If you are in a relationship with the father then I think it would be pretty awful not to tell them first.

He was the one to tell ME! Both times I didn’t see the second line, I always found out second 😂

But it should be dad told first

I told my mom first because my husband was at work and I wanted to tell him in person but I was so excited I couldn’t not tell someone so I called my mom

Best friend because she was in the bathroom with me but my fiancé heard at the same time… - we’d been trying for 2 and half year so we never took tests together anymore 😂

First time he knew I was pregnant and I was in denial, I thought I had the flu and kept insisting that I didn’t need a pregnancy test, but I felt so bad that I went back to my mothers house, she lived out of state, because where we were I couldn’t get health insurance and I was really concerned, my mom made me take a pregnancy test, and I called my boyfriend in the phone while taking it so he knew right after I did, and then I told my mom. The second time, we stopped being long distance a few months before and I felt off, I felt pregnant, that time he was denial and I just knew, while he was at work I took a test and freaked out and instead told him (through messages) I honestly wish I would’ve told him in a more special way both times, now we’re long distance again due to us saving money and trying to find our own place, and me not having somewhere to other than my mothers, and him staying with friends and we’ve been on bc, but the next time I gotta do the cutest thing ever for him

Husband first. Then my mom.

lol I don’t owe my parents nothing, so no I’m definitely not telling them & My bestfriend IS my partner so of course I’m telling him! I don’t know why I would share that news with anyone else other than the person I’m having the baby with first! My Husband is usually right there with me when I’m taking a pregnancy test, I like when we are finding out together :)
I admire ppl who are able to keep a secret from their partners cuz I adore those videos were I see the mans reaction lol. I might do that for my next pregnancy bt I don’t know if I could keep a “secret” like that from my man lol

I wasn’t with the dad so told him 4 days later 😂

I told my best friend as I told her I was late first. Then I told the guy I was dating a couple of days later.

Avatar

My mum told me … she got me to do the test and was holding it 😂 I thought it would be way too early to show! My partner came home from work & saw me/my mum whispering after doing another 4 tests to confirm 😅 I wanted to tell him when I was 100% sure

Husband followed closely by best friend.

I remember being with a close friend to give her moral support after a Pap smear. She didn’t technically tell me I was pregnant but it didn’t take me long to pick up on it. She said “guess what”, and the most likely thing was pregnancy. So I found out before her husband even tho she didn’t technically tell me 🤭

My husband had the audacity to be at work when I tested so I called my mom

Avatar

i was with my best friend when i took the test lol

Avatar

My fiancé and I did the pregnancy test together, so the first person we told after we found out was my mum x

Avatar

My husband and I found out at the same time, so I chose parent.

Husband first, my sister *immediately* after. She has always been my go-to line reader.

Has anyone gone for there nipt testing yet?

I just got my nipt results back and they all came back inconclusive because of low fetal fraction, I was 10 weeks 6 days when I got it done and there wasn’t enough fetal dna for any results.

Does failing the 1hr glucose test mean gestational diabetes?

I was told at the lab my levels came up high. I have hypoglycemia and I notice I’m low on sugar levels when I get very sleepy and am rested. After drinking that orange thing, like 10-15min after I felt I was getting sleepy. I thought it was the crash after the loads of sugar from that drink (normal to hypoglycemia) but then they checked ny urine sample and sha said it was high. That they were waiting to run the testing on the blood sample after to be sure of more details they could share later. Does that mean I’m likely to have gestational diabetes? I’m nervous 🥺

Winging it

I feel like people out there have so many opinions about what they should and shouldn't be doing with their baby. Tummy time, screen time, floor time, reading, naps. Meanwhile I'm over here like no idea what I'm doing just trying to get through the day!! 👀 Who's with me?
