3rd Trimester
F/U to funny or cruel?
I finally got up the nerve to fake out my DH and tell him my water broke (for those that didn't see OP, I have a scheduled C-section and since he won't get the true "rush to the hospital" experience, I thought it would be funny to see his reaction).
He was in the other room when I said "um, honey......I think my water just broke." It took him a second and he slowly walked in the room with a stunned look on his face. It didn't take him long to know I was kidding, because I couldn't hold in the laughter. He was totally freaked for the few seconds though.
He already doesn't get the full daddy birth experience, so at least he felt that part for a second :-) Totally worth it!

Poor DH!
Don't loose heart. With my first, I was really sad that I wasn't going to get the, "Honey - it's TIME!" experience...
Well DS decided to come a week before the scheduled c/s. Woke up in labor and contractions were 3 minutes apart by the time I go to the hospital! They got me in the OR very quickly for a routine c/s, so everything was okay...but I was very happy to be able to say I at least know what a contraction feels like! And that my body knew what it was supposed to do, even if DS wasn't in the correct position for a successful vaginal birth!
HEHE, I wouldn't do that to my DH because we're planning a vaginal birth, but WTG for giving him a small taste of the actual experience!!
I saw the funniest April fools joke though. A woman took her very young babies diaper and wrote on the front of it "I'm going to be a big brother" and asked her DH to change the baby's diaper. She was taping the whole thing and his reaction was priceless! I think the baby was only like 9 weeks old, but I think spring time would still be pretty funny for those of us due in summer and fall!!
