My hubby and I have been trying to get pregnant about 3 months. I'm over a week late and my breasts have been killing me so I'm going to take a test tomorrow morning (wish me luck!). The thing is, I'm so paranoid about complications (this will be my first baby) that I'm worried about telling my husband I'm pregnant before I see the doctor. I don't want to get his hopes up in case something is not right. So... if the test is positive should i run around the house screaming or just chill till i see the doc?

You should tell him! When I found out I took the test right to him and got excited together. I also had alot of cramping which I didnt know what a symptom so I thought something was wrong so I just let him know that the test says positive but we wouldn't get OVER excited and tell everyone until I went to the doctor to make sure everything was fine. Then I researched it and cramping is normal. Everyone gets paranoid and thinks that something bad will happen. Don't worry about it and stress yourself out, everything will be fine.

Well then dont tell him until the doctor confirms you are pregnant. That way you wont get his hopes up and then disappoint him later if you arent pregnant. Better to tell him after the test whether you are pregnant or not because then he would know right away and would not be tense waiting for the results.

You are no more the parent than he is , If you are pregnant it is with his baby as well. After you he should be the first to know. If something doesn't go right it is his loss as well. Reverse the situation and how would you feel if you found out he knew about your baby and just kept it to himself for a while. Besides it can take several weeks to get in for the first appointment.. do you really think you can keep it to yourself?

Tell him right away. If you run around the house screaming with joy don't you want someone to scream with you? Don't let him feel left out. Tell him and invite him to the Dr. with you, it's a joint adventure and both of you should be involved all the way through. Good luck and God Bless!!

Only you can answer this question. You have to do what feels right for you. Please don't have a lot of fear in this either. Complcations can happen, but are not a normal thing. Unless you have something wrong with you or your husband has something wrong, genetically, you will probably have a very healthy pregnancy and healthy baby as well. Best of luck to you both.

Have him with you when you take the pregnancy test. He knows the risks of complications just like you do. Not only that but it makes looking for that positive sign less nerve racking if he's with you..
you shouldn't keep things from your husband anyway, even if it is to protect him.....

tell him right away, if a test comes out positive, it is positive for sure and going to the doctor won't make a difference on the results, but don't go jumping around the house, that's dangerous and it can cause miscarriage.....just tell him calmly.....

Tell him ASAP, in person of course. You are sweet to want to protect him from disappointment, however, you will need support if you do have problems. Think of a cute way to tell him so you will have a great memory to look back on. Good luck!

There is always the possibility of complication with every pregnancy. The best thing to do is, tell your husband. That way you will go through it together.
