After the early signs of pregnancy, when should you tell?

The fact that this question was posed to an outside forum instead of a counselor indicates that you are not comfortable with talking with your boyfriend or husband about unexplained and unexpected events. The video that is a part of  How to Tell Unsuspecting Boyfriend of Pregnancy  is from a man's point of view. He is saying that you should speak calmly to your boyfriend or husband and let him know that you are pregnant right after the early signs of pregnancy. From the female point of view, you should not try to hide your pregnancy from your unsuspecting boyfriend. The stages of pregnancy is going to happen even if you do not tell your husband or boyfriend. Pregnancy is not something that you can hide. By delaying telling your unsuspecting boyfriend or husband about your pregnancy, you are in fact putting yourself in a worrisome situation.

You need to tell your unsuspecting boyfriend or husband as soon as possible to get the worrisome weight off of your shoulders. You must, however, consider, the nature of your boyfriend or husband as the gentleman on the video suggests. If your boyfriend or  husband does not like surprises and is a calm person,then tell him right away. By prolonging your "confession" you are only adding to the burden of having to tell him.

Look at it this way. What can he do except maybe ask you to perform an operation that you probably do not want to consider. You should not contemplate blocking a baby's entrance into the world because of unplanned parenthood. There are public service agencies available to you that can give you suggestions on the aftermath of your pregnancy.

Also your telling your unsuspecting boyfriend or husband that you are pregnant is not a confession because you did nothing wrong. In holy matrimony and wedded bliss dictates that you need to profess and then call family and friends to get the baby shower ready. If you are not married and two of  you are in love with each other, the pregnancy is an added symbol of love and you should not hesitate to tell.

If you husband is beligerent, it is still suggested that you tell him right away but you know your husband, so you need to wait until the right moment. However, do not prolong telling of your pregnancy  until you are actually showing because the anger will only be built up over the months that you withheld information that is going to change both of your lives.

It is absurb to keep this information about the impending birth of a baby a secret from your unsuspecting boyfriend or husband because you both  consumated the union in love and the pregnancy resulted  out of your love for each other. Why not tell your husband of such a happy event? Your willingness to tell perfect strangers before telling your husband indicates that maybe the announcement is not such as happy occasion.

If your finances are not ready for the pregnancy, then you must still tell your husband. If you are still able to walk briskly without any harm, take a walk, then take a deep breaths and come out with ithe news of your pregnancy. Exercise loosens up your inhibitions and you will want to free yourself of the information you may have made a burden by making the announcement immediately after your exercise routine. You will find that the adrenalin will give you the added push you need to just tell him that you are pregnant. What ever you do, lay off alcohol as you want to have a healthy pregnancy..

You should not wait until you are showing and should see a doctor immediately irregardless of  your unsuspecting boyfriend or husband's thoughts about the matter.. You need to take care of yourself if you are pregnant. Women are naturally nurturers and you should get started right away taking care of yourself. You may also need to seek counseling and find out what kind of relationship you are in that you can not talk to your boyfriend or husband honestly about your pregnancy.. The news of your pregnancy should be a happy and joyous event especially since you both either married to each other or showed love that resulted in your being pregnant. 

Now, go and get the word out to your unsuspecting boyfriend or husband if you are pregnant.



Do Not Let this Secret Hang Over Your Head

Do not let this secret hang over your head. You did not make the baby yourself, and the courts will see that you will not have to support the baby yourself if he decides to bolt. If he decides to bolt then he must not have been such a great man as you thought he was. A real man will stand up to his responsibilities and will honor his wife and baby with the needed emotional and financial support. A real man would welcome the new addition to the family because of the representationof the two of you as one loving couple and now one loving family with a child.

But you are having to ask a forum about what to do before even mentioning anything at all to your husband. It is absolutely absurb that you are timid and hesitant about telling your husband about a situation that the two of you conceived together. You did not make the baby yourself and you must keep remembering that fact as you calmly tell him that one on one makes for a new addition to the family..

This person is telling the truth because my girlfriend is 34 weeks Pregnant right now. And I didn't find out until right before fathers day from her Mom pointing at her Belly telling me look she is Pregnant. All Women need to know if you hide it you make us guys think you are cheating on us.

My girlfriend is bi-polar and I can understand a little why she did this to me because of that fact.
