Pregnant after a Loss

Quick Question for you KU ladies :)

How did you tell your DH about the baby? How long did you wait to tell him?

Re: Quick Question for you KU ladies :)

  • I found out late on a Saturday night (he was out with friends) and I ended up not telling him till monday evening because I couldnt find the perfect timing on Sunday! He doesnt know that I waited a day or two to tell him tho lol...

    I left a sleeper on our bed that says "I love Daddy" with a little note. He found it when he walked into our bedroom.

  • I shared the BFP stick with him immediately.  Because of our loss history, we were happy, but also very cautiously guarded with our excitement.

  • I surprised him with the video camera and tests when he came home from work the night I got the BFP (s). I can't keep secrets, least of all from him.

    How are you doing, my dear?

    Awww, this is sweet. I can't wait for your report come January on DH's reaction. BD your booty off this cycle, lady!

  • i left the stick on the bathroom counter so he could see it when he got up and have time to take it in.  he pretended not to see it, i guess out of fear until i seduced him and then he picked it up and was like "is this for real" and i said yes
  • Aw, Mindy... Girl, you and DH need to support each other through this time. I'm sure he would really want to know right away. I hope this is your cycle!

    I spur of the moment decided to run to the dollar tree on a lunch break to get tests and test at lunch (both BFPs happened in between visitors, so I had limited time). I texted DH the pic of the positive. :) He was ecstatic.

     Lol! That's what I do when I get a +opk.. I text a picture of the smiley to DH and he comes home for "lunch"  :)

  • We have cats and he hates cleaning the litter so I gave him a gift bag with a pooper scooper in it...Took him a couple minutes, but he caught on

     LOL! Great idea! We have a cat too.

  • My re's office left me a message on my cell Friday afternoon but I didn't listen to it until Saturday morning. Dh was OOT until late Friday night and I wanted him to be right there incase I needed his shoulder again.

    SO I listened to the message and was pleasantly surprised (I was 150% convinced I wasn't pg). I went into my closet where I had a little bag stashed and gave it to him and said "we can finally use this".

    We were both over the moon!

  • I jumped on the bed first thing in the morning w/ the +HPT. We'd been trying pretty hard, so I wasn't trying to do some big elaborate surprise :)

  • My DH was coming home from an out of town trip the day I tested.  I had to hold it in all day at work.  When he walked in the door that night I said welcome home daddy and gave him a big hug.  He said aww thanks babe, I missed you too.  So I looked him square in the eye and say "no, welcome home....daddy".  It clicked for him then and he was very excited!
