How did you break it to your husband that you were pregnant?

Well when I got preggers the first time I waited till about 3am when he was good and tired shook him and said "lets have sex hun cause Im preggers and we don't have to worry about a bun in the oven cause Im already baking!" He then being half asleep and very compliant said okay.....and after our "session" he finally woke, fell off the bed hit his head on the wall and was up for the next 3 days wondering what the hell to do. I mean I totally get why you wouldn't tell him after all he needs to be punished for his snide remarks. I think you should just wait till your water breaks. But if you really want to get even make dinner and say pass the potatoes Im having triplets! That usually goes over really well men like to know that they have super sperm and the fact that the one time got 3 kids as a result, He will be glowing red with happiness. :)

I didn't really. We were having sex one night and had to stop because it was really painful, which is completely unusual for me. The next day, my boobs felt sore and I felt unlike myself and when I got home from work (and I was in a bad mood that day too) I said, "I'm either sick or pregnant." The following day I went to CVS and bought 5 different pregnancy test, brought them home, and he sat in the bathroom with me while I took them. So, we kinda found out at the same time. I scheduled a doc't appt for the following week and I was confirmed 7wks pregnant.

The week before we had the painful sex, I was an absolute b*tch. Ab-so-lute!. And I gave him hell. So much so where he ended up punching a hole in the wall out of frustration. It never dawned on either one of us that we both were acting extremely outside ourselves. So, it may be in your best interest to tell your husband what's going on with you before something happens- either you do or say something that causes him total confusion and causes a reaction in him- that can't be easily apologized for. If one day he makes what would normally be a joke about your weight, and you flip out at him over it, he's going to wonder why you didn't laugh it off as you normally would and he could possibly distance himself from you for going into b*tch mode.

You're past the point of breaking the news. You'll be showing any day now, if you're not already, and he may know. At 9wks, you're probably already showing some sort of symptoms. It's already going to be odd, having to admit that you waited this long too actually say anything. It's not the most mature thing to do but you can always say that you were trying to find the right words and wait for the right time. Since this is your first pregnancy, your excitment can be your reason for the delay, and any reasonable person would understand. Even if you were upset about it, and that was your reason for not saying anything, it should be understood. But since he already has kids, have gone through the "honey, you're going to be a daddy" thing, his excitment probably won't match yours and there's no real reason to plan a special way to tell him.

You need the 'sideways' approach.

"Hi hubs. Did I tell you I went to the doctors about a month ago? I meant to tell you but I wanted to see if the treatment worked before I give you the good news. You know how bad I get with PMS ... how I rant and rave for days on end .... always shouting .... always picking fault with you ...... turning into a monster ...... moody and irritable all the time ..... well, some good news ..... you won't have to put up with that any longer because it's all stopped now."

Then ask him out to dinner to celebrate.

We'll deal with the weight problem next month or you can buy the latest copy of "Scoundy's Manipulative Excuses and Blags" ... you can get it from any good book store ... or wait for your free copy of episode 2 here on YA :-)

P.S. Have you dyed your hair?

Go to the store and buy a shirt that says baby on board with an arrow pointing to your tummy. He should get the idea and it would be a great story later on. Any way you cut it you need to tell him ASAP. Congrats!

I would just let him know the next time e has a fat joke..."Damn this a fat baby...must have your head" Just tell him but make it come out while he's making a joke...he has 4 kids so I'm sure he already knows....

You should have told him as soon as you found out. Having a baby is a blessing. I had issues after my 2nd child was born and had to have my tubes tied. I now regret ( My youngest is 16) having them tied I would have loved being able to have many more. congratulations!!

You should've told him as soon as you knew...his remarks about your weight aren't appropriate but it's childish of you to withhold the news out of spite...what should be happy news has now turned into happy news that may piss him off because you didn't reveal it long ago, so consider how your hormones will feel when it makes it clear how he feels about you keeping the info from him...

Time to behave like an adult that is about to be a parent...good luck with the pregnancy...

Courtney dear......what wonderful news. I have one of those shirts BABY....with the arrow pointing down....I'm sending it your way, or you can wait till the babe kicks him in the head during an intimate moment. Thats always a pleasant surprise too.

From the sounds of it ....sounds like a kick in the head is about due any way.

and BTW....you still look mahhhvelous.....hair up or down!

Um lying/hiding doesn't bring out the best in marriages. Not a smart move. Just brings you closer to divorce. Real smart!

seriously, how old are you, because you sound extremely immature.

Grow up and just tell him, stop prancing around like its a big deal, its a fact of life.
