Pregnant, Now What?! What to Do with a Positive Pregnancy Test

Whether you're with the dad-to-be at the time you take the pregnancy test or you call him with the good news, before letting it travel any further, take some time to let the reality of your pregnancy set in for just the two of you. You'll want to get on the same page about your game plan - will you tell your families right away, wait until your first doctor's visit, or wait until you're through with your first trimester? It's a personal decision for every couple, and to avoid mixed signals or hurt feelings, it's important to be in agreement. It's also kind of nice to revel in sharing such a major, life-altering secret, so allow yourselves to embrace the excitement - this is a big deal!
