Currently got a positive pregnancy test. It’s late here. My boyfriend of almost a year needs to be told. Looking for opinions for the best way to tell him or the right time to tell him? He lives an hour away and I am with him on the weekends. We were not at all planning this and I have been on birth control.

Better drive the hour and tell him face to face coz it’s going to be a shock if it’s not planned or discussed I’m guessing… be brave things happen for a reason my mum always told me

I literally just texted my kids dad everytime I was pregnant. Idk why I never told him when home.
I got a clothes gift box and filled it will colorful paper grass, I added in my positive test, a baby rattle, and a shirt that days future daddy. And another babystuff you see from the dollar store
I gave my husband, who was my boyfriend at the time, a basket with the book “What to Expect When You Are Expecting” and non alcohol champagne.
Honestly, go see him and have a private chat. It’s a big thing and unplanned so it might be best to just sit and talk through it all. I wouldn’t spring a big surprise unless you are fairly confident he’s going to be excited. Remember too, some times it takes a minute to sink in if it’s unexpected so if the conversation goes sideways, just go home and tell him you’ll talk to him later when everyone’s has a chance to process. You don’t need a huge argument that’s going to stress you out. I hope though that you can both figure this out in a positive way 
I always just handed over the positive test

I saw a video of a woman who made a popsicle out of the test and give it to her mate not too long ago
Drive there and surprise him with a visit. Go for lunch and order a bigger meal, when he looks at you like " you gunna eat all that " just be like
" yeah babe, eatin for two as of this morning "
He’ll be confused, and you tell him, that you’re pregnant

Nothing changes someones life more than parenthood, if for some reason your afraid of his reaction that says alot, he should know right away because its not about you guys anymore
You could tell him to read this post
I wouldn’t do some big reveal honestly. It’s been a year and he isn’t expecting this because of the birth control so he may not react very excited. He may be upset or shocked and need a minute to process. I would maybe just tell him face to face without all the frilly stuff and future daddy stuff. I’m not trying to scare you and he can’t be to mad cause it’s the risk you take with sex but I would just tell him by showing him the test. Some guys turn into total jerks and will accuse you of not taking the birth control properly or stopping it on purpose to trap them yadda yadda
