After returning your knickers to their rightful place, the first thing you want to do when you find out you're pregnant is tell your partner. Whilst shouting "I'm pregnant" typically works, doing something special will make the moment more memorable for both of you. Planning it out also gives you the chance to film it, so you can share it with friends and family and eventually your child! We've got some fun and cute ideas on how you can share your joyous news - and once you've shared the news, don't forget to check out our collections for everything you'll need for the journey ahead.
Team up with your pets to create the cutest moment. You could attach the test to their collar or get them to bring over an item of baby clothing. This is a fool proof way to get the tears flowing. (Though save the happy tears for later - you might need our labour essential oil inhalation stick when the big day arrives!)
Leave out clues that aren't usually in your home like pregnancy magazines, baby name books or dummies. You could even casually place some morning sickness wristbands on the coffee table. Things that will all come in useful in the future. This is one of the more subtle ways to reveal your news.
Turn your reveal into a fun scavenger hunt for your partner. Leave them out a series of clues getting them closer and closer to discovering your positive pregnancy test - perhaps ending with our ultimate morning sickness pregnancy kit as the final reveal!
Get creative in the kitchen and decorate a cake with your announcement. If morning sickness hits before you can share the news, keep some peppermint oil bon bons handy while you're baking!
Get your family together to take a photo and as the camera clicks, announce your pregnancy. You'll get to see those surprised faces forever.
Balloons are a quick and easy prop to get your hands on. "I'm pregnant" might be a few too many balloons to blow up so I think "baby" or "preggo" will get the message across. If you're feeling queasy while inflating, our morning sickness essential oil nasal stick can help!
Put your positive test, or tests, somewhere your partner will quickly stumble across it - maybe alongside a pregnancy pack to show you're already thinking ahead. This is easy and simple and can be done seconds after you find out but will still create a special moment for you two.
You don't want the clue's to be too difficult to figure out, so this bun pun is a funny and straight to the point idea. Place a timer on the oven and let your partner find what's inside. You could even add a box of organic raspberry leaf tea next to the bun for an extra hint!
An easy and cute idea is to tie a bow around your waist with a gift tag with "I'm pregnant" written on it. Once the celebrations are over, a relaxing soak with our therapeutic bath soaks can help you unwind from all the excitement.
Baking or bringing them a selection of sweet treats is a good idea as when they're tucking in you can mention that it would be nice if they put on some weight in the next 9 months as well. Perhaps pair the treats with some ginger gins for when morning sickness strikes! Plus then you can celebrate by finishing off the baked goods.
If you think your children could keep the surprise on the down-low, there are so many ways you can get them involved in telling your partner. You could get them a t-shirt saying big brother or sister, however this could take a few days to source. Or, you could get creative and even let them make their own. This also makes for a great family photo. Don't forget to stock up on pregnancy teas for each trimester!
Buy some nappies and dummies and let your partner unpack your shopping. Maybe slip in a postpartum recovery kit too - it won't take long for them to figure out your news!
Take the test without looking at the results and leave it out for your partner to discover. Meaning you can both share the surprise. If you've been trying for a while, you might already have some organic fertility tea in the cupboard that gave you that extra boost!
Highlight your due date on the calendar and leave it an obvious place for your partner to find. You could circle it and add a note about needing postpartum recovery tea and a postpartum essential oil stick for after baby arrives!
Buy whatever food your baby is the size of, earlier on it's usually the size of a blueberry or a poppyseed. When your partner asks why you've served them a plate of blueberries you can explain that this is the current size of your baby. Once baby's here and if you're breastfeeding, our lactation tea can help support your milk flow.
However you choose to tell your partner the good news, don't stress too much about the details. The most important part is that you two are going to be parents so whether you got a picture perfect moment or not you will always remember this and the moments to come.
