Other half pregnancy announcements!

I'm just curious how you've announced the pregnancy to your other half? I haven't told him yet, I found out on Tuesday and am waiting until we have time together this weekend to share the good news! We have been trying for 2 years since our miscarriage so I'm over joyed, and he's going to be thrilled! We have a little cocker spaniel Woody, so I have a little bandana for him that says 'Big Bro'! I also ordered a nice little box to put the pregnancy test in (one of them, at least because I took about 8 tests just to be certain!!). I'm so excited about telling him and also not having to hide my symptoms. I really want it to be special! How did you announce it? I'm keen to hear others' stories!

I find this hard to imagine, because I didn’t really “announce” to my other half, I told him I was going to do a test, went and did it, and then brought it to show him. There’s no way I could have hidden it! Massive congratulations, and hope someone can help you 😊

I mean, I was 17 so my partner was in the room with me as we turned the test over so I haven’t got much of an announcement to talk about other than, surprise you knocked me up, the test don’t lie😭

The first time I was in A&E for heart palpitations and the doctor actually told me I was pregnant after a blood test, and that as the doctor told me it was the exact moment my fiancé walked through the door!! 😅 the second time I found out just before Valentine’s Day and put my son in a big brother top and wrapped up the test!

Congratulations!! I’m in the same boat as you! Just found out a few days ago and will tell my husband over dinner this weekend. I ordered cupcakes with baby decorations to serve at dessert.

First time I just told him as soon as I found out as it wasn’t planned (but super welcome). Second time I did a test and again just told him.. I never even thought about ‘announcing’ it to him tbh.

I fell pregnant on our honeymoon so i printed all our favourite photos and stuck into a photo album we got from the airport on our way home. At the back I stuck the positive pregnancy tests. There still stuck in there to this day ❤️ Best of luck with the announcement, enjoy every minute it goes so fast 🥰 I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy xx

I made a picture with a photo of us from our engagement shoot and used wooden letters to write Baby (surname) due july 2024 below it. I then laid this on the bed, along with tests, a hat and a baby grow. I then set up my phone to record and played our first dance song in the background. I told him that i changed something in the bedroom and asked him to close his eyes. Then i took him into the room and asked to open his eyes.

@Sophie thanks for sharing 🙂 oh trust me hidding these last 3 days has been tough but I also was still in a happy shock and I've been testing every morning just to realise this is REALLY happening! So so happy I just want him to have a special announcement surprise without having to go to work the next day 😂

@Alice they certainly don't! Are you expecting your second one?

@Becca omg! I can't imagine the face as he walked through the door the 1st time! Awww the 2nd time is super cute!! Love it

@Lena amazing! You'll have to let me know how to surprise went !! I still haven't quite decided how and where but Saturday afternoon he'll receive his surprise one way or another 🙂

@Kristie that's fair enough! I love receiving and organising surprises so definitely always wanted to do this!

@Aimee woaw I love this!! So original 😍 thank you I'm so eager to tell him so we can share this excitement together!! After our 1st loss and no luck TTC for so long, I'm so sooooo ready to be a parent with him 🥰

@Allie that's adorable 🥰 I did something similar the 1st time and layed it out on the bed with a teddy and a baby top that said "I love my daddy". Unfortunately things didn't work out back then so I've been aiming for this announcement to be slightly different and I love the idea of involving our little pooch!

First time I came home after being 5 days late. He got tests on day 4 and he basically watched me pee into cup and cup the test . 2nd time I just took one and was shocked and scared but showed him. ( that one ended in an MMC) this time we were trying and I took it secretly and then lent it on his shoulder as he watched tv. Nothing special lol

I just showed him the test 😂😂

Announcement day today!!! 😍 been getting so haaaaard to hide it until the weekend 😅

ANNOUNCEMENT WAS A SUCCESS! Went for a walk, told my other half to go to a tree a bit further ahead because I wanted to show him a new trick our dog could do 😆 got our dog to sit, put a bandana saying Big Bro and then walked to my other half, called our pooch and he came running over. My man was so happy he burst into tears 🥰 that memory will always stay 💓

@Lexy awww that sounds so lovely❤️doggy played his part well then 😄

@Allie probably should have mentioned that 5mins before I found the right spot in the park, Woody jumped in the muddiest puddle and his bottom half was black 🤣 couldn't have made it up!
