It was less than stellar... he was in serious denial and didn't believe me. HAHA
-
He cried and laughed and hugged and kissed me and then insisted I take another test to make sure!
-
"No. Really?" [big grin]
-
So much more emotional than I thought! I was the one who really wanted to TTC, but when he found out I got a BFP he got all teary (this guy never cries or gets overly excited) and kept saying 'we're going to have a baby??' over and over. It's a moment I'll never forget!
-
He was ecstatic!
-
With the last one, he was in complete shock. I told him at night (because I took the test at night) right before he was going to play hockey. He said it was the worst game he has ever played! hahahaha
-
He was in disbelief, but then went back to sleep with his hand on my stomach. In his defense it was around 5am, we were both sure I wouldn't be pregnant that month because of bad timing, and nervous because of a previous loss. He was more excited when we woke up again, but very cautiously so.
-
He goes "whaaaat?, really?" With a huge smile.
-
Disbelief. Upset because it was 4:45 in the morning and he couldn't go back to sleep. In shock most of the day. We didn't think it would happen that fast, and I was really the only one who was gung-ho about ttc.
-
He was shocked and had this excited/embarassed/proud wobbly smile going on, sort of like, "Wow. I totally knocked up my wife."
-
Our first pregnancy was a total surprise...He was shocked but ecstatic and made some comment about how his boys can swim!
-
He kept saying "really?" and asking if I was kidding!!!! That smile was the cutest part though!
-
He was very wary. Didn't want to get too excited because I had a chemical pregnancy a couple months before. It makes me kind of sad, actually, to think back to when I first found out I was pregnant. I wanted to be so excited, but neither of us felt like we could! I think next time around I'm going to try to keep it a secret until I'm 100% sure, then do something special to tell him.
-
No reaction at all. He told me he didn't want to get his hopes up until we got the results of the blood test. It made me sad but I understood his reasoning.
-
With the first one:
Why?
Are you sure?
Shit. Guess you should call a doctor
(Unplanned)With the second one:
Why?
Seriously?
Are you kidding me?
Crap. Sweet!
(Planned) -
Really?
But it was a little anticlimactic because I had some super faint squinters the day before, so he didn't really believe them, but we were actually pretty sure I was pregnant. So his reaction to those were, well, yeah I see something but it doesn't count.
So the next day he knew it would probably be positive, it was, and he was like, 'Really? (Smile). OK let's go back to sleep.' -
@allison: that's how my DH was with my 2nd pregancy too (after a mc @ 7 weeks).
He didn't get excited until he saw the heartbeat. If we have another, I'm going to try to wait awhile as well.
-
The first was excitement. The second he didn't believe me, and made me test again before getting excited.
-
He was estatic. He was skipping/jumping around the house with teary eyes. Then he told me to call the OB stat to get me a script for progesterone.
-
@Rainbow Sprinkles: lmao!!
@allison: @KT326: Awww
That's kind of the reasoning behind DH's lack of enthusiasm. He promised me that the next one will have a better reaction - haha
-
He said " Really? That's great!" And came to give me a big hug. Nothing super exciting, but sweet.
-
He said Really, is this a good thing or a bad thing? I was crying, I was like good. I mean he knew we were trying. Then he gave me a hug and went back to sleep.
-
He didn't believe me because it was faint. He made me stand out on our deck in 'natural light' just to make sure it wasn't an illusion.
-
@prettylizy: HAHA! I had to remind my husband that there are no false positives, only false negatives.
-
He was excited because he knew I was happy about it. We both really wanted to have a baby.
-
@BabyBoecksMom: similar! I gave him the positive test and he was like "are we having a baby?" so I said yes, and he said "congratulations" then went pretty quiet lol!
-
Well I was sure I was pregnant, but already had 2 negatives, but I wanted to test again on Saturday morning (already had negatives on Wednesday and Friday) but I swore I saw a faint line on Friday, he nicely informed it was me wanting it so bad but it wasn't there. But I tested Satruday morning anyways and the faint line was there, I screamed at him to come in the bathroom and he saw it too this time. We both stood there in shock as I was getting ready to leave for the weekend to visit my BFF & wanted to test again.
I made him go to the store to get a digital but it came up error, and then I took another and it was negative. I left for my trip bummed and still not sure if I was or not. Tested the next day 2 times at BFF's house and Sent him a picture text that said "WE ARE FOR SURE HAVING A BABY!" It was a little crazy but as soon as I got home we both laughed, cried, and cuddled on the couch in excitement
-
"Oh Crap!" then a big hug and we both kind of teared up. I was totally in the Oh Crap camp too, what did we get ourselves into even though we really wanted it.
-
ha! I love reading these stories. We plan to TTC in the next year, and I have asked him how he wants me to tell him, or if he wants to test with me. HIs comment "just dont tell me at 6 am and shove pee in my face!" I laughed! I cant keep a secret so I will probably end up doing that!
-
SEE I TOLD YOU WE WEREN"T GOING TO HAVE ANY ISSUES!!!!
prior to ttc, (i had a few close friends that went through both unexpected and multiple BFPs/miscarriages and told him that we may have trouble...)
-
Disbelief.
-
Shock (we weren't trying or planning on trying) and then happiness.
Oh and then bragging about his "super sperm."
-
Aww, these are better than proposal stories.
He didn't get excited until he saw the heartbeat. If we have another, I'm going to try to wait awhile as well.
