I just found out I was pregnant yesterday but I haven't told anyone, have you ever done this?

Question

My last period started the 23rd July and we've been trying to conceive so I went to the dr 2 weeks ago but it was a negative test, then I bought a test yesterday and took it in work and it was positive.

I went home after but didn't tell my husband, I feel I want to keep the news to myself until after I visit the dr tmro. Am I weird for not telling him?

Answer 1

No your not weird you sound like you just want to make sure everything is ok first! Tell him when the time is right & im sure he will understand! x

Answer 2

No, your not weird. Its natural for women to hide it until we are sure of something first before spilling the beans. You don't want to tell your hubby and then go to the doc's and it turn out negative. That would be loss of hope so hiding it for a couple of days will be better. I would do the same thing if I was in your position!

Answer 3

no i think what you did is fine, i can understand you want a completely 100% positive answer before suprising you're hubby.

i didn't tell my other half straight away either, i waited for the right time to tell him. where he'd be offguard completely and in a lovely mood and i was 100% positive so when he said the whole 'are you sure, have you seen the doctor, could it be a false result', my answer was a simple, yes, honey, we're definately having another baby - no if's or but's.. it was lovely seeing the look on his face. i hope you get the same response.x

Answer 4

i wouldnt say your weird for not telin him but if it was me then i would tell my partner straight away. its great news. congratulations x

Answer 5

I don't think that's weird! If you feel you need to be sure, that's definitely your right as the pregnant mama. I don't know that I will be able to wait, but I would like to do what you are doing and then be able to show my husband our baby's "first picture." Do what you feel is right for you---after all in 9 months it's never about you again!! Congratulations on your BFP

Answer 6

i don't think your weird. As long as he wont care that you went to the doctor without him to get the news!

Answer 7

No, I think it is the safe approach.  If it was one of those very rare false positives, you don't want to have to break the news to him as well.  It is best to get it confirmed by the doctor.

Answer 8

I think your better of getting it confirmed by the doctor before you tell anyone

Good Luck

Answer 9

NNOOO!!! I suggest it! I told so many people when i was pregnant and then went to the doctor. The doctor then told me that I was most likely going to miscarry! The hardest part is telling people you arn't having a baby anymore! Save yourself some time and emotions and just wait until the doctor give you the thumbs up!

Answer 10

I think he should know that you are pregnant,even if you want to confirm it tomorrow.You should tell him,otherwise he can feel left behind on such an important thing.

You are not weird,it´s just something you have decided,even if I wouldn´t do it this way.

x*x  ;)

Congratulations anyway!!!!!!!!

What I wouldn´t do is telling anyone else,just my husband.

Answer 11

i could not hold the news in but i am a blabber mouth! lol! i can see how having a day or two to get your head round it and get the confirmation from doctor is a good idea too!i don't think its weird!  congratulations!!

Answer 12

No - definitely confirm it first.  Then, find a cute way of telling him.  I put my pregnancy test in a bracelet box and told my husband it was a birthday present for his niece and he should look at it and tell me if its okay.  He was so surprised and thrilled.  I also bought him a pregnancy book for dads and put that in a gift bag.  Have fun telling him.  Good luck.

Answer 13

It's a smart move. Over the counter tests were not meant to replace a doctor's diagnosis. Tomorrow afternoon, you'll know for sure and you can even plan some special way to tell your hubby if you want. To be honest, most people tell only their spouse and maybe a couple close friends prior to 12 weeks. It's always hard to get all excited and tell everyone you know and then have to turn around and tell them you had a miscarriage (especially when everyone's been making a big deal about how excited they are). Just wait till tomorrow before telling him and then decide together when to tell everyone else.

Good luck!

Answer 14

Smart move.  I'm not sure I would be able to keep that kind of news from my husband (even temporarily), but I think you're making the right choice
