30 Ways To Break The Ice Of Your Pregnancy

The appropriate time to tell your husband you’re pregnant

A surprise pregnancy announcement to your husband may require you to carefully consider the best ways to tell your husband you’re pregnant. You may be nervous telling your husband you are pregnant if it happens to be your first pregnancy after a long period of child expectation.

The best time to tell your husband you’re pregnant is at your discretion. Some people choose to tell their husbands early, immediately after they receive a positive pregnancy test result. Some people choose to wait for a couple of weeks and so on.

People who often have miscarriages  may be skeptical about telling their husbands early in case of any negative occurrences along the line. But in all of these, a pregnancy announcement to the husband is one of the most valuable and exciting pieces of information your husband would ever receive.

Therefore, telling your husband you’re pregnant as soon as you find out by using a pregnancy test strip or after concrete confirmation from a professional (doctor) is the best way to go.

The information would give your husband so much joy and enable him to commence with the necessary preparation to make your pregnancy, childbirth, and nursing period a stress-free one.

A baby announcement for dad is not like any other news. Therefore, you shouldn’t just tell your husband, “The doctor says I’m pregnant” or “I’m pregnant.” Otherwise, one or both of you would lose the fun and may not express the expected level of joy required for such great news. So, you must deliberately seek surprising, creative, romantic, cute, and fun ways to tell your husband you’re pregnant.
