Husbands reaction to finding out im pregnant
My husband and I have been trying for our second child for 5 months now and yesterday I finally got a positive pregnancy test. I waited until today to tell him as I was in a rush to get to work yesterday. I asked him to pick a hand and had the test behind my back. He did this uncomfortable half smile and commented ew why would you give me a stick of your wee? Like maybe it was a joke but cmon?! Then he commented how i should just test again in a few days as it may be negative next time. Im quite put off by his reaction as I hoped he would atleast smile instead of trying to minimise it. Is that normal?

Honestly I never let my husband touch the stick because I peed on it, to me that was gross even for me to be touching 🫣
But he could also be afraid of it being a false positive after those previous negatives. He may not want to get his hopes up. I think you should really speak with him about how you felt and still test or make an appointment for confirmation
I wouldn't say normal at all. Maybe he doesnt want to get his hopes up or something? Ask him about how he feels about the pregnancy and about this lack of enthusiasm
