregnant...(opps!) i'm kinda
terrified...But oh well.
But to get my boyfriend in a better mood
about this whole pregnancy, i'm going to
buy a little outfit that says "my daddy,
my sailor, my hero"...He'll love it!

Well, I read about a couple cute things on
another site.
1) get a party invitation and fill it out
with-
date: edd
time: all day
location: name of
hospital
occasion: the birth of
your child
2) put a bun in the oven and tell him to
go look.
3) cupcakes with pink and blue frosting
and a question mark on top.
4) my guy loves the red sox so i'll
probably just go buy a red sox bib or
onesie.
I feel like this month is it! Then again
I feel like that every month. Cross your
fingers!

Mine was unexpected as I was on the pill.
I had a missed period for a week started
feeling dizzy etc. So when my husband
dropped me off the shops to do some food
shopping I got an hpt. He was @ work
then. As soon as I got home I did the
test and there it was 1 bright line and 1
faint line I was hysterical since his aunt
lived across the road I went there just to
make sure that I did the right procedure.
His aunt just said "awww...Another baby in
the family..." told his aunt to pretend
not to know lol then I phoned him up told
him im pregnant (wasnt sure if he's mad)
and he came str8 home and said he didnt
know if we could cope he asked me to take
to take another test so I did. He waited
for the results and it was 2 bright lines
this time. He asked, "do you want this
baby?" I replied "yes..."
he just kissed me and said "i love you and
im happy to have another child with
you...I'm sure we can cope..."

Nothing cute for me. I told my husband I
was late, we went together to buy the
test. I took it and then I was too
scared to look at it so he looked at it
first, told me and then showed it to me.
So I guess he broke it to me!! :lol:

My babies dad was there when I did the
test and he must've seen the look of shock
on my face and took the test and looked at
it himself then smiled!!
To tell my mum I took the test round to
hers and just showed her it!! :d

christmas with out my hubby knowing
wrapped the test up and gave it to him for
one of his christmas gifts. I then gave
my mum and dad each a onesie that said "i
love my grandma" and "grampa's are the
best. I just got lucky that it was
around christmas.

Let's see... With my fiance
i went to the doc to get checked out
because I had an "irregular period" he did
an urine test and came back in the room
and said, 'you're pregnant" we didn't
believe it at first and it took time to
sink in. Since I was bleeding this had to
be confirmed so I went in for an u/s two
days later and saw my little peanut. I
was looking over at what the doc was doing
and as soon as he stopped and started
taking pics I knew... Then he called my
fiancee in and he showed the screen to
both of us and let us listen to his heart!
We were still in shock!! My fiance got
teary eyed and was soo happy!
I went to my mother's house right after
that, but she wasn't there. So she came
in a few minutes later and as I was
walking towards her to show her the u/s
pic and let her know the news she said
"you're pregnant aren't you?" I said
yesss...She said "i knew it, I had a
feeling"
to my step father's mother (nana)
we were all gathered during christmas and
my brother and I went to sit down beside
her to take a picture and "uncle ken"
shouted out "we now have 2 and a half
generations captured in that picture" she
said "what do you mean, where's the half?"
I got up and showed her my belly.

I had planned on getting a lil teddy bear
that you can record on and record with
arm's wide open to give to my bf and give
it to him for our anniversary. But the
test was neagtive again. When I did
finally find out I went to his work and he
jus looked at me and said you're pregnant
aren't you. So nothing special that time.
I still havent told my mom yet i'm afraid
of her being disappointed but it is what I
wanted so I know she will eventually
accept it. Still nervous, keep putting it
off!

When I found out, I took a home test, and
my boyfriend looked at it before I did.
When he turned around and looked at me, I
knew what it said by the look on his
face... It was him wanting to be ecstatic
but wanting to make sure it was ok first.
Lol

i wanted to tell you that i've been there.
My mom and dad said they were
disappointed and... Worse...
Embarrassed. It was bad. Anyway, they're
ok now, and I think my mom is getting a
little excited. So, just suck it up and
tell them (it's best to just get it
overwith, then you don't have to worry).
It might be bad or uncomfortable at first,
but she will come around, I promise. And
you'll feel better.
