How do I tell my bf I'm pregnant?
For about the last 6 weeks I've felt terrible. Been very nauseated, heart burn, sore boobs, headache, sore back, crampy uterus, textures make me sick to my stomach, I've been getting dizzy and almost passing out when I stand for a long time. I had negative tests even after I missed my period so I waited a week, took a little trip out of state and tested again today. Since my last test I've been getting the headaches, sore boobs, my temp went up so I tested today and got a positive. I was starting to think I was crazy because I had all the symptoms and negative tests but now got my positive. We had sex the other night and didn't even go for as long or anything as we usually do and I'm all banged up and so sore. We do go slow sometimes and it's gonna have to be that way for now on. I have a big knot on my knee, bruises, my hips were sore, my thighs and uterus were cramping and I really thought I was getting my period but it didn't come and I got my positive test now.

I would first be prepared form his reaction. Mentally prepare yourself just in case he takes the news hard. He may ask questions like "how did this happen" or "I thought you were on the pill/shot/birth control". Mentally be perpared to answer those questions and give him space to think and let the news sink in. If you two are not living together, you may want to tell him somewhere semi public (walking in the park, meeting for lunch...) this way you can tell him, and then if it does not go well, can leave without too much awkwardness. He may need the rest of the day or even a couple of days before it sinks in that he will be a dad. As far as how to tell him, just be honest. There are a million "cute" ideas you can try but the bottom line is if you put a lot of effort into the reveal and it goes bad, you will be more upset than just telling him. Good Luck!!!
