Your S.O’s reaction to the news...

My partner's recation was:

'I TOLD YOU I HAD SUPER SPERM' followed by 'I should text my best mate, at least he got six
months of trying before his wife fell pregnant.'

This response was a little surprising as the pregnancy was unplanned (I was expecting a swear word or possibly a 'are you sure?')

My DH responded with

"really ? thats great babe ....btw , I can't believe you told me this over text "

then when he got home it was
"I cant believe you told the girls in the 2ww thread before me "

Mine too!!

Mine was crook in bed and half asleep. He just said, "I knew you were." He didn't seem properly excited till I had a scan at 11 weeks and he saw the baby waving at him

When we found out I was pregnant the first word he said was F$#k! (and he NEVER swears) we both cried for a week!
Then once we had started to get excited we found out it was twins he literally didn't speak to anyone for an hour!

I can't remember what he said. I know he was a bit stunned though lol.

He works night so came home told me he was going to hang out in the lounge, I told him and he came into the room and turned the lounge lights and tv etc off. When I said I thought he was going to hang out the front his response was well I can't do that now can I.

He was happy though, as I had made fun of him before I tested saying that if we didn't fall pregnant this time he must be sterile

A bit like Littlestar - DH was barely awake and still in bed when he got a test strip waved in front of his face and me harping on about a second line - and about the faintest line you could imagine. Poor boy. He then spent the next couple of days telling me not to get my hopes up too much as he thought a faint line wasn't really a line.

Lol Kelly at the wine!!

First time I called him at work and he was pretty shocked but when I picked him up had a huge grin on his face and gave me a big hug (this one wasn't planned)

Second time (we tried for this one after miscarrying the previous) He was going I can see a line!!! Lol, first test was extremely faint and we were both just saying to each other, is there a line, there is a line there aye! When we worked it out he had a huge smile on his face again and laughed at me for having tears in my eyes, then told me I'd better get on here and let everyone know lol.

The first time we had decided not to try anymore and move back to the UK. I told him I thought I might be pg and he said well if you are I guess its a sign we should stay here. A few days later I took the test and he was in the garden and ran out there like a mad woman grining and giggling and waving the test around and he looked at me we a half smile and said "no london then?".

The next time he told me I wasnt allowed to test until 15DPO so at 11 DPO I told him I was positive I was pg again and if my temp was still up tomorrow morning I was going to test. The next morning my temp was still up so I took the test and then got back into bed and snuggled up and whispered in his ear "morning daddy"... he just said really? cool! and went back to sleep!!! He was pretty stoked when he woke up properly though LOL.

We cried for about a week too, Lisa85 - DH's response was "well, I guess I'd better get a REAL job then" (self-employed, he freaked out a little).
