With Kiya, my boyfriend was in Auckland while I was living in Picton. I rung him up and said "Happy birthday! Sit down..." (yes, it was actually his birthday)

With Josiah, Nat was waiting outside the bathroom for me! Didn't get a chance to say more than "it's positive"

With Xavier, I did a test while Nat was at school (he's a science teacher), then I took the positive test to his class (when I knew he had a free period) and showed him!

Next time, I'm thinking about taking a picture of the positive test and PXTing him with "Guess what!"

I wanted to do something big and special like maybe buying a little piece of baby clothing and giving it to him over dinner but after 15 months of trying i got too impatient! lol and shoved the test in his face to which he said " get that out of my damb face man!!!!! you Pissed on it!!!!" lol then i said "shut up and have a look" and he said "yeah and?...I dunno what those things are meant to mean!!" so that did kinda take away a bit of the excitment! lol. With my first son it was a big supprise so when i found out i drove like a maniac over to my sisters where DH was visiting and told him quietly then he cuddled me and would not speak about it until i was well over 5 months!! (he obviously took a bit of getting use to it!!).

I walked outside to where DH was working under the bonnet of my car, and just stuck the test under his nose ...my mouth was hanging open and I couldn't say a word. He looked at it, looked at me, then stood straight up up in shock and whacked his head on the bonnet! Then we both just sat on the step and stared at the double line ... and then just about ran down to the chemist to get more tests!!

(Unfotunately it was the first of 3 chemical pregnancies for those of you who are wondering where the hell the ginger got a BFP from!)]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2007 08:33:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5994&PID=115631&title=how-did-you-tell-dh-dp#115631 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5994&PID=115622&title=how-did-you-tell-dh-dp#115622 Author: peanut butter

Mine could guess before I could. We were in Florence eating Pizza and I can normally only manage a couple of slices before I am full and here I was, big smile on my face munching my way through my entire pizza and eyeing up his. he was struggling at halfway. he looked at me and saif "you are pregnant" I said 'no i'm not, I'm drinking wine, I cant be". A couple of days later we stopped at a French chemist and with lots of sign language managed to buy a preg test. We then stopped at an autogrill (restaurant on the motorway) and I went to the loo. He paced outside. I came out saying "I think I did it wrong, it's all purple" Then we looked again and there were 2 little lines. We both sat in the car going "Woah, woah, woah" for about 30 mins. Then I cried and he laughed at me. ]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2007 08:10:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5994&PID=115622&title=how-did-you-tell-dh-dp#115622 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5994&PID=115600&title=how-did-you-tell-dh-dp#115600 Author: busymum

First time, I thought I had diabetes, not that I was pregnant, and he came home from work at lunchtime to find me in bed (I had bleeding)and he just said, your pregnant, aren't you, and I burst into tears. Second time, I knew I was before I even skipped a period. I tested the day I was due and got a faint BFP, tested againt he next day, drove doewn to his work and told him, but he wouldn't beleive me until I had been to Dr or midwife to confirm... Guess he beleives me now..

Hehehe lots of neat ideas. I got tested at the GPs when I was there for something completly different, so DH wasnt waiting for news when I got home. I did go straight from the GPs to the lab to get blood tests, so rang DH to tell him I was running late, but didnt tell him why. When I got home, I was very cool and calm about it all, just casually asking "what are you doing next Weds afternoon?" - he gave me a long winded answer about the things he had on, and appointments that he had etc and when he was finished and asked "why"....I replied by saying " Well, if you arent busy I wondered if you would like to come to my first antenatal appointment?"...he was floored! ]]> Mon, 05 Mar 2007 18:55:36 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5994&PID=115508&title=how-did-you-tell-dh-dp#115508 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5994&PID=115501&title=how-did-you-tell-dh-dp#115501 Author: mummy_becks

The first one he was with me as we got it done for free somewhere (so can't remember). The second time after me looking at the calendar and trying to work out dates he started to think. My luck would be I brought a bottle of wine at the shopping and then after working out I was very late I went into town and got a test. After I stuffed up the first (left it too long) and then did the second and it was a BFP I rang him at work. We did the grapejuice thing with his parents they were very happy. With my parents we were at a big family party and so we told them straight away just as my mum was getting me a glass of wine.]]> Mon, 05 Mar 2007 18:34:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5994&PID=115501&title=how-did-you-tell-dh-dp#115501 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5994&PID=115474&title=how-did-you-tell-dh-dp#115474 Author: JD

Lol, my wee tests were negative, so I had a blood test done and texted DH when I rang the doctor to have it confirmed.

Just as a way to get my mind off the waiting, I thought I might try and think of a different way to let DH know when we get the BFP.

Did anyone do something different? Or can you think of any fun ways to let your DH know?

Since my first one was unplanned and I was young, it was a bit of a scary time, but this time, it will be planned and very exciting so I thought a fun way to let him know would be cool!

Any ideas?]]> Mon, 05 Mar 2007 15:12:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5994&PID=115415&title=how-did-you-tell-dh-dp#115415
