Dear all
I just found out I am pregnant. I am really happy and I cannot wait for my husband to come back home from work to tell him. Although our financial situation is not bad (he just started a new job last week and I work half time), I know he would have liked to have more money.
All my feelings are mixed-up! Should I tell him as a surprise? or should I talk to him in a more serious way? should I wait till he feels more comfortable with his new job? What would you do?
Thank you for your help
G.M

I would tell him when he gets home. I wouldn't do it on the phone b/c i would want to see his face when i told him. I'm 32 weeks pregnant now, and my husband was very nervous about the idea of having a baby. When i told him i was pregnant, he congratulated me!!! But, he has since gotten used to the idea, and now is just as excited as i am. He still stresses about having the money to raise a family, but that is just who he is. Good Luck! and enjoy your pregnancy!

i think of you ought to no longer have babies until eventually you experience greater advantageous approximately your relationship and your husband. babies (remarkable nevertheless they're) are an exceptionally great stress on a relationship. If there are any cracks, the strain of having a baby will chop up them extensive open while you're the two no longer a hundred% into the relationship. babies are very troublesome artwork - no longer the exertions - it is the hassle-free area. The infinite nights of little or no sleep are the toughest area. i'm frightened approximately your husband. He sounds very egocentric, which isn't a competent high quality for the two a father or husband. i be attentive to that's troublesome to do; yet consult with him approximately it. If he only won't be able to deliver himself to delight on your excitement (like maximum adult adult males do) then in keeping with risk he's not the splendid guy for you. in case you do no longer innovations getting any sexual excitement out of your relationship then circulate forward and stay with him. which could be a lonely highway being in a relationship once you do no longer experience enjoyed. lower back, do no longer think of that having a baby will magically deliver you together.

I am sure that once you come home your feelings of happiness are going to overcome you and your going to want to tell him. It may be best that you tell him right away. Just wait until he is sitting down or your eating dinner then you can bring up the topic. If you ask him how he feels about having a baby now and he makes a comment that he doesn't want a baby now or he is happy with just the two of you it may hurt your feelings or make it harder to tell him so, maybe it would be best to come right out and tell him that your pregnant or, you can either wrap up your pregnancy device and let him unwrap it and you won't have to say a word until he talks to you about it or just hand it to him w/out wrapping it up. Either way, that is wonderful news and I congratulate you . Good luck to you both.

First of all...CONGRATS!! I know my husband would want to know right away. I always thought I would have this special way to tell him and it would be so memorable. lol..didn't quite happen that way. We had just moved to a new town we both hated, he had started a new job, I wasn't working...and it goes on. It will all work out for you...but I would share this fantastic news with him right away...I'm not sure a surprise would be the best if he is not expecting the news...it may be easier on him and less worrysome if it was more of an intimate conversation.

Just tell him!!! Here's what I did..
My hubby calls home 2x a day so during his first call of the day I just blurted it out. He started crying I was afraid that he was upset but he was just so happy. We would of loved to of had more money coming in to support this child as well as our others (we have 3 others). When we first found out the baby was coming we had 2 full time incomes but now are down to one. Things are tight but we are making it and so can you.
Make sure you get on WIC, this will help with milk, juice eggs and cereal and also go apply for medicaid to help with the upcoming bills.
Stay positive! Just keep in mind that God NEVER gives you more than you can handle.

Plan a lovely, romantic way to tell your husband tonight. Then find out about the Dave Ramsey program to get yourselves on a budget so you WILL have money when this wonderful child arrives! Dave Ramsey is on the radio, but you can look up stations via the internet.
Have a wonderful future as a family!

First of all, CONGRATULATIONS! That is wonderful news.
As far as hubby is concerned, if you are a playful couple, then wrap up booties or a bib or the pregnancy test. Surprise him. If you are more serious, then sit him down and let him know that God has finally answered your prayers. It may not have been on your schedule, but I can just about guarantee that it was on his.
Good luck and congrats!

I had a small box on the table for my husband I told him to open it in it was a small card that said "to the best Dad" it took him a minute to understand (he can be do dense). He still has the card.
We still worry about having enough for college and weddings and all the things that goes with having three daughters but would never give any of them up for a little more cash in the bank.

i was in the same boat a few months back i had to tell hubby that the condom had not worked and we were going to have baby # 5 !!
neither of us wanted more but he was so very happy when i blurted it out!! he was more upset that i had been worried about telling him.
i think your husband may surprise you as well, if i was you i would tell him as soon as you can that way you can both work out things together. good luck x x x x

I would wait until he comes and tell him front up. It's best to tell him upfront no matter how he reacts because by the time the baby is born, he will be happy.
