DH was asleep when I poas, but when I woke him he was like 'cool, now we just need a blood test aye?' and then promptly rolled over and went back to sleep.

A couple of hours later he was so excited - he wanted to ring the world. Then he calmed down a little and said 'so what happened to all my practise?']]> Sat, 01 Aug 2009 19:25:20 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=736613&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#736613 <![CDATA[Your S.O’s reaction to the news... : After confirming with bloods I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=735465&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#735465 Author: AzzaNZ

After confirming with bloods I met DH at a nice restaurant and had them deliver the test stick in a nicely packaged box on a platter.

He started crying (we'd been TTC for 2 years and had given up)

He still has the stick. Which I think is weird cause I peed on it but my fault for delivering it to him in a restaurant I guess.]]> Fri, 31 Jul 2009 11:39:24 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=735465&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#735465 <![CDATA[Your S.O’s reaction to the news... : Both times DH has just got this...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=735130&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#735130 Author: emz

Bwahahahaha, he fainted? OMG, that is the best story ever lol

Mine was pretty standard, like many TTCers, had a very early morning POAS. 2 very very faint lines so burst into the bedroom, turned on the lights, waking DH up, so he could confirm with his sleepy sleepy eyes lol. He held it under a lamp at all angles and distances then just said (in a gruff, manly voice) "well done lady." The same way a man would say to another man "good on ya mate". Then he asked if he could please go back to sleep now.]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 18:26:23 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=734846&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#734846 <![CDATA[Your S.O’s reaction to the news... : My friend&#039;s has an amusing...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=734769&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#734769 Author: caitlynsmygirl

My friend's has an amusing story behind telling her DP .

She told him she thought she was pg , took a test and sure enough , it was, but since she was still getting spotting , she thought she better go to the dr to make sure .
Wellll, yep , she was definetly pregnant , and the dr estimated her to be around 31 weeks ! .
SO she had to go for a scan , where she was told , yep , 31 weeks, with a baby girl .

She (in shock ) text her DP saying
"definetly pregnant .
7 months .
Its a girl "

she heard nothing back from him , then 10 mins later ,his boss called and said "hi , can you come pick your boyfriend up ? he got a text and fainted " ]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:25:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=734769&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#734769 <![CDATA[Your S.O’s reaction to the news... : We had been trying for a while,...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=734449&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#734449 Author: Holstarr

We had been trying for a while, and I bought a first reponse test from the supermarket this time. It was quite a faint second line that came up and I told him straight away... "I think I'm pregnant!" he said... well don't keep you hopes up, (because we had many "I thinks..." in the past and he knew how disappointed I would be if we weren't again. Then early bleeding led to more doubts, and the first scan didn't even show an embryo. So the real joy set in when we heard the heartbeat for the first time, and we both had tears in our eyes! He's going to be a great dad! ]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 11:26:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=734449&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#734449 <![CDATA[Your S.O’s reaction to the news... : With the first one my DH said...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=734310&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#734310 Author: Bobbie

With the first one my DH said something along the lines of 'Holy Sh*t' - even though we'd been trying for 6 months. It took him about a minute to realise the significance of the 2 lines though.

With the second, DH had just got up to Rowan at 5am and was holding her when I emerged from the loo and asked him if he wanted to 'do it all again?' I'm not sure to this day if he grimaced or smiled (it was planned)]]> Thu, 30 Jul 2009 09:29:09 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=734310&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#734310 <![CDATA[Your S.O’s reaction to the news... : i called DH at work, we&#039;d...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=734307&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#734307 Author: monikah

The first time we had decided not to try anymore and move back to the UK. I told him I thought I might be pg and he said well if you are I guess its a sign we should stay here. A few days later I took the test and he was in the garden and ran out there like a mad woman grining and giggling and waving the test around and he looked at me we a half smile and said "no london then?".

The next time he told me I wasnt allowed to test until 15DPO so at 11 DPO I told him I was positive I was pg again and if my temp was still up tomorrow morning I was going to test. The next morning my temp was still up so I took the test and then got back into bed and snuggled up and whispered in his ear "morning daddy"... he just said really? cool! and went back to sleep!!! He was pretty stoked when he woke up properly though LOL.]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 20:07:46 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=733990&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#733990 <![CDATA[Your S.O’s reaction to the news... : lemongirl wrote:My partner&#039;s...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=733955&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#733955 Author: Roses are Red

Lol Kelly at the wine!!

First time I called him at work and he was pretty shocked but when I picked him up had a huge grin on his face and gave me a big hug (this one wasn't planned)

Second time (we tried for this one after miscarrying the previous) He was going I can see a line!!! Lol, first test was extremely faint and we were both just saying to each other, is there a line, there is a line there aye! When we worked it out he had a huge smile on his face again and laughed at me for having tears in my eyes, then told me I'd better get on here and let everyone know lol.

I can't remember what he said. I know he was a bit stunned though lol.

He works night so came home told me he was going to hang out in the lounge, I told him and he came into the room and turned the lounge lights and tv etc off. When I said I thought he was going to hang out the front his response was well I can't do that now can I.

He was happy though, as I had made fun of him before I tested saying that if we didn't fall pregnant this time he must be sterile

Poor DH was still in bed when I shoved the test in front of him harping on about two lines - maybe in hindsight shoving a stick I'd peed on in front of a man just waking up wasn't the most romantic of ways of telling him this time round.]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:46:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=733519&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#733519 <![CDATA[Your S.O’s reaction to the news... : My DH responded with &#034;really...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=733514&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#733514 Author: caitlynsmygirl

My DH responded with

"really ? thats great babe ....btw , I can't believe you told me this over text "

then when he got home it was
"I cant believe you told the girls in the 2ww thread before me "

My DP was the one who suggested we start ttc, when i told him, he said
'Really? oh my god' and started jumping around the car with a huge grin on his face]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 11:14:27 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=733498&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#733498 <![CDATA[Your S.O’s reaction to the news... : My partner&#039;s recation was: &#039;I...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=733453&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#733453 Author: lemongirl

My partner's recation was:

'I TOLD YOU I HAD SUPER SPERM' followed by 'I should text my best mate, at least he got six
months of trying before his wife fell pregnant.'

This response was a little surprising as the pregnancy was unplanned (I was expecting a swear word or possibly a 'are you sure?')]]> Wed, 29 Jul 2009 10:27:39 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=27745&PID=733453&title=your-s-os-reaction-to-the-news#733453
