Top bad ideas
according to my version, of course:
Photo session surprise
This is when the husband is told the news on camera in order to take a photo of his stunned face. Why is the idea bad? Firstly, because a man can react painfully to being made a fool. And in general, not everyone likes to be the target of pranks.
Secondly, you will probably see in the photographs not delight, as expected, but a mixture of mourning and panic. And what? The first reaction may not be symmetrical to the occasion)
But if you are the kind of family where this format of communication is the norm, then this method will suit you perfectly.
The message seems to be from a baby
At the stage of entry into parenthood, people often begin to have a mess with pronouns. This “we pooped” appears, women begin to talk about themselves in the third person or voice what the child is supposedly “saying.” I encourage you to pay attention to such things and not forget who is who.
It is better to make a message “from the Stork”. On one forum I read a funny story about how a wife at night renamed her number in her husband’s phone to “Stork”, and in the morning sent a text message “I’m flying out, I’ll be there in April, wait.”
Inscription on the belly
It seems like a good idea, but it always looks bad. True, I don’t rule out that it might turn out cool for someone)
The pacifier as a symbol of the baby
What I love is when a pacifier or bottle is used as a symbol for the baby! I take this opportunity to inform you that these items are not at all indispensable companions for the baby. It is important to know that they can cause harm to the child, as they interfere with the establishment of breastfeeding - the most important basis for the health and successful development of the child.
TOP 26 ways to tell your loved one about pregnancy
Sweet gift
If your husband also has a sweet tooth, then you can pamper him with a delicious cake, but also with a hidden meaning. There are a lot of options for exactly how to tell about your pregnancy:
- Inscription on the cake;
- A figurine of a stork with a baby made of mastic;
- Two strip test;
- Filling in the form of two stripes.
If you don’t want a cake, then order these cupcakes that are so fashionable today. They will be especially helpful if you decide to announce such good news not in an intimate setting, but among friends or relatives. Then everyone will get an individual portion of sweets.
If you yourself love to bake, then make delicious cookies or gingerbread for your husband’s tea in the morning, of course, with the appropriate inscription.
T-shirt with an original print or inscription
T-shirt for husband
You can order and give your loved one a T-shirt that says:
- I will become a dad, but I don’t know about it yet.
- In nine months there will be three of us.
- All that remains is to plant a tree and build a house.
- My wife is pregnant.
The inscription can be anything. You can come up with it yourself, or find a suitable option on the Internet. Also, not only words, but also an image are suitable. It could be something cartoonish or something more serious. A great option would be a photo from your first ultrasound.
The most important gift
You can talk about pregnancy in the form of a gift. This option is especially suitable if you decide to reveal this secret before some holidays. Ideal for birthdays, February 23, Valentine's Day, New Year. Just put your positive pregnancy test in a box and wrap it like a gift with a bow. Or you can put it in a greeting card. Then all you have to do is hand the gift to your husband and watch his reaction.
Share the joy with your loved ones
Talk about your pregnancy during a group photo
Invite your family and friends, all those with whom you will be happy to share this important news. Then offer to look through old photographs during the feast. In advance, add a photo from your first ultrasound or pregnancy test to the album.
Another good option is to say “I’m pregnant” while everyone is taking pictures. And, most importantly, ask the photographer not to stop. Let him capture the surprise on their faces, joy and congratulations from loved ones addressed to you and your husband.
At the bottom of the plate
Surprise at the bottom of the plate
Cook your husband his favorite dish. Then tape a piece of paper to the bottom of the clear plate that says “I’m pregnant” or “you’re about to become a dad.” You can do the same with a pregnancy test. Then put the food on the plate and wait until your husband eats everything and sees the surprise you have prepared.
Also, it may not be a plate, but a mug. Order a special cup that changes color when heated. As soon as the husband pours tea into it, he will see the inscription appear.
SMS from the stork
A very funny and original way to inform your spouse about your pregnancy. At night, when he falls asleep, take his phone and rename yourself in it to the word “Stork”. Then in the morning or during the day, send your loved one a message with the text “Already departed, expect in nine months.” Perhaps the husband will not understand what is going on at first. But afterwards he will be very happy with such an original surprise.
Inscription on the asphalt
Inscription on the asphalt
This method is suitable not only for creative girls, but also for risky and brave ones. If previously guys confessed their love with inscriptions on the asphalt, now this way you can also say about pregnancy. Early in the morning or at night, write under the windows with spray paint or chalk about your situation. Don't forget to add who the message is addressed to. Otherwise, all the men living in the entrance will simply be shocked.
Inscription on the tummy
Inscription or drawing on the stomach
A very simple, but no less original way to tell your loved one about your current situation. Take a marker and write “I’m pregnant” or “your baby lives here” on your belly. Then in the evening, when you are lying on the couch together and watching TV, ask your husband to scratch your tummy. Pretend that you are busy and cannot do it yourself. And when he lifts the T-shirt, he will see the inscription. His joy will know no bounds, just look.
Note in pocket
Write a note and slip it into his pocket
Delicious news
We invited our parents to dinner to tell them the news about my pregnancy. We pre-ordered a cake for dessert that said “you are grandparents.” It was difficult to control ourselves throughout the entire dinner, but we managed to keep the news quiet until dessert.
Seven months later, we played “words” to communicate the name we had chosen for our baby.
Unusual options for telling your husband about pregnancy
Finding out that a little baby will soon appear in the family is an exciting event for both women and men. But if the expectant mother learns about conception from a doctor or by taking a test, the new dad will only be able to get this information from his wife. How can you tell your husband about your pregnancy so that he remembers this day for the rest of his life? Let's figure it out.
Prank from friends
To do this, you will have to tell your friends about the pregnancy, who will need to be asked to play a prank on their spouse. One evening you can organize a spontaneous party to which mutual friends will be invited.
Those, in turn, will begin to come to your home with gifts that hint that a new addition is expected in the family. These can be pink and blue balls with the image of a baby, rattles, booties, baby vests. At first, the expectant mother will have to play along a little and accept the souvenirs in bewilderment. When all the guests have gathered, everyone will have to unanimously congratulate the puzzled daddy.
First of all, you need to somehow discreetly sign your phone number to Stork (for example, the number was signed “beloved wife”, but you need to write stork). During the day, when your loved one is at work, send him an SMS with an intriguing text:
- Option one. “I’m already flying to you. Expect an addition in about 9 months.”
- Option two. “Hello daddy.”
- Option three. “Hi daddy. I’m in my mom’s tummy, but I really want to meet you.”
Rest assured, your husband will be in a hurry to return home more than ever.
On radio or television
This method is only suitable if you are sure that your spouse will listen to the radio all day and will not miss your message.
Then you can call the local radio station and ask the host to solemnly congratulate the child’s father on the joyful event live.
The text may be as follows: “Attention! This is a special message for (for example) Ivan Ivanov. We want to congratulate you! You will soon become a dad."
You can also order congratulations on television. To do this, you need to call or go to the employees of the television service in your city and ask them to congratulate their husband on the imminent addition to the family in some suitable program. The text of the message may be approximately the same as for the radio.
Rise and shine!
I tried to get pregnant for a very long time for several months. I was desperate and did not have the slightest desire to do another test. This morning I woke up early and decided that I would take a pregnancy test today since it was time. When I saw the positive result, I couldn’t believe my eyes. I rubbed my eyes again and again and looked at the test, making sure I saw everything correctly.
I heard my husband go to the bath, so I quickly ran into the bedroom and put the test on his pillow. When he, sleepy, literally buried his face in the test, he also did not believe his eyes.
Other creative options
The news of pregnancy should be remembered for a long time. Therefore, expectant mothers are ready for any fantastic ideas, just to present this information to their lover in an interesting and unusual way.
- Buy a Kinder Surprise, carefully remove the egg without damaging the chocolate halves. Remove the toy and place the two strip test in its place. Pack everything back up and give it to your husband for dessert.
- Bake or order a cake with the inscription “We will soon become parents.” Send it to work by courier and wait for a reaction.
- Edit a video that will consist of photos of you together. On the last slide put a picture with the inscription “You will soon become a dad.”
- Organize a romantic dinner for your spouse, who will soon be home from work. Serve for three people. For the third, put a set of baby dishes and be sure to complete the whole look with a bottle and pacifier.
- Buy a topical book, such as How to Be a Good Dad, and use your two-line test instead of a bookmark.
- Order a special mug that, when heated, will display your message, for example, “You are the best dad” or “We are about to become parents.”
- Order a T-shirt with the print “To the Best Dad” and give it to your husband.
- Organize a trip to a restaurant. Ask the waiter to give your spouse a note that says: “I’m already flying. I’ll be closer to autumn (for example).”
- Place a large head of cabbage in the refrigerator and stick a note on it that says, “I’m waiting for you to pick me up in 9 months.”
- Bake pies and place a note in one of them that says “I’m pregnant.” Be sure to mark this pie for yourself somehow or immediately give it to your lover.
There are many options, but you need to choose the one that suits your liking and the temperament of your spouse.
In the kitchen
In the kitchen, you can also implement several ways to announce your pregnancy in an original way.
- Place the magnet letters on the refrigerator in the appropriate inscription.
- If you usually leave your husband a note in the morning, use this as another way to uniquely announce your pregnancy. Write in the last sentence “By the way, I’m pregnant.”
