how did you tell your DH/SO?

Do you tell him any special way or just blurt it right on out?

With our first ds I wrapped up the pregnancy test and gave it to him as a gift. With our second ds he just knew because I was acting funny and complaining that my boobs were sore. Our third ds was a complete surprise and he was away for training and I had to call him and tell him I gave birth So that was probably the most exciting announcement out of all three.

I just walked out with the pregnancy test and set it on the boat (he was working on it). He just stared at it for a bit. He's not very demonstrative :D

I don't think there was a time when I had to tell him. He seemed to always be able to tell. I guess I have symptoms that were obvious to him. At least one time he told me I was before I even took a test.

He also correctly predicted the gender of all seven of our kids before the ultrasound or birth (for the one time we didn't find out gender ahead of time).

I just told him both times.

When I was pregnant for the first time with the child I miscarried I woke my ah at the time up at 5 am and told him. With Noah I called him since we were not together anymore.

DH knew before I did! I peed on the stick and went back to bed - I didnt think I was pregnant, and it was work-related. I got up a little bit later and came into the bathroom and he told me. I squealed and screamed and jumped up and down. And then we both called off work (so we could go tell our family and spend the day together).

The first time I took the test at Target alone, b/c it wasn't the best timing and if it was negative I didn't want to bother him with the worry. But it wasn't, so I came home to find him sitting at the computer, and I said, "Oh, good, you're sitting down." And he replied, "Did you wreck the rental car?!?!" Then I told him I'd taken a + preg. test, and he didn't say much other than he was going to wait for it to "be confirmed by a dr". I didn't tell him after my first appt that the dr didn't repeat the test--just that, yes, jackass, I really am pregnant, so accept it!

The second time was much better timing for us. I had been sick, so I brought a preg. test and two milk shakes home. I walked in, he inquired about the shakes, and I said, "I'm about to pee on a stick, and either way I think is a cause for celebration!" Having been around the preggers block once, and being in a better place financially and whatnot, he's much happier about this one!

I just told him, actually the last 2 times he was in the bathroom also so he looked the same time I did.
