You thought you had it all figured out. Your Scorpio guy was committed, you were on the same page about the future, and life was cruising along on autopilot. Then bam! Two pink lines stare back at you from the pregnancy test, and suddenly, things aren’t so smooth anymore. Now what? How will your intense Scorpio man react to this curveball?
Scorpio Man’s Initial Reaction
Scorpios are really thoughtful people despite being a water sign. If you tell a Scorpio something important, like you’re pregnant or planning a big trip, they’re going to really mull it over in their head. And even for smaller things, like if you mention buying a new pair of shoes, they’ll instantly start thinking through the details. Scorpios are big-time overthinkers no matter what the topic is.
Shock And Disbelief
When you first break the news about the unplanned pregnancy, expect shock and disbelief. As a fixed sign, Scorpios like to feel in control of situations. An unplanned pregnancy will shock him. He may question the accuracy of the test or claim it’s impossible or not his. Give him space to process it. His first reaction isn’t necessarily how he truly feels..it’s just him and his nature.
Withdrawal
Once the shock wears off, his instinct may be to withdraw into his cave. Don’t bombard him with questions or demands during this time. Scorpios are deep thinkers and need to work through emotions internally. He may become moody or irritable. Again, exercise patience. This withdrawal period is temporary, even if it’s difficult.
Acceptance
After he processes his emotions, his practical side will come out. He’ll want to have a rational, objective talk about what to do next. While the pregnancy was unplanned, his sense of duty will kick in. He’ll commit to you and the baby. A Scorpio man makes a devoted, protective father.
He’s probably started talking about names, gender, and all the things he wants to teach his kid. Scorpios are passionate, whether it’s physical or emotional or taking care of a baby. So once he gets over the shock, you’ll find he’s fully on board and excited to start this new chapter together.
Scorpios Make Great Dads
As a Scorpio dad, protecting his family is one of his top priorities. His kids will always know that he has their back no matter what. Now I know what you may be thinking – he sounds a little overprotective. Well you aren’t wrong, Scorpio dads do have a tendency to come on strong in the protectiveness department at first. But it really does just come from a place of love.
He wants to make absolutely sure that nothing bad ever happens to his babies. Keeping them safe is so important to him. It may take his kids a little while to convince him they can handle themselves as they get older. But deep down, he knows they will eventually need to spread their wings on their own.
Final Words
This intense guy may be all over the emotional map when you drop the baby bomb on him. He could go from shock to joy to fear and everything in between faster than you can say “mood swing.” But if you two have a solid foundation, he’ll likely come around once the initial shock wears off.
