My partner and i are currently pregnant with our second baby it was a shock but i've come round to the idea.He on the other hand doesn't seem as excited about this one as he was with our first.When i was pregnant with Charlie he was worse than me at buying baby clothes and wanted to be at every appointment plus was always touching and talking to my bump.This time though he barely mentions it and only wants to come to the 20 wk scan and thats it.My friends say he's just being a typical man as the first one is always more special to them but i'm not sure.x
hi hun , my husband is exctly the same not in the slightest intrested e xept wen the scan comes round were as the last time he come to every lill apointment i think it is just men hun it really winds me up but wat can u do, i hope all is well xxx
hello, well as a first time dad-to-be I can't imagine not being as excited for a second child as I am now but I can't vouch for your partner, although I have heard from female friends how their partners were much less protective and fussy over their second children, probably because the first time men will and do want to be supportive as it their first time going through pregnancy and want to be as hands-on as possible but the second time around I'd imagine they think that you don't need as much attention because you've been through it before so no how to deal with things and what to expect? Hope that makes sense and has helped? Hope all goes well and i'm sure your partner is and will continue to be a great daddy ;-) take care!
i think the 1st time my partner was excited but his time he knows what coming!!-the sleep deprivation & my mood swings & every thing else that comes with it! i know he is looking 4ward to it tho!x
