How did your OH react to your BFP?

Hello ladies! Well, last week's BFP is gradually sinking in and I'm trying to be as positive as possible about it. As you are aware, I got my first faint positive last Monday, which was confirmed on Tuesday. I told my OH on that day and his first reaction was "try and put it out of your head". What's that supposed to mean? I didn't tell him about my little hitch on Wednesday with stupid testing but after seeing "1-2 pregnant" on a CB digi, I have been feeling more positive. Anytime I mention the pregnancy, he comes up with a wait-and-see response. He's expecting me to "forget about it" until the 12 week scan. I know that it's probably his way of coping with the situation, as he wants this as much as I do. I think us ladies cannot just switch off - from the moment you get that BFP, you are emotionally and physically involved. How can I forget when I'm already queezy in the mornings (at only 4+1 weeks), bulky tender boobs and dull headache?!?! (All of which are reassuring for me, atm)


I know that the TFMR hit my OH hard and as much as he hid it, he grieved terribly after our loss. However, I want to have an early scan and a Harmony test before 12 weeks - I know he's going to tell me that I am worrying excessively. I just want a little reassurance...


It may sound like OH is being unsupportive but I think it's just his way of coping. Denial that it may be happening as self preservation...


How did your OH react to your BFP after TFMR? Is my OH's reaction an unusual one? I know he'll be great but at the moment, he seems to be burying his head in the sand...


xx
