How did your partner react when you told him?

~RedLily~ · Oct 23rd, 2009, 17:27 PM

i told my boyfriend today that i was pregnant and he got really excited. we havent been together for very long so we arent actually that serious. is it weird that i seem to feel more scared about him talking about 'our family' and making plans that the actual pregnancy. i know its good how happy he is about this but im just feeling very overwhelmed.

My guy was super calm. Probably because I called him at work. lol. But now he is always saying he is excited and stuff.

My OH knew before me, said i'd changed and that he wanted me to test. I did a test the next morning and texted him, he was very pleased

Felt I should give the other side of the story.....and as the babys father isn't my partner anymore its pretty obvious how he reacted!

His first reaction was "you better get yourself booked in for an abortion"

As you can see....I didn't get rid of the baby, I got rid of the father (dont worry I don't mean that literally hehe!)

my husband grabbed me and just squeezed me really hard and was so excited, he had this huge smile on his face. and i was standing there crying and trying not to fall over and then he got upset because i was upset and he thought i was unhappy about the pregnancy, but i was just really scared and overwhelmed.

My husband was super happy. He hugged me, huge smile, and tears in his eyes. Every time we talk about the baby he gets a huge smile on his face and is excited for everything we do/say about the little tyke.

erm he was shocked and toddled off to work, he did email me later to apoogise and told me he was over the moon but terrified

We were really happy before so when i found out i was pregnant i thought he'd be quite happy about it even if it took a little time for him to get his head around it.....
But.....

He wasnt!
I also had the "you'd better get rid of it".
