How To Tell Your Husband You Are Pregnant - 8 Creative Ways To Let Him Know

Congratulations, you are going to be a mommy! Before you start dialling the telephone to tell everyone you know about this great news, spend some time to plan how you want to tell your husband because this is going to be a once in a lifetime event and I am sure you want it to be special for the both of you. Here's a list of 8 memorable ways to tell your husband he is going to be a dad...

- Arrange with your favorite restaurant to surprise your husband with some wine halfway through your dinner to let him know you are going to have a baby. If the restaurant has a band, ask them to play a song that you like and dedicate it to the "new dad" by announcing it to the whole restaurant.

- Create a little treasure hunt game at home and drop hints to your husband on where to find the next clue which finally leads to a prize. If you want to be really cheeky, write a message like "You are going to be a dad" on your body and tell him in the final clue that his prize is underneath your clothes.

- If your husband's birthday is round the corner, tell him you plan to give him a present but he cannot open his present until 10 months later. That should do the trick.

- Get some baby stuff and place them in strategic spots where he will see them. For example, get a baby seat and put it in your car to give him a big surprise. Alternatively, buy some baby clothes or diapers, wrap it up in a box and give it to him.

- This idea works if you already have a kid. Dress up your son or daughter with a custom shirt with the words "Big brother/sister to be!" and ask him or her to greet your husband when he comes home.

- Shout at the top of your voice to trick your husband into thinking you are in some sort of danger at home. When he arrives, flash him your best cheeky grin and show him your pregnancy test kit with the positive result!

- Prepare dinner for your husband with a variety of baby carrots, peas, corn and other mini vegetables and serve them on baby dinnerware.

- Call his office and ask someone to get him to call you back immediately with an excuse that you have a "family emergency". When he calls back, tell him you have a tiny problem and the problem will only get bigger and it will require him to do some night duty about 10 months from now.

I hope you will have lots of fun with these ideas and customize them to work for your unique situation. I look forward to hearing your stories about how you told your husband about your pregnancy.
