A lot of women find out that they are pregnant while alone, and without their partner and loved ones next to them. And with the excitement of the positive result from the pregnancy test, many can’t wait to tell their spouse, family and friends. But before you run off and tell your partner, or call your parents, think about some unique ways to let your love ones know that you are pregnant. Read some of the following for examples of how to break the news to your spouse or partner and family .

If father’s day is coming, one of the best surprise and gift that you can give your partner is to let him know that he will soon be a father. You can buy something that you think is cute that will get the point across to him just by looking at it. For example, you can buy your baby’s first shoe, outfit, socks, etc. It doesn’t have to be expensive, just something that will get the point across without you saying a word. This news could also be used as a surprise for his birthday. And if you know the sex of your baby, you can also get things like baby shirts that says, daddy’s little girl. Or get a mug, key chain, etc. that says it’s a boy.

If you know that your parents would be just excited as you are with the news, you can also surprise them, along with the rest of your family during a dinner by giving them a little present. For the presents, you can buy or have a shirt made that says I’m a Grandma/Grandpa. You can also give them little mugs, mouse pad, etc. that says things like I’m a Grandma/Grandpa.

Be creative and think of things that would surprise your partner or parents and give them something that they would enjoy and use if possible. Choosing a holiday, or special day to break the news of your pregnancy to your partner or parents will make that day even more special and one to be remembered for years to come.
