I found out I was pregnant on Friday. I’m 5 weeks tomorrow. I really wanted to tell him on Christmas Eve as I think it will be really special. But I keep getting anxiety and wanting to tell him, but I think I’ll wish I waited. What would you all do?

I’d tell him I got you an early Christmas gift 🎁😍

tell him 👏🏻

I don’t want to be a downer or make you worry, I’d definitely tell him now, if something awful happened (touch wood it doesn’t) you would want his support and I think he would be disappointed you hadn’t told him before hand. I can’t say for sure but there’s also a chance he wouldn’t be as upset and understand the pain as much as he wouldn’t have had the same bond.

I would tell him ASAP. I was thinking to wait a week with mine but ended up telling him the same day I took a test. Was the best thing I did cos I had so many symptoms and he was able to take care of me during that week

Girl just tell him. Not everything has to be this “picture perfect” pre planned moment to be meaningful. The fact that you guys are having a baby is meaningful enough. Let him share in the joy and excitement

Maybe wrap up the test and give to him as a early Christmas present. Good luck

wait why would you wait to tell the father lol

I’ve told him 🥰❤️

I wanted a picture perfect moment too.. I found out the night before my husbands birthday so would’ve been perfect right to wait just a matter of hours.. nope couldn’t do it. I ran into his home office WHILST he was still working and told him 😂😂😂🙄. It’s still special however it’s done!

That seems like a very long time to wait tell your partner

Congrats, looks like you told him!
I was gonna say do it, personal experience story. I found out before Christmas last year that I was having number two and thought it would be cute on Christmas Eve to give him the baby jammies that match the ones we had one with a pic of the positive test. Long story short I got pissed at him and he didn’t understand why I reacted so big. I ended up throwing the test and jammies at him and then he understood why I reacted so big.

I texted my husband while he was at work the morning I got my first very faint positive test. He was really excited too. But we had been tracking ovulation and trying so he knew it was coming.

I’d say just tell him

It’ll b a great surprise Xmas eve x

I found out on Christmas Eve last year I was pregnant. I was so excited that I told him to come check the test even though I had already made a big plan to tell him in a special scavenger hunt🤦🏼♀️ I blew my own suprise

I would just tell him right away

Cute idea but I wonder if You might end up revealing it accidentally between now and then— puking or something. I waited until the evening the day I found out and kinda felt bad keeping it quiet that long. At 8 weeks now I can’t imagine not having told him— he makes me nice snacks and does extra things, and you would miss out on that special treatment ;)

I’d just tell him. The second I saw the faint double line on the pregnancy test I SCREAMED for my husband and shoved it in his face🤣 and then made him go get me more tests

You could make it a Christmas surprise for the rest of your family/families x
