Q: How to Tell Your Family Or Boyfriend That Your Pregnant?

Hi everyone does any one have a cute idea to tell someone that there pregnant. I mean like telling your family or like your boyfriend or husband? I am not trying to be noisy but how did you guys tell your family that your pregnant and how did they take it, oh when I said family I also meant boyfriend, or your husband. And girls again I am not trying to be noisy. I asked this question because I have a friend that’s pregnant by her husband and she wanted to know so I told her I am going to think for her lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you guys have nice ideas
well I thought of some ideas and I thought of telling her to put a ultrasound picture in a card or something or just tell him “i’m pregnant” lol the biggest surprise is that she’s been trying to get pregnant ever sense 6 years . She is 10 weeks pregnant!
Cute ideas welcomed

Hey sara,

i dont believe that there is a "cute" way to do it as it is going to come as a shock no matter how you do it. I cant give you my experience as i've never been pregnant but in my opinion, the best way to do it would be to sit them all down and tell them that your pregnant and make sure you tell them your intentions of what to do e.G keeping it, adoption etc. Give them time to come around as shock can bring out many emotions.

I wish your friend the very best of luck with telling everyone she is pregnant, it wont be easy but she will make it! Cool

Lets see.
I told my fiance minutes after I found out.. He just walked around the corner after I came out of the bathroom and I was like boy or girl.. And hes responce was boy or girl what. I said what do u think we are having. And he was shocked and said your pregnant!! And I just shook my head yes. He was so happy but we planned her.
My parents on the other hand. My mom knows . She has known for about 2 weeks now keep in mind in 25 weeks. Lol
and she was pissed off at first because she didnt think that I could handle it and all that but she has warmed up to the fact once the initial shock was over.
My dad still doesnt know, my mom doesnt know how to tell him or how we should tell him because he is a loose cannon.. And isnt the best person with news like this. Mainly because they have this whole thing no babies before marriage thing.

I definitely have no good answers for this, as my strategy is to just spit it out...But the card sounds cute.

You could get a shirt made saying "Mother in training" or something along those lines. Like "Soon to be mommy".

yeah and it makes you kinda breathless because i helped blow up the balloons. hahaha

I wouldn't have spend all that money on telling my husband i was preggers. i just taped the test on the wall behind the lou so that he would see it when he got home, he always went straight into the bathroom ack!!!!!! he wasn't too thrilled....but i wasn't either.
