How should I react to my wifes pregnancy test??
Everyone's already said it, but I really do think honesty is the best
policy. You can't get caught out then. Be sensitive and understanding about it though, and if the test is positive and she's not so happy, it might not be the best idea to buy a truckload of pink and blue balloons! Ask her how _she_ feels, and talk it through with her, and try to avoid open displays of emotion if she's not feeling the same way. She will probably interrogate you on your feelings, just be honest. If it is positive, say, you could say to her "Well, to be honest I'm excited about the idea of being a Dad, but I know you have some reservations and concerns about parenthood. How can I be the most support to you?" Just be there, be respectful and understanding, and be yourself...she'll love you for it, eventually ;-) "Jay Golden" wrote in message om... I recently got married and my wife is now two weeks late. She did an EPT home pregnancy test after one week being late, but it came back negative. She later said that she had been drinking a ton of water and the urine was clear, so we're trying again in the morning since another week has passed... her breasts are still swollen like she's getting her period and she says she's had some minor cramps... so I don't know what to expect tomorrow when we retest... The thing is, if the test is positive, I would be pretty excited, but I don't think she'll be too excited (she would NEVER get an abortion though). Any suggestions on what the best thing to say is, in either scenario, positive or not... I don't want to seem really happy if she's not because that might freak her out... but then if I'm cavalier about it she might think I'm not sensitive??? |

When I told my lovely DH that I was pregnant he said "You're gonna get fat" - anything else you would say would be better :-)))) My DH made the mistake of calling me a "chub-wallop" once when I was pregnant. It was a total joke, but I never let him forget his cruel verbal abuse of a vulnerable pregnant woman ;-) I should think not! I weighed 147 the day I gave birth to my son (and I'm 5'7"), so I don't think I ever truly made it to chub-wallop status! Heavens, no. I started off at 125lbs, which is a good if not slightly low weight when you're 5'4". By the time YoungBloke arrived, I was closer to 170lbs! -- Linz YB: 5 months, 16lbs 6oz |
