How to tell Husband that we may be pregnant if we weren't trying?

Question

Ok so my husband and I have gone back and forth on the subject of having kids since June. One minute he wants them now and the next he doesn't. Well I lost my grandmother in june and had to go out of town for a month to deal with her stuff and during that month I stopped taking the pill. I haven't been on the pill since June and now I think we may be pregnant. How do I tell him? He is right now in his No Babies phase, last week he wanted a baby. I also want a creative way to tell him. Please HELP

Answer 1

Take the home pregnancy test and show it to him after you have dipped your urine in it or you can mail it to him even if you leave together.  Am sure he would be speechless and hug you afterward.  Some men are never ready for a baby until the baby is here

Answer 2

It may help to prepare him for a few days beforehand if you think it'll help lessen the shock.  You can say things like "You would be such a wonderful father" and take his hands lovingly, or wistfully say how excited you'd be to raise a family together.

Eventually, make sure when you tell him you are thrilled, smiling, and obviously excited.  If you present it in an apologetic way or ask if he's upset, that's just setting the stage for him to be disappointed at first.  Maybe present him with a positive EPT, baby toy, new father book, etc.  Say that it's going to take BOTH of you a long time to adjust to this and that you never meant to deceive him (with the pill thing.)

Also, allow him some time to be disappointed and upset.  He'll gradually come around, but he'll appreciate your patience if he needs time.  I know it's scary to think your husband might not WANT to be a dad, but he will! :)  Good luck!

well first of all make sure you are preggo first then proceed to tell him. if he is up and down about it then you better be sure if you are when you tell him. if you are then he is gonna have to be ready.

good luck and congrats if you are!

Go buy a bib that says I love my Daddy. Have it gift wrapped and give it to your husband...just say surprise! He will probably be thrilled. You could also cook a  baby friendly meal ie baby back ribs baby potatoes and baby carrots then give him the bib
