My husband and I have been together for 4 years, and married for 4 years as of this March. We have a pretty big age gap of 10 years (he's 35 I'm 25)... but we meet in the middle when it comes to mentality, humor, and maturity. He was shocked! This baby was a big surprise for us.. but he surprised me with his excitement and joy once the idea of new baby settled in.
I am 24 and Dh is 29. We have been together for 6.5 years and married for 5.5. I called him crying. I was just full of a lot of different emotions considering we had recently experienced a MMC. He was very excited and reassuring. He is a very positive happy-go-lucky person and I'm a worrier.
What is your age difference? He's about 6 months younger than me How long have you been together? Started dating in 2008, married since 2012 How did they handling the news of your pregnancy? He has been cautiously optimistic. He saw the stick on the bathroom sink and didn't realize that even a super faint line means something, I explained that and he's starting to get more excited (started talking about being a 4 person family yesterday). He will be beyond excited once we get a little further on, for now he's nervous for me to get too excited and be disappointed.
What is your age difference? 2 years. I'm 31 and he is 29. How long have you been together? We've been together 6 years, married 4. How did they handling the news of your pregnancy? He handled it okay. Honestly, I know he wasn't as ready as I was for #2, and we by no means expected it to happen so quickly. We weren't even planning on TTC until this month, but decided to start NTNP a little sooner. However, he responded very similarly to the news of my first pregnancy, so maybe that's just him. He started showing real excitement the last time after the first u/s.
DH is 25, I'm 23. Together 4 years this month. Married 1 year 3 months. This is my fourth pregnancy so he was terrified. My last MC was only a month ago. When I said to him "I think I'm pregnant" he just said "What! Again?!?" He's taking the more cautious side and I'm thinking about all the details, announcements, things to buy, etc.
My husband is 27, like me, but I'm 2 months older. We met in our first class of college so we have known each other for 9 years, dating for 8, married for 5. My husband is excited. This pregnancy was the result of a one night "what the heck! Why not?" so I am still a bit freaked out about having #3 while we both work 70-80 hrs a week but he's totally calm about it. He would have 8 kids if I let him!
DD1 6.2011 DD2 4.2013 - vbac DS1 9.2016 - vbac, team green Baby #4 due 9.2018
I just turned 37 on New Years Eve..hubs will be 40 in May...so about two and a half years apart.
Two of our mutual friends set us up and the rest is history. I'm forever grateful to those crazy gals!!! Because of them, I've become a wife and a mother.
We have been together a little over two years, married a year and 4 months and have a six month old son....now expecting number 2
When I showed him the test, he couldn't believe it. He said "you're kidding right...that's an old test"...
I'll be 28 next week and hubby is 29. We've been together almost 8 years and married for 4. He guessed I was pregnant as I was trying to come up with a fun way to tell him and he's cautiously optimistic for this pregnancy after 2 losses this summer, hoping all works out!
My husband is a year older than me, I'm 21 and he's 22. We met in middle school and have been together for 9 years in April and married for almost 7 months. He's more excited than I expected him to be this early on. He comes home every day with this sudden revelation as to what needs to be done. Yesterday it was moving our bedroom upstairs to put the nursery in the downstairs bedroom because he didn't want to risk falling down the stairs with the baby. Apparently this has to happen ASAP even though I explained that regardless of where our room is we will still have to travel the stairs with the baby lol! I guess we're hauling some furniture this weekend
What is your age difference? DH is about 4.5 years older than I am. How long have you been together? We met in 2002, started dating in 2003 and were married in 2008. How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? Great! With DD, we got pregnant on the first try and he was a little overwhelmed at first. This time, we had been trying for a while so he was really "rooting" for the BFP whole-heartedly. It's still early so he's holding back a bit...but his initial response was great and I know he'll get more excited assuming things move along smoothly.
What is your age difference? DH is almost exactly 1 1/2 years older than me (1 year, 6 months and 1 day to be exact) How long have you been together? 16 years this month (although we've technically known each other a little longer than that since we met--once and only once, at a friend's party--the summer before we started dating), married for 11 in June of this year. We were high school sweethearts. How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? He was excited! We've been trying for over a year, so he was happy it finally paid off, although I'm sure he was cautiously optimistic, considering our previous CP.
We are both 28, he is 3 months younger We have been together for 4.5 years but have known each other since we were 10. Got married almost 3 yrs ago He was super excited and shocked when I told him. After months and months of trying I think he was relieved his boys could still swim.
Dh just turned 37 and I will be 30 next month so about 7 1/2 years. We've been together a little over 2 years married for 8 months. We gave been trying for 14 months and had 3 confirmed MCs so while he was excited we are both nervous. Hoping this one is sticky.

I'm 28 and my husband is 29. We've been together for 12 years and married for 5 years. We were together when I took the test. We were both in shock but happy and anxious at the same time! More happiness is coming and the anxiety is lessening.
What is your age difference? DH and I are both 33. I am two weeks older.
How long have you been together? We have been together for almost 17 years and married for 11 years.
How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? I showed him the test as soon as I saw it was positive. We both cried and were so happy. It's been a very emotional few months since our loss in July.
I'm 32 and my husband is 31. We went to school together but were in separate crowds, so we didn't really know each other. We both did our separate things after HS (went to college out of state, studied abroad etc) and after graduating came back to our hometown to work. We got together about 5 years ago and have been married for 4.
We tried awhile for this babe and were starting to get concerned. I decided to POAS on NYE, a day before AF was supposed to arrive and there was the BFP. I shared the news with him by sending a text from the bathroom (he was in the other room) that had a pic of the stick and "happy new year, daddy". My 18m old was in the same room with him and we all had a group hug when I came in. He's super happy, but not getting excited just yet. He wants to wait to tell others since he's weary about our past MC. Fingers crossed for stickiness!
How long have you been together? Together since 2007. Married since 2011.
How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? My first, with shock and eventually excitement. This one, disbelief and then excitement. He's been bugging me for another kid since not long after we had our daughter.
What is your age difference? He is 2 years older How long have you been together? 10 years. Married 4 years in March How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? I woke him up crying since I really didn't expect this. He was calm and reassuring that everything was going to be ok. He was more excited then me initially.
What is your age difference? - I am 26 and DH is 34, we're 8 years apart.
How long have you been together? - We've been together 3 years now married for 1.5
How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? - he was completely elated, once he was awake. I temp at 4 am every morning and after temping I fell back asleep. I dreamt that I got a positive HPT and that it also somehow told me it was a girl. Lol. But I woke up and had to pee so I tested on a hunch. When I saw the nice little "pregnant" on the CBD test I accidentally opened the door with the lights on and half woke DH. I told him he was drinking alone for NYE that night and he said "I hope my wife doesn't find out." I went and shook him and he asked if he dreamt it or if I was really pregnant. I told him again and he said "yay" then fell back asleep. When he woke up he celebrated properly. It was just so funny!
We're high school sweethearts, together 11 years, married this past May.
She looked at me with disbelief and said, but is that even real? The line is faint, does that mean it worked? lol She's a little clueless sometimes...also, as an avid gamer, was a bit distracted. We both laughed and cried and are cautiously optimistic hoping for it to stick. She's already given it a name (one that i'm not crazy about...but she looks so cute every time she says it).
ME: 28 Wife: 28
Together since June 2005 - Married May 2015 - TTC since July 2015
My husband is 4 months older than me, so we're pretty much the same age. We have been together for over 7 years and married for almost 2 years. My husband was soooo excited and happy when I told him. I was trying to take a test secretly but he kept coming in the bathroom and messing with me lol, luckily he didn't see. I wasn't expecting it to be positive so when I waited a few minutes and looked at the test I was in shock. I came out of the bathroom and was gonna try to figure out a cute way to tell him, but he knew something was up the second he saw me cause I couldn't stop smiling. I showed him the test and he's like "what? what's that mean?" So i told him and he was super happy but made me take a digital test to be sure lol
What is your age difference? We're both 29 - I'm 4 months older. Turning 30 in September - feeling much better about that number with such a special gift to celebrate.
How long have you been together? Met on the first day of college where he became one of my closest guy friends, didn't date until after college. Together 4 years, married 2 - yes it took him 6 years to ask me out.
How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? He was excited but a little surprised. We started NPNT in November and I think he was hoping for many many months of practice first. He should have known better though because DD was a surprise.
What is your age difference? I'm 14 months older than him. I'll be 31 on Tuesday and he will be 30 in March.
How long have you been together? Started dating in 2008, engaged in 2011 and married since 2013.

We have been together since November 2003, but we didn't get married till July 2013 (military life kept us and our family members training and deploying).
It was a big surprise for us both as I went in to the VA for a check-up and to get xrays. He was very happy and excited. As soon as i got home he was there to great me at the door with a huge hug. I am the worry wart due to our precious heartbreak, but I can't help but get excited when he is around.
My DH and are are only about four months apart in age, both 32. We have been dating almost 11 years now but only married for a little over a year and a half. When I told him I was pregnant, it definitely caught him off guard. He was happy but also very cautious because of our recent loss.
My DH and I are 3.5 years apart. He just made 33 and I'm 29.
We started dating December 2004, married October 2008.
I told him on Christmas Eve with a present. He was ecstatic. We had some fertility issues so getting pregnant is difficult. We were both near our breaking points with TTC so he was very happy and relieved.
What is your age difference? He's older by a year and a half. How long have you been together? We've been together 9 years, married 6 years. How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? I was on the fence about trying for a third and was really back and forth about it. He told me he was happy with two. One day I convinced him we should have a third, and then I got nervous again. At that point he said "now that you've got me excited to have another you're not changing your mind again." So we officially decided to ttc and when we got our bfp he told all the guys at work that day. I was like "OMG why?" he said "I can't help it, I'm really excited."
What is your age difference? We are both 34 and I am 4 months older
How long have you been together? Together for 10 years (daaaaaaang...) married for 2.5 How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? Cautious excitement. With my first we had a few scares in the beginning, but everything turned out fine So he didn't really accept it until after my 3rd beta. But then he was super excited and wanted to tell everyone! Ive managed to keep him at bay, only telling our families, and he's convinced its another boy.
What is your age difference? Less that six months. He just turned 34, and I will be 34 at the end of June. How long have you been together? 15.5 years. We will have been married for 11 years in May. How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? Happy and excited, but my DH is extremely level, so he kind of said a mild "yay" and went back to sleep, lol. We also had a loss recently, so I think he is hedging his emotions for now.
Well we have been married for 2 years he works for Mercedes-Benz. We are both 27 only a couple months apart. We met through friends. We have been together for 6 years. He is just hmmm ok I guess he hasn't been excited I guess he will when I start showing more and when he have our ultrasound
How long have you been together? Together since 2004, married since 2010 How did they handle the news of your pregnancy? Great! He wasn't surprised. The day before I said "My period is due but I don't feel my normal PMS symptoms. Usually I feel it coming on." and then the next day a BFP. I told him right away. Nothing fancy.
How long have you been together? We've known each other since 1998, dating since 2004, married since 2010... apparently we like to take our time doing things!
