Two days later with a definitive digital in hand I told him for sure over Skype. I had great dreams of picking him up from the airport with a welcome home Daddy sign, but there was no way I could last two weeks and not tell him! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-228128 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 06:45:24 +0000 Adira 228128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was in the office playing video games and I walked up to him with the HPT and just blurted it out: "I'm pregnant!" hahaha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-228071 Fri, 20 Jul 2012 02:41:36 +0000 looch 228071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was waiting outside the bathroom door while I POAS. No big reveal there! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227851 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:22:52 +0000 autumnlove 227851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was crying when he got home from work and he just knew! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227847 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:21:04 +0000 mrsjyw 227847@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found out thirty min before DH got home... and had started a fire in the fireplace.... so i didn't have the chance to go out and buy diapers, or any other baby item. :P</p> <p>I printed out a pic with EDD and left it with the bfp test on his dresser. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227846 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:20:50 +0000 JessicaMcB 227846@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the pregnancy I miscarried he was pacing outside the bathroom door, so there was no cute way to tell. When I got pregnant with Emma it was right after our miscarriage and I was too emotional to plan anything elaborate and just told him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227844 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:19:13 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 227844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First time I told him when he got back home after an exam (didn't want to say anything that morning because he had a final). Second time, I told him I left a present (the test) in the bathroom. Funny man didn't even realize until I sent him back in a second time with the explicit directions to look at the counter. He had no idea I had bought a test, even though he had paid for it at the register the day before! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227808 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:07:20 +0000 MaisyMay 227808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>First I gave him a new shirt with a onesie inside that he found when he tried it on.<br /> Second time around, I was showing him a set of pics from a trip I had gone on to see my mom, and the last pic was of the test saying "Pregnant." Both times took a few moments to settle in, but he was really excited. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227798 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 22:04:23 +0000 ChuckNorris 227798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband was away on a fire, so I sent him a picture of the test. Knowing he wouldn't know what it meant, I wrote "It's positive!!!!" LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227454 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:15:49 +0000 banana 227454@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He knew when I POAS'd. We both couldn't wait to find out so as soon as it was time, we both went in and turned on the bathroom light and looked. And then we took a picture with the stick as a keepsake. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227450 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:14:03 +0000 leelee 227450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got him a father to be card and wrote June 2012 in it and left it in the bathroom. It was 4am so I got back in bed thinking I would be patient and just wait till he woke up. I was so antsy I told him I wasn't feeling well and asked him to get me some Advil from the bathroom. He woke up all groggy, walked to the bathroom and then suddenly screamed out "Really?!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227446 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 20:12:56 +0000 aprk 227446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He was with me when I POAS. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227365 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:53:21 +0000 cvbee 227365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I POAS super duper early, then I waited til it was time for him to wake up and I brought him coffee in bed, with a stick on top. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227351 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:50:44 +0000 Mommy Finger 227351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I POAS stick before work and he had already left. He knew I was going to but neither of us talked about it all day at work. Not really a conversation to have over im. I got home before him and laid out the positive tests (in a ziploc bag) on top of a onsie of his fav baseball team on our kitchen island so that he would see it when he walked in the door. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227225 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 19:07:57 +0000 Smurfette 227225@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I went back to bed and I couldn't tell if he was up. So I asked him if he was awake, he said half asleep half awake, so I just told him I'm pregnant. Not creative at all like I wanted too, but I couldn't wait to tell him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227173 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:50:24 +0000 Running Elley 227173@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We’d gotten to the point where he wanted to know whenever I was going to POAS so that he could be a support for me. However, he didn’t know that I was going to test on the day that I got my BFP. I had actually had him hide my tests because I knew that I couldn’t hold out. I found them and tested secretly on 8DPO after coming home from a Super Bowl party that 3 pregnant friends were at lol. I told him right away and just showed him the test! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227163 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:48:04 +0000 lilteacherbee 227163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my BFP the Friday before Father's Day, so I gave him a card and inside it I wrote "You're going to be a Daddy!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227162 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:47:52 +0000 Rubies 227162@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I POAS by myself, got ready for work, and before I left I woke up hubs to tell him. He congratulated me. LOL. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227158 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:46:19 +0000 chopsuey 227158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>first time i POAS on my own. and just told him.. umm.. my period is late! the next morning I POAS with him present. HAHA. (he wanted to wait 5 years before we had a baby.. we had been married 8 months). </p> <p>second time, i POAS and came out of the bathroom and said "omg.." and he knew. :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227155 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:45:40 +0000 MamaMoose 227155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I POAS at like 5am and then I woke him up by thrusting the pee stick in his face! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-did-you-tell-dh-you-were-pregnant#post-227152 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 18:44:27 +0000 MrsCastro 227152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>or did he know whenever you POAS? </p>
