Forum : Pregnancy

Hang in there hun, is he in denial or wishes he was!!, hopefully given time he;ll come round hun, take care theres always someone to talk to on here xxxx

How far gone are you? My fiance was ok but as soon as there was a bump i think it hit him and he was so much better. Men really don't connect as instantly as we do (which i suppose should be expected considering we're thew one's going through it and feel everything). I don't think we can expect too much but may be talk to him, take care hun x x x

I was the exact same as you! Although I didn't want any special treatment from anyone else at work and stuff I did expect a bit more pampering from my partner. He was always nice to me but no more than usual and I was really quite gutted! We now have a 6month old baby and are getting on great as a family.

Maybe you should just come out and tell him how you feel? I wish I had done that now as pregnancy doesn't happen that often and its only for 9months so make the most of it and relax xxx

Luckily , my partner is very supportive 90% of the time but i think thats cos sickness etc is over.
I feel lonely cos i feel i have lost a lot of my close friends as i am the first out my close nit circle to be pregnant. I guess i am just still finding it hard to adapt even at 24 when i not a young and carefree. I feel iv had to grow up rather swiftly.

Just have a look at all the other posts about us complaining about our men and you will soon see you are not alone!! Although my husband is as supportive as he can be (being a man and not having the first clue what its like to be pregnant) just remember he doesnt know whats going on inside you. men will probably never be all we want them to be but we love them anyway, faults and all. Once baby comes and he has something to look at and feel I am sure he will be a great dad.. xx

Thanks for the advice everyone. I would prefer him not to be that interested now rather than later when i do need him! I guess it hasn't really sunk in for either of us yet! did it take anyone else a while to realise what was going on? x x x

at 20 weeks i still have days where i think, hang on a sec is this really happening but then i get a sharpe kick from bump, a little early i know but my mid wife says i got a very active one, even showed off on the scan !

I can tell that my little one is gonna be like her dad, when ever we go for a scan she puts her arms in the way so they can't check her out. that or she won't move up! helpful like her father!! lol

i thpught that ma boyfreind would enjoy talking about everything thats gonna be happein through these next 5 months but i feel like he doesnt want to talk about stuff and discuss the pram and that is this a usal thing to feel though ?

I know what you mean. I wanted my boyfriend to do the same. He felt her kick for the first time the other day and now i think it has sunk in for him and he is always asking if she is awake. I think they change when they experience something like that, they know its real then!! x x
