Two nights ago I told my BF that i'm pregnant. He is very excited.
We are both 20 and im 9 weeks along. Him being excited is definately not how i expected him to react. Is it good that he's so excited? I dont want him to get too excited and then have something go wrong with the pregnancy. My family has a very long history of miscarraiges so im very worried that he's getting his hopes up for nothing

Even though your afraid because of miscarriages in your family's history it shouldn't stop you or your boyfriend from being happy...you never know, you might not have a miscarriage. Plus, if you worry to much about this or anything else during the pregnancy it puts added stress on you and the little one which is never good! Just try to stay positive and look at the bright side of this pregnancy and deal with the bad stuff as it comes along instead of worrying about them before it happens.
Besides, it is always best that the father of the baby is happy about becoming a daddy :)
Congratulations!!!!!

Pardon me, but isn't it time that he (and you) get excited enough to get married and plan to provide a stable family for the child?
You have a winner there with a guy who actually wants a child. Do not let him get away. Hopefully he is working and you both are saving. Children, like puppies, are never free. You will have quite a bit of expenses ahead of you.
Best of luck (and even if the pregnancy does not go to term, you now know something about him.)

I'm 9 weeks also and it took my bf a little while to get excited about the whole situation because my pregnancy was not planned...and Ive also read that miscarriages have nothing to do with your family history.
Also once a heartbeat is detected on a ultrasound the chance of a miscarriage goes way down
best of luck and congrats

I think it's awesome that he is excited! Imagine if he weren't excited. Wouldn't you feel upset and discouraged? My husband didn't get too excited this time around. This will be our second baby, and we weren't really ready. It's hard having a baby, and we aren't exactly rich, and it's stressful. But if your boyfriend is excited, that is wonderful! I understand that you don't want him to get too excited too soon, if you're worried about miscarriage, but just imagine. If he is this excited now, he will probably be a very good support system for you if something does go wrong.

You should be excited that he's excited! You'll need the support and he's more likely to stick around through the tough stuff! As far as everything else, don't worry so much! Just take care of yourself, get plenty of rest and take it easy! Good luck and congrats!

Id just let him know about the family history and then relax the more tense you get the chances go up for a miscarriage. Just talk to him and then walk the road together. Its very rare to find a guy get excited so enjoy it.

Would you rather him be having a hissy fit? If anything happens it happens. Let him be excited and enjoy the idea of being a daddy. I wish my ex would have been half as happy as your bf sounds. You've probably seen all the questions on yahoo answers from moms who's partners want nothing to do with their children, you are truly blessed to have a partner who is excited. Please enjoy it and try not to think negatively. Good luck.

would you rather he be down in the dumps? While it sucks to lose a baby (firsthand knowledge here) i would not have traded my excitement of being pregnant for anything. Does he know about your families history of miscarriages, take him to the doctor with you and let him talk with your ob along with you during this pregnancy.

I for one think it is great your b/f is excited about your baby. Sounds like he really ready mentally and physically to be a father. Take it one day at a time, don't stress and hopefully everything will be fine.
Congratulations :)

that is awesome that he is so excited!! as long as you take very good care of yourself (lots of rest and a good diet) i think you will be ok even though miscarriages run in the family. i honestly don't know if that iwill affect your chances of having one but i would think not. good luck and congrats!!! enjoy the pregnancy.
