Question

OK so here is the question.....?
I have a very strong feeling that I am pregnant. (I am not asking am I) What I want to know is, should I tell my partner even though I am not sure. Should I tell my partner that I believe that I might be pregnant and that my period is late? Not asking am I pregnant!!!!!

Answer 1

It all depends on how you think your partner will react. I too had a VERY strong feeling that I was preggo it just hit me one day like a mac truck and I told my partner. He just thought I was getting ready to start my period well then low and behold POSITIVE!!! Just to play it safe though run out and get a simple pregnancy test to confirm your feeling.

Answer 2

It all depends on if your partner wants to have children? Maybe start out with that question, then it may buffer the shock of the might be pregnant part. I told my husband that my period was late and he ran out for a test right then. I couldn't pee when he got back. He didn't want me to take the test with out him there, because he wanted to find out at the same time that I did. I think it is up to his personality how or when you should tell him.

Answer 3

first off if you know he would be overly happy that you are pregnant i would wait untill you find out for sure . maybe do something cutesey when you tell him . i use to do this . i once took my hubby out to dinner and brought a little gift along wraped up for him it was a baby item that was unmistakable as to what it meant . i had the waitress give it to him with desert . another time i hand made a card that was a riddle it said something like "answer the riddle to take a challange . riddle : pink or blue " then when you open it up it said " now for the challange ! fitting another car seat in the back of the car!" and i drew a baby .
although some may think it is gross , but you can gift wrap your pregnancy test also . we did that to my mom for mothers day one year . the woman has 5 kids , and didnt know what it was LOL my dad happened to see it and asked who was pregnant !
if you think he wont be amused with the thought of a baby comming maybe you should talk to him about his feelings before teling him that you might be . kinda get a feel of what to expect , and wait to tell him when you know for sure if you are or not .
both ways i would wait that way if he is excited you wont get his hopes up just for you to start your cycle .
good luck

I wouldn't tell your partner until you are sure. If you tell him/her now, you could upset the balance of things...if tell your partner you think you might be and your partner is unhappy, it could be the end of your relationship. If you tell your partner you might be pregnant and he/she is very happy, only to find out later that you really aren't, it could be a big let-down for both of you.

If I were you, I'd take a test. If it comes back positive, then tell your partner and you guys can go to your ob/midwife together to confirm it.

Answer 5

I would definitely tell your partner that you are late and that you might be pregnant!! Then you can go get a test together!! Share the experience together!! It's much more exciting if you go through every part of your pregnancy together!! Congratulations!!!!

Answer 6

First of all, if you are irregular, give it a little time, if you are very regular, I would see a doctor, take a pregnancy test something...no need to worry yourself or him unneccesarily. Be armed with the info. If you two have a great relationship and can talk about anything openly and honestly, then yeah, tell him your concerns, if not, be sure first.

Answer 7

Men can be pretty dumb at times, so wait until you know for sure. Then buy like a baby shower card with little socks/shoes or a cute onesie for him to open up to tell him.

Answer 8

yeah. let him know that you are concerned and that way you have someone who can buy a test with you and who can help supoprt you whether you are or aren't.

i would be clear to him that you only THINK you might be, that way he doesn't freak out....like some guys have a tendency to do!

hang in there and i hope things work out.

oh, and before you tell him...be really certain that you think you are....not just like 1 day late.-k-

take care!

Answer 9

find out for sure first. You don't want your partner to worry or get hopes up for no reason.

Answer 10

I would share this. You would have his support. If you go it alone--do you want to be nervous all by yourself? Of course you do have to be sure he won't react badly to the news. There is support out there if you need it.
