Did you panic when you found out your OH was pregnant?

aligator_am · 22-05-2011 10:36AM #1

I remember a few years back when I found out my ex (OH at the time) was pregnant, I was mad panicked, but it eased over time.

Just wondering how you reacted when you found out you were going to be a parent, did you panic or was it immediate smiles?

Also, to girls, how did you react when you found out you were pregnant?

Why, are you still running?

I didn't panic when my lover was up the duff, her husband was slightly put out though.

Never been preggers but have had recurring pregnancy nightmares since my teens.

If I found out I was pregnant, I'd react like Homer Simpson and pull all my hair out. Attractive. :cool:

Sorry things didint work out for you.

If people are trying to get pregnant it's "yippee" In not then less "yippee" i guess.

Even more fun is when youre in the latter group and find out at the scan that there's two bundles of joy on the way and not one.

My husband was in another country when I got pregnant, did I panic, maybe.

liah · 22-05-2011 11:31AM

I believe there's a epic AH story in the above post..in your own time lapin

Was like winning the lottery tbh. I imagine. I couldn't believe that I'd got something I'd wanted for so long. I know this is AH and I should probably have a more witty and multi-layered answer but there it is really. One of the top five moments in my life.

He was more than slightly put out, he divorced me.

Cat Melodeon · 22-05-2011 12:21PM

I freaked out the first time. Himself was all chuffed with himself - 'I'm a maaan, look at me all virile yadda yadda' but I was totally freaked. Immediately started having Alien-type dreams about grotesque creatures bursting out of my stomach etc. I guess himself was readier than me. This time it was sort of hyper-planned, so the biggest feeling was relief rather than joy. In any case, the joy gets a bit muted when you've just hurled for the fourth time in as many hours. Come back to me in about 6 months, I should be back to myself by then. Oh, and he's chuffed again, and hoping it's twins. Bastard.

KittyeeTrix · 22-05-2011 12:36PM

I was 19 at the time and remember thinking "What da fcuk, how will I know when a baby is sick and panicking like mad over that!!!!".......

I was soooooo scared about that, how would I know when to go to a doctor??:eek:

It's mad now looking back after having 4 kids, the eldest who is 17 today that this was my 1st thought when I was told I was pregnant:D

Azureus · 22-05-2011 12:38PM

I am terrified of falling pregnant, so I know I would freak out.
Had a scare once with himself and I was suprised at how calm we both were with it considering how much we both DIDNT want it. Lots of talking and contingency plans went on, so now I know what we would do if it happened again

I'll make a weekend of it, always liked London.

Planting seeds or sowing your oats?

My soul would be destroyed if i knocked somebody up. Your whole existance would be useless apart from dedicating your whole life to your child. I know humanity has to survive but i really have to question people who intentionally have children. They must have emotional issues.
