You just found out you are pregnant and you can't wait to tell your husband. You may want to tell him as soon as you know it, but if you can hold back the arousal, you can also communicate it to him in a fun and unexpected way. If you want to surprise your husband with this life-changing news, follow these easy tips!
Steps
Method 1 of 3: Give the Good News in a Playful Way
Step 1. Place a round bun in the oven
- When your husband comes home, tell him that the oven is making a strange noise or that it is not working.
- He will open it and, at first, he won't understand what a sandwich is doing in the oven.
- Come closer and place his hand on your belly, to let him know that you have baked something too!
Step 2. Give him the pregnancy test (after cleaning it
). Wrap it with wrapping paper and add a bow to it. Give it to him in a quiet time.
- Tell him: “I want to give you something. To tell the truth, however, it is already yours”.
- When she sees the pregnancy test she will understand better!
Step 3. Surprise him with an object that says "Dad" or "Daddy"
Here's what you might choose:
- If he likes to cook, buy an apron and help him put it on. See how long it takes to realize this.
- Buy a cup that says "Dad # 1" and serve your husband coffee in it. It will be fun to wait for him to read the writing.
- You can also opt for a shirt. For even more fun, ask him to hang out or fold the laundry and wait for him to notice.
- You can also give him a shirt or a baby onesie that says “I Love my Daddy”: he will understand immediately.
- If you usually do the laundry yourself, hang some baby clothes in plain sight and wait for your husband to walk past.
- Buy a pair of baby shoes and put them in a box - tell him you bought the perfect shoes for him and watch his reaction to opening the package.
- You can also buy a pair of baby shoes and put them next to your shoes, waiting for him to see them.
Step 4. Share the good news by parking in the pregnant women's area when you go to the supermarket
Found the right place, tell him.
- Ask him to take a quick trip to the supermarket.
- Make sure you drive. If he's almost always doing it, tell him you want it.
- Upon arrival, park in the right place.
- Get out of the car like it's all perfectly natural (it is after all!).
- Wait for him to say "Honey, you can't park here".
- Smile at him and say "Oh yes I can!".
Method 2 of 3: Give the Good News in a Romantic Way
Step 1. Do it in a place that is memorable and meaningful to both of you
Ask him to accompany you in the evening and tell him to dress well, even if this place doesn't have to be particularly elegant. Here's what to do once there:
- Take him by the hand and look him in the eye.
- Tell him you love this special place because this is where you had your first date, fell in love or exchanged your first kiss. Tell him you can't wait to share many more memories with him.
- Tell him "I'm pregnant".
Step 2. Write a sweet poem telling him that you are pregnant
If you are a romantic person and are famous for writing love letters and poems, then it will be easy to do so. Here's how to give it to him:
- Plan a romantic dinner, at home or in a candlelit restaurant, and grab the paper.
- When you do, tell him "I want to read you something."
- Wait for his reaction.
Step 3. Tell him in the most romantic restaurant in town
After relaxing and chatting, it's time to tell him:
- Go to the restaurant first and ask them to make a dessert that says "Congratulations". When he asks you why, wait a moment for him to figure it all out for himself.
- Give him a romantic note that tells him how you feel and ask him to turn it over - you'll have the news written on the back.
Method 3 of 3: How to Break the News if You Are Not Sure of His Reaction
Step 1. Plan what you will say
If you don't know how he'll react and the news comes completely unexpected, it's best to avoid funny surprises. You should take an honest approach and make sure that the communication runs smoothly.
- Practice keeping your tone firm and even as you tell them. Look him in the eye and hold him by the hand.
- Explain to him how you feel, especially if your emotions are also confused: you will have to work on it together.
Step 2. Anticipate his reaction
You should know him well enough to know how he will react. Since you are married, you may have talked about the possibility of having children at some point, so remember his words. Did he tell you he wants it or doesn't he have any interest in it? Knowing his opinion will help you understand how he will take it.
- Think of the other times you've given him unexpected and upsetting news. While it's unlikely you've told him such an important thing before, remembering his reaction will give you a clue. Did you take the news calmly, emotionally or with agitation?
- If they have a history of violent behavior and you think they may react badly, don't tell them when you are alone. Make sure you do this with a friend or family member.
Step 3. Choose a day and time to talk about it
If on the one hand it is better to do it as soon as possible, on the other hand you must also sit down and discuss it in a moment of tranquility and free of stress for both, especially to allow him to assimilate the news:
- You will need to be able to think only of the situation at that moment.
- Don't be too dramatic when you ask him if you can talk, or he'll want to know right away, while you don't feel ready.
- Don't tell him as soon as he gets back from work. Wait for him to relax and tell him about it after dinner.
Step 4. Break the news:
if the right time has come, there is no need to postpone. Open up. Hold it by the hand and don't go around it too much.
- Tell him "I just found out I was pregnant".
- Wait for him to react. If he hugs you, he reciprocates. If he doesn't say anything, be patient and don't ask him questions.
- If he wants to say something but is speechless, tell him how you feel.
- If he is receptive, ask him to share his feelings.
Step 5. Listen to him when he speaks:
surely will have a lot to say. You did your part, now listen. Don't interrupt him or get angry - this news has changed his life.
Try to stay calm, even if he is shaken. Remember that you have had more time to digest the news
Step 6. Discuss what to do after talking about your emotions
You may need to take a break before talking about what you will do with the baby, but don't put it off too long.
- Before making a decision, make sure you are both completely sure.
- You did your best to talk to him, now you will have to work on the pregnancy.
Advice
- It is normal to feel nervous. He probably will too.
- Ask your friends how they communicated this to their husbands. You can think of creative ideas, but you can also be inspired by those of others.
