yes the same old story everybody talks to the mum to be but a lot of people don`t think about how the dad to be feels, at this moment in time you will be numb and all the excitement will come once you take it all in, being a parent is a big step with a lot of responsibilities and can be really frightening but as long as you and your partner communicate everything else will fall into place, you have to work together but the end result will be just magical, nothing you will have ever felt before, so take your time and let it sink in, i hope everything works out for you both and congratulations on being a daddy take care xx

Congratulations!
I think this is fairly normal, it happened to me anyway! We had been 'trying' for just a month or 2, and when I did the maths and sent hubby out for a test, and it was positive... It was almost horror, a 'what have we done' kind of feeling. Its a BIG thing, you'll never do anything bigger, the transition from 'we want to be parents' to 'we're going to be parents' is hard and its going to take some time to get used to the idea. But you will, and it'll be the best thing you ever did!
Give it a few days and weeks, and be gentle with your wife/girlfriend - she has to make the same mental leaps as you while dealing with the early pregnancy symptoms.

It just hasn't sunk in yet - give yourself time. Believe me, when you first feel that little somebody kick and wriggle inside you - THAT'S when it'll feel real for you. Pregnancy plays havoc with your emotions - prepare for the unpredictable!! I couldn't predict how I'd feel from one moment to the next - one minute I'd be deliriously happy, the next I was crying or acting like a woman possessed - my workmates nicknamed me 'the velociraptor' (i.e. the vicious dinosaur with claws) because of my temper. Remember, you're doing a wonderful thing - take care, I'm sure everything will feel right once you've got used to the idea that you're going to be a Mummy!! Wishing you well, xxx

Congradulations!
Dont' worry, it will start to sink in. I was so exhausted the day I found out. In the same week, we closed on a house, my grandma died, I worked 80 hours each week for the past two weeks. I really didn't even care, but I cared - just too tired to put a whole lot of emotion into it. The next 9 months will be filled with emotional and physical ups and downs. There are days when you will be excited about everything, and days you just want it "out!" Just embrace it all as part of the journey! And it will sink in - especially when you start to grow, and the first time you hear his or her little heartbeat!

It is such a big thing to take in, I've got 2 girls 10 and 8, we sort of planned the first anyway but the realisation is very different when you find out you really are pregnant. Well congratulations anyway and make the most of the next few months and have time for yourself and enjoy it ,keep well.

It's very overwhelming emotionally. I was so worried that I would be a terrible mom because my first reaction was not pure joy. However, the months will go by and you will grow more and more excited. Right now, you are just dealing with the incredible, enormous reality of it all. There is so much to deal with, your reaction is completely normal. By the time your baby arrives, you WILL be over the moon!

this is a normal reaction as the news is very overwhelming and it all seems unreal, give it time over the next few months once you see your baby on the scan and then start to be able to hold your parners stomach and feel it kicking you will soon become excited about it all, good luck

Oh many many congratulations. I have been pregnant four times and to be honest it never really felt real until I felt the baby move. Don't worry darling, you are totally normal, but feel free to speak to your G.P if you are worried. It is the sort of thing they are so totally used to. Weird hormonal women! Good luck and major congrats again. xxxx
