Couples who are planning a pregnancy perceive the news of a new life without surprise and with joy. But there are those for whom the appearance of two stripes is quite unexpected. Of course, the first to know this news is a woman who has an important task: to tell the father of the child about the pregnancy.
Be prepared for the fact that the husband’s reaction will not be the same as it is customary to cover in melodramas and TV shows. Perhaps he will not carry you in his arms and bring coffee to bed from that day on, but this does not mean at all that he is not happy about the appearance of a third family member. In addition, a man treats pregnancy mainly from a practical point of view: he begins to think that now additional material resources will be needed, perhaps an expansion of housing space. After all, first of all, he is the breadwinner of the family and now he has even more responsibility, especially if the wife had a good job before pregnancy, because now she has three years of maternity leave.
You should not tell your husband about pregnancy at completely inopportune moments. If he drives in a nail, repairs the wiring in the apartment, came home from work upset, you had a quarrel or any stressful situation. In such situations, it will not be superfluous to wait a little. Also make sure that you are in a position, because it happens that
The first impulse is to run, hug her husband or call, write, call to quickly tell about everything. But perhaps you should come up with a more original way to tell your husband about pregnancy, because this stunning news is one of the main things in your life with your husband. Here are a few ways to help make that impression:
1. If you knew about everything in the early morning, and the husband is still sleeping, take lipstick and write on the mirror in the bathroom: “Soon you will become a dad!”. Surely the spouse will not even need a cup of coffee that day to really wake up.
2. Another "morning" idea. Write a note to your husband, discreetly put it in your spouse's pocket before he leaves for work. Soon, very soon he will call you! You will remember this moment for a long time.
3. Take an envelope, put your baby photos with your husband in it and write: “Which of us do you think he will look like? Congratulations….".
4. Buy a pair of booties, put them in a smart box, put them in a closet on your husband's shelf so that he discovers a new thing himself, or give your spouse a gift after a good dinner.
5. If you got pregnant shortly before the holiday (February 23, New Year, Birthday), wait a bit with messages, it's worth it! And on X-Day, put your test in a festive box and give it along with a gift. Guess what surprise you prepared will be the most important?
6. If you have already managed to visit a gynecologist, take tests and do the first ultrasound, put the first “photo” of your baby in the envelope.
7. If you and your husband are planning to visit, go shopping or go on vacation, ask unexpectedly: “Darling, do you mind if the three of us go?” Your husband will spend a few moments understanding the meaning of what was said, but by your joyful face, he will soon understand everything.
8. Order a stylish T-shirt with the inscription: "The best dad in the world" and present it to your husband in a beautiful package.
9. How to inform relatives? You can just call, or you can invite them to visit, cook delicious meals, take a camera and invite everyone to take a photo as a keepsake. When everyone calmly and naturally sits down in their places, tell them suddenly instead of cheese: "I'm pregnant !!!" Believe me, you will want to print this photo in a large format and enjoy it all your life!
P.S. By informing your husband about your pregnancy in this way, you take responsibility for his fainting, high blood pressure and emotional instability. There are contraindications. If your pregnancy was not planned, it is worth starting a conversation about the child from afar: noting a few days in advance that you have a slight delay, that you want to eat something unusual - so your husband will begin to “suspect something” and will be mentally prepared for such an important message.
-Darling, come on, if a girl is born, then we'll call Ksyusha, and if a boy - Vlad?
-WHAT???
- Oh… I forgot! I bought a pregnancy test yesterday...
What other SURPRISES?
In my first pregnancy, I didn’t even think about the question “How to tell my husband about pregnancy?”. And in general, about the fact that pregnancy can be reported in some interesting way and even make a surprise. Somehow it was not before. Although we were planning a child, I was still so shocked by the positive test that I immediately told my husband: “Igor! Pregnancy test! There are 2 stripes! I don't know, I'm not sure what it all means. We still need to check, perhaps ... ". True, the husband still shed tears.
In the second pregnancy, I wanted to make a surprise. And I started to invent it a few days before the test showed two coveted strips. True, it turns out, they say that you can know about pregnancy in advance. This time I knew too. I don't know how, I just knew...
How to tell your husband about your second pregnancy
It was Father's Day. I timed a surprise for him: I made a photo presentation (slide show) called “Dad can”. I inserted photos into the presentation, where only my husband and son were in the frame. And I chose, of course, the most “cruel” pictures:
Well, in the last frame, a happy son, a positive pregnancy test, my frightened face and the inscription “Repeat?”. Dad, by the way, was happy to repeat.
20 Ways to Tell Your Husband You're Pregnant
I am now 26 weeks pregnant with my second pregnancy and my husband, of course, has long known about it. As are my loved ones. And yours? If you yourself just found out that you are pregnant or planning a pregnancy and are thinking about how to please your spouse, here are a few ways. I didn't invent it, the internet did. I just chose the most interesting, in my opinion. Well, I've added a few things here and there. I hope you like them too.
1. Presentation. Since I started the article with her. You can use a photo or video presentation. There are a lot of variations here. It all depends on your skills and desires.
2. Puzzle with your image or inscription. If you already have a child, you can put together this puzzle with him and dad.
3. Mug chameleon , on which the image changes / appears when heated. I would write short and clear: "Dad". You can immediately order yourself with the inscription "Mom". And drink tea together.
4. Just report casually. Here are some examples:
5. A table for three.
Call your husband to a restaurant and say that you will have a guest with you. And who is it - surprise. The table is set for 3 persons. Who are you waiting for, do not say. Half an hour later, a waitress comes up (by prior arrangement) and hands her husband a note with the words “Your guest is late and asked me to give you this.” The note reads: “Sorry for being late, there are traffic jams in the sky. I will be in 9 months. Stork." You can make an inscription on the envelope, and put a pregnancy test in it.
7. Throw a pacifier in your jacket pocket. Simple, fast, clear and unexpected.
8. Gift with courier. The gift option with a bodysuit, booties or a pregnancy test is very popular now. Or all together. They are just beautifully put into a gift box. I think this option will be more original if it is brought by a courier.
9. A set for a real man.
I really liked this set. Take one large beautiful box and put in it a note " A set of a real man"And 3 smaller boxes. With numbers 1, 2, 3 and put in them:
10. "Dad, buy vitamins!". Place a jar on a shelf in the refrigerator pickles, several packages of white chalk and a note: “Daddy, finally buy mom vitamins for pregnant women! I don’t want to eat cucumbers and chalk for 9 months.”
11. Morning greeting.
Morning. The husband wakes up. And above it, “We will have a child”, “You will become a dad” or ... for which there is enough fantasy and strength in the night. The main thing, jumping on the bed, is not to crush your husband.
12. On asphalt. Write with crayons on the pavement under the window. For example: Plato, you will soon become a dad! Pretty risky way. Especially if there are a lot of Platonovs in the entrance.)) You can ask your husband to look out the window and immediately confess, or you can not say anything, and then write an SMS: “Did you read my message under the window? What do you say?". The main thing is to make sure that he sees this inscription.
13. Cake with an inscription. Great option for sweet tooth.
14. Kinder Surprise. Take a kinder surprise, carefully print it out, pull out the toy, and instead of it, put a note about pregnancy and carefully seal it back. If you already have a child, you can give him a kinder surprise with dad. To open everything together. But then it is better to leave the toy. 15. Free shelf. You can defiantly and emotionally start emptying the shelf in the closet with your spouse. When a man asks why such rearrangements, tell him that your baby's things will be stored in this box.
16. Dad, make room. Another variation of the previous method. You can just leave a note on dad's shelf in the closet "Daddy, make room for my little things! I will be in 9 months ”For persuasiveness, you can put a pair of booties or socks.
17. Advent calendar for husband.
If you found out about pregnancy on the eve of the New Year or your husband's birthday, or any other holiday, you can make some kind of Advent calendar. A lot has been written on the Internet about what an Advent calendar is and how to make it. Its essence is as follows: for example, you give your husband a week before his birthday "Calendar" in the form of multi-colored bags of surprises (see photo below). Each bag is labeled with a date to open it. Each bag contains a surprise. Every day is different. You can dilute the gifts with some task for every day (as is done in the real New Year's Advent calendar for children). Of course, you should not force your husband to make an application from colored paper, but why not kiss your wife. Immediately, warn that the birthday present itself is in the last bag with the date of his birth. Well, instead of a gift or with it, put a pregnancy test, booties or just a note “You will soon become a dad!”. There are a lot of options for the Advent Calendar and surprises for it, just choose and make the option you like the most. The most difficult thing here is to endure this week and not let it slip.
19. T-shirt with a slogan. A fairly popular way is to give dad a T-shirt with the words "Best dad in the world" written on it. This option, in my opinion, will be more interesting if you give a T-shirt not to dad, but to relatives: "The best aunt in the world" or "The best grandmother in the world."
20. Fortune cookies. You can order cookies with an individual inscription. In each write "You will soon become a dad." You can make a few things with "The inscription "You will soon become a mother." More than one husband eats this cookie))).
The main thing is the content
In conclusion, I want to give a few clarifications:
1. If you decide to invest a pregnancy test as a gift, you must be sure that your husband knows what he looks like and will not twist an incomprehensible thing in his hands in bewilderment.
2. Do not tell your husband about pregnancy on a responsible day for him (negotiations, interviews, meetings, exams, etc.). By doing this, you deprive him of the opportunity to truly rejoice and risk not seeing the reaction that you expect.
3. All people are different. One will like it if the news is presented with humor, while the other will prefer a more serious approach. I am sure that you know your husband best of all and will be able to choose the most suitable method for him.
And most importantly, remember that no matter under what circumstances you tell your husband about your pregnancy (at home, in a restaurant, as a surprise, just with words or did a test together), believe me, your husband will never forget this day! After all, the main thing here is not the presentation, but the content.
More pleasant events and surprises for you!

If romance in your relationship happens only on holidays, then your spouse will definitely be surprised by this. And here it is important not to miss the moment - tell the news that he will soon become a father.
How to talk about pregnancy beautifully
You can talk about pregnancy in a rather interesting way, which will demonstrate that despite the upcoming changes, your husband remains important to you. What is the idea:
- Create an intimate atmosphere - dim the lights, light candles;
- Buy sexy lingerie;
- Call your spouse into the bedroom and give him unforgettable sex;
- At the end of the whole action, whisper the good news in your ear.
After that, he may be under the impression for some time. But it's only to your advantage.
How to tell your husband about pregnancy in an original way
All people, without exception, love gifts. Therefore, you can please your spouse in this way. And don't be afraid if there are no suitable holidays in the near future. Please him just like that (as he might think at first).
There are many options for what to give. But it must be a box, and preferably a larger one, with a huge festive bow for solemnity. Next, you should decide on the surprise that the spouse will find in her. It could be:
- Postcard with the inscription "Honey, I'm pregnant";
- Pregnancy test;
- Photo from ultrasound;
- Children's toy or nipple, bottle or something from children's things;
- T-shirt that says "I'm going to be a dad soon" or something like that.
You can put anything in the box if you want. As the husband opens his gift, watch his expression change, his eyes widen, and perhaps filled with tears of joy. These moments are priceless.
How to creatively tell your husband about pregnancy
Let the spouse learn about the news from a stranger. No, you don't need to tell anyone. The very fact that it was not he who first found out about her, but someone else, can hurt his pride. But how then to be? Everything is very simple:
- Run to the nearest post office;
- Send your spouse a telegram;
- Indicate at what time it should fall into the hands of the recipient.
In some post offices, you do not need to leave your home to send a telegram. It is enough to go to the site, arrange the required service, pay for it with a card. This greatly simplifies the process.
It is very important that the husband receives the telegram at a time when you will be at home too. In this way, you can enjoy the reaction of your loved one.
How to tell your husband about pregnancy
If your soulmate loves to eat something tasty, then this option is for you. It's not new, but interesting enough.
Bake a pie for your beloved, in the middle of which put a note "We will have a child." Do not forget to pack it in a plastic bag so that it does not become limp or damaged.
You can also prepare pies with a message, and put notes in each of them. You can write a thematic text on them - different or the same, you decide.
If cooking isn't your forte, don't worry. Buy your future daddy's favorite sweets, put them on a beautiful dish, put a note on the bottom of it. Or take care of your man, arrange an evening of relaxation for him with beer, chips or other snacks, in a pack of which hide a message about a joyful event.
A note: "You will soon become a dad" can be hidden in kinder surprise. To do this, buy a sweet in the nearest store, carefully open it, remove the toy from the egg and hide the message in it, seal it back. In order for the egg to look complete and your man didn’t guess anything ahead of time, heat one half of the egg a little, then combine it with the second, put the sweetness in the refrigerator.
How to tell your husband about pregnancy in a big way
How cute the inscriptions on the asphalt look “Tanya, thank you for your son!”. Probably, every woman would be pleased if such a message with words of gratitude was addressed to her. By the way, this is a great way to tell your husband that soon there will be a new addition to your family.
If you decide to do this, be prepared that your neighbors will share your joy with you. If that doesn't matter to you, then go ahead:
- Buy crayons or paint and a brush;
- Go outside in the evening or at night;
- Choose a place that is clearly visible from your window;
- Write something like: "Mikhail, you will soon become a father!".
In the morning, as if nothing had happened, brew a nice cup of tea or coffee, and offer to admire the sunrise or the weather. When Mikhail approaches the window, an inscription will catch his eye. In some cases, men do not remember that it is addressed to them, so be ready to help and explain. But most men immediately understand to whom it is addressed.
You should not be limited only to asphalt in the courtyard of the house. If the financial situation allows, you can order banners with a photo of your spouse, a thematic inscription and it’s fun to inform him about your pregnancy. You can place them near your home or work.
How cool to say
Start cleaning, ask your spouse to help you rearrange the furniture, get rid of unnecessary things. Start defiantly freeing one of the shelves of the cabinet or chest of drawers. To the perplexed question “What are you doing?” calmly answer that you are making room for the things of the unborn baby. Or, empty the shelf before the husband returns home. Put a rattle or baby socks on it and leave a note "For a new family member."
We tell intriguingly
Take a man to a restaurant. But ask the waiter to make a serving for 3 persons. And do not forget to warn your spouse that there is a surprise for him.
Entering a restaurant, sit down at a table, but do not fall for any provocations. After all, a man can go to the trick and, not wanting to wait, try in every possible way to get the information he needs.
Sit for 10-15 minutes, and then give a sign to the waiter (who is one with you) to proceed according to the plan. The waiter comes to the table with a note and gives it to the future dad with the words: "You were asked to pass." In the note, you can write something like, “Sorry I’m late. Expect in 9 months. Stork".
Whichever option you choose for yourself, remember that not all men are as emotional as women. They are used to restraining their emotions, because they have been told one thing since childhood - that men do not cry, they are strong and invulnerable.
And if you put your whole soul into your idea, and in response you received a dry “Mmm, this is great” or “Is that right? I'm glad" do not rush to draw conclusions. After all, you have already gotten used to the idea that you will soon become a mother, and daddy was just dumbfounded. Yes, and many women, before jumping and crying for joy, are in a stupor for some time, digesting new information. What can we say about men.
The most important thing is not the reaction, but the attitude. Therefore, if your man did not drown in tears of happiness and joy and did not kiss the whole world, but began to take more care, be interested in well-being, stroke his stomach, thinking that you were sleeping - this is an indicator. And he is glad that a child no less than you will soon appear in the family.
Did you see the "cherished" two stripes? Do not rush to urgently tell your husband about a joyful event! Sometimes the future dad needs to be prepared in advance - an unplanned pregnancy can be stressful for a man. There are many simple ways present the news of pregnancy in an original way to make this day special and memorable.
How unusual is it to tell your husband about your pregnancy?
Did you find out about your pregnancy and decide to have a holiday? An excellent solution - in a good mood, a man will perceive the news much better, even if he used to be indifferent to the idea of replenishing his family.
Where to begin? The choice of ideas depends on your desire, activity and creativity. The option that does not require physical exertion is best suited.
Consider the situation in the family, the habits and tastes of the husband, the financial situation. For example, do not order a holiday billboard under the window if you are more comfortable going to a restaurant.
Classics of the genre
Don't like originality? Refuse phone calls and emails (of course, if the husband has not left for long-term earnings). Serious news is best told in private.
How to prepare for a conversation:
- Choose a moment when you will not rush and wait for visitors.
- Do not start a conversation "on the forehead." Talk about the fact that you have taken place as individuals and as a family, ready for the appearance of children.
- After talking about pregnancy, show your husband a test or an ultrasound result, tell how happy you are and how much you love him.
Do not tell the news if the husband is busy, tired, or there is a crucial event ahead: exams, important negotiations, an interview. The reaction may offend you, because his thoughts are busy with other things.
Romantic option
Arrange a romantic candlelit dinner for your loved one at home or in a restaurant. At the end of the evening, you can present a conclusion on pregnancy, baby booties, a small toy in a beautiful box. A good option is a baby doll that says "Dad".
Bring a twist to the holiday - you can order or set a table for three, saying that you will have a guest, but he is late. When the husband asks how long to wait, let him know that the guest will come in 9 months.
Book a romantic photo session by agreeing with the photographer. When the lens is pointed at you, hurry to tell your husband about the "interesting situation." A frame with the husband's reaction to your message will be truly priceless.
Entangled Quest
Does your loved one love puzzles and quests? Make him a surprise - tell him about the imminent addition to the family in an original way!
Send SMS to your beloved man: “Darling, I have an interesting task for you - find a treasure!”. The SMS should contain an indication with the location of the first clue.
For example, you hid a note in the refrigerator. Write: "The first pointer awaits in the realm of eternal cold." The next note says: "The second clue is hidden on the far side of the moon" - it must be attached to the nightlight. There should be at least a dozen such notes-tips. Adventure can be ordered from professionals - contact the quest room.
Put what you want in the treasure. For example, a note "Honey, I'm pregnant" or a funny card, a "To the best dad" t-shirt (if this is your first child).
original approach
A gift is a great way to tell your husband about pregnancy in an unusual way! A funny trifle or a touching childish little thing will melt the heart of a spouse and make him feel in seventh heaven with happiness.
What can be in the gift:
- pregnancy test or ultrasound photo;
- baby things (rattle, pacifier, cap);
- a photo of the unborn child taken using a special program or Photoshop (you can even order a puzzle with this photo);
- epaulettes of a junior sergeant with two stripes;
- kinder surprise or cookies with a note "You will soon become a dad!";
- cake with a stork or a pacifier;
- t-shirt "Best dad";
- head of cabbage with nipple.
Tie a pair of heart balloons with your name and husband to the box. There will be a smaller ball inside "your" ball. You can present a "Set for a real man", which will contain nails for building a house, seeds for planting a tree and booties for a son or daughter.
Extreme and emotions
A man can not imagine life without adrenaline in the blood? Then your imagination is not limited by anything! True, you will have to carefully prepare. For example, you can negotiate with the traffic police inspector, who will “fine” your husband for not having a child seat in the car and inform you about your pregnancy. Planning to fly together on an airplane? Arrange with the pilot to congratulate her husband on the status of the future dad over the speakerphone.
There are a lot of opportunities to congratulate your spouse in a cool and extreme way and make a surprise! If your loved one has weak nerves or a sick heart, you should refuse such options.
cool option
Does your husband have a good sense of humor? This gives more room for imagination. Then a comic way to announce the replenishment of the family is quite appropriate:
- Rename yourself on your husband's phone to "Aist" and send SMS: "Already flew out, wait in 9 months."
- Ask your husband to make tea in a chameleon cup that will display a picture of a baby or the words "You'll be a dad soon."
- Cut out printed letters from magazines and compose a message with the text: “I have your child, and you will not see him before 9 months.” Throw the letter in your mailbox and ask your husband to check your mail.
- Write the message “Your baby lives here” on your stomach with a marker, put on a topic and start cooking.
Do you want to start a new life on a positive note? Having fun shared by two is the best way to deliver great news!
Improvisation and creativity
Is everything fine in family relationships? Let your imagination run wild without worrying about stress. For example, if a spouse or boyfriend tolerates any whims of his soul mate, you can use this method:
- arrange a throne or trestle bed from your favorite easy chair, set a beach umbrella nearby;
- around put "food for pregnant women" - ice cream and smoked herring;
- in this "paradise" wait for the return of your husband;
- to his surprise, answer that you are pregnant;
- Remind me that pregnant women are also characterized by not such quirks.
A touching funny scene will cheer you both up. Experiment and delight your loved one! Then the news of pregnancy will be remembered for a lifetime.
How interesting to tell a guy about pregnancy?
Have you entered into a relationship with the child's father yet? If you have already aspired to create a family, the baby will help you become closer. There are other options:
- you wanted to get married, but did not plan to get pregnant so early;
- you did not think about marriage and a child in general.
In these cases, an unpleasant surprise may await you - if the guy is not ready for responsibility, he will easily leave you in a difficult situation and withdraw himself. Another unpleasant option is that he may be afraid of sudden changes and react in unexpected ways.
The response is likely to be favorable if:
- inform “I am pregnant” personally, without strangers;
- choose a quiet place where both of you are comfortable;
- be calm, confident and optimistic;
- speak directly, without riddles, allegories and leading questions.
Treasure the relationship with the father of the child and want him to stay with you? Do everything to ensure that he takes the news in a calm atmosphere. No rude jokes, public confessions - do not create awkward situations. Your "weapon" will be romance, intimacy, confident planning of a joint future. If you are confident in the guy’s love and sense of humor, there can be any way to present the news.
Why should you not hide your pregnancy from your loved one?
If a partner does not want to have children or you do not know how he feels about this, there is a great temptation to keep silent about the “position”. The longer you hide the pregnancy, the worse the situation for everyone:
- you may feel unwell due to nervousness or become depressed;
- due to the poor condition of the mother, the child may have developmental problems;
- the future father will not have time to prepare for the arrival of the baby.
Tell about pregnancy as early as possible. If a man understands the situation himself, he can draw the wrong conclusions. For example, he might think that:
- you are afraid of him and do not trust;
- the child is not conceived from him;
- you do not consider him mature and reserved enough to discuss important situations;
- you will not be interested in his opinion in the future.
It is important for almost any man to feel like the head of the family, a person who can solve any difficult situation. The appearance of a baby is a serious step that will affect the rest of the couple's life. It covers the economic aspect, makes you plan time differently.
If you announce the pregnancy when it can no longer be hidden, this will lead to a serious emotional "explosion" on the part of the partner. This may not happen because he does not love you or the child, but because now he will urgently need to change a lot of plans. Also, a man may believe that he is not ready to become a father - for various reasons. But put him before the fact in advance - so it will be easier for him to accept and start preparing for the addition to the family.
