I would only tell him before if maybe it’s at a family event Like if you think he wouldn’t want to be surprised like that But I would def wait if it’s in private That would be really cute And congrats to you ❤️
You could make it a Christmas present and tell him now. Christmas is next week, so it's a slightly early gift. You could theme the announcement, too. Like, have a box with your names on it from Santa, and it can have a cute outfit, booties, and a sign or test. You could tell him his present his under the tree, and it's the test with a bow. Or the test in a box with tissue paper and a bow. Congratulations ❤️
I was going to tell my partner a week after I found out. I'd organised to get a D&D baby book and wrote a player sheet for our baby, which I was going to put inside the book. He found the test, and I ended up telling him early without the gift. Showed him the gift later.
Depends how you’d think he’d react lol.
I haven’t tested yet but may be doing the same thing!
That seems like so many days to keep it from him so I’d tell him as soon as you can and just get him another Christmas gift.
I would find the find the right moment to tell him before Christmas. If you are spending 🎄day with family and you don’t want them to know, you will both be bursting to tell everyone. We both enjoyed having it our secret till the 12week scan. And it was the best thing ever just showing parents and in laws the scan pics. I am pretty low key and wouldn’t get a reveal gift, giving him your pregnancy test is special enough. You will remember that day forever. And maybe just a baby grow with ‘I love daddy’ on it for Christmas as a gift to him plus it will be useful in the future.
I think a surprise is nice, though I waited 3 days to surprise and it was hell 😂
@Gabriela Yeah that’s what I’m thinking about how I’m gonna do because we open the gifts with family and my parents will stay with us until next day and I don’t want to share with them yet. So I’ll probably do that privately right before or after.
@Hannah That’s a nice idea. Thank you!
@Hannah ohh did you hide it? I left the test in our bathroom drawer where I put my hair stuff but I will probably hide it better even though he is not good at finding anything in front of him lol
@Anna I love that🥰 we also kept secret from our family with our first one until we had the ultrasound pictures to show them. It was hard not tell my mom and my siblings bc we are very close but we be doing the same thing again this time.
I hid it in my bedside draw. Figured he had no reason to go in there. I was wrong, lol
My pregnancy isn’t totally unexpected. I thought about waiting until Christmas to tell my husband or until my first ultrasound but ended up telling him over the weekend.
