What was your husband/boyfriends reaction when he found out you were pregnant?

Question

I'm writing a book and I just need to know some people's stories on that subject :)

so, what did he do?

Answer 1

My hubby had been asking for another child for about a year.  We went on vacation this past Feb.  About 3 weeks after arrive back, I had a dr. appointment.  There were some abnormalities slight foot swelling very mild.  Any way, I met him for lunch to just spent time together.  I did not express my thoughts of my possible pregnancy.  I stop at the drug store on the way home to purchese a hpt.  It took all of 3 sec. to tell me I was pregnant.  So I call him at work,  really casual.  Stuck up conversation,  like how is your day going, are you going to be late, he of course seem confused.  This because I has just left his office about an hour before.   So he said, look I really need to get back to work.  I said ok,  by the way I am pregnant.....love you ....and hung up.   I think it took him all of a sec. to call me back.....suddenly not so busy....He was really excited.  This until he started getting the morning sickness I did not have......which is a whole another story.....we still laugh at that...

Answer 2

He wasn't susprised. But was nervous cause hes almost 29 and i'm only just 20. He already has a 7 year old daughter. But we accepted and was happy. But I lost the baby. It hurt us both, but through it were still together. so maybe we'll try again.

Answer 3

He said, "Oh sh**" then "Are you sure" and looked at the test. A few minutes later, after I had been crying for a little while, he just looked at me and said, "We'll be okay, we can do this."

It wasn't exactly planned, we had only been married for a month when we found out.

We're both very excited now, I think he's more excited than I am some days.

Answer 4

Well...the first time i got pregnant i was 19 and scared to death! i was a dumb kid and made a mistake.

His response was "Are you sure? d**n it, i guess we should get married then"....Romantic huh?

my boyfriend and i made another mistake by getting married "because of the baby" he said. we divorced less than 2 yrs later. he became verbally abusive, and rebellious about becoming a father & husband. in-other-words he didn't want to do all the things a father and husband should do. the divorce was the best thing for him though. we had joint custody of our son and so it made him grow up. he's a great dad now. but it wasn't the "ideal" situation.

I eventually remarried, gained a step-son and 2 yrs later we decided to try for more children. we tried for 3 yrs and after much heartbreak we decided to quit and just enjoy the family we had, then 2 months later i found out we were pregnant. i think i took about 8 pregnancy tests, and each one had two lines....but i couldn't figure out which line was the control line and which line was the result line. i thought the control line was the result line. i kept thinking why is the result line so light..i thought it was suppose to be dark like the control line was showing...i was so confused. lol

so i took the tests and a box to my husband and said..."i think im doing this wrong!" it was so funny that i couldn't figure it out. i had taken SO many tests over the past 3 yrs.

my husband took one look at the box, then a double take at the tests and smile at me and said, "Baby! Your pregnant!" then he called everyone he knew! OMG we were so happy!

we had a little girl. our first! and the first granddaughter. when she was 10 months old we found out that i was pregnant again. i came out of the bathroom laughing and said to my husband "Guess what?" he laughed and said..."another one huh?!" then we hugged.

so i had 1 bad experience and 2 great ones.

Answer 5

After being together for 2 years, he told me he was leaving me, and he hoped our baby and I both died. That is the worst thing I have ever heard in my life but that's what happened. And now I am a single mom of our 3 year old daughter.

Answer 6

My husband just responded with the typical, "We're pregnant?!?!" question accompanied with the silliest face of excitement I think I've ever seen.  I was in tears though.  It was something we had been planning, but for it to finally happen completely overwhelmed me.  I was scared and nervous and excited and all the things a woman could possible feel.  He was great though.  He assured me that we were going to be GREAT parents and that our future child was going to be beautiful and perfect.  He walked around the house for days with the biggest smile on his face.  He was just so cute.

Answer 7

He picked me up & hugged me tightly then ran downstairs to call everyone we knew.

We tried for baby #3 for about 2 months then I finally fell pregnant.

But you should have seen his face when we were told it was twins

Answer 9

My husband was thrilled! He almost cried he was soooo happy! He went outside and screamed he was a daddy! Then he came back in and called everyone to let them know!

Answer 10
