Pregnancy Info HOME

I have no idea im in the same boat with my bf lol of you ahve yahoo you can add me and we can talk perfect_innocent_angel69@yahoo.com

Men have trouble sometimes showing how they feel, esp expressing that in words. It may be as simple as his hand on your stomach, a smile or a hug/kiss, but to him inside he could be expressing all his emotions, feeling thrilled and excited and absolutely in bliss. Dont put too much pressure on him, usually the smallest things men do mean the most. Good luck with your pregnancies, xo

I'm with whatisgoingon. Not every man is going to pull a Ricky Ricardo and sing "we're havin a baby" to you in front of a room full of strangers. :) And in my experience we mommies can be pretty emotionally needy when pregnant so even if he does sing to ya, you'd probably tell him he did it wrong or lacked the proper expression. Don't stress....if he's willin to put up with your moodiness, goes after your craving for Taco Bell in the middle of the night and occasionally gives you a foot rub, he's right there with you. If you need extra attention and encouragement, say the words to him!! He can't read your mind and if he really loves you and the baby, he'll do what he can to set your heart at ease.

I knew a guy who after he found out brought her tiny baby shoes to work, that seemed sweet to me :P
That said my hubby is pretty quiet about it, tho I know he is excited. Maybe he'll be better after the o/s but who cares as long as he loves us :)

I'd agree with whatisgoingon and ruinous79 if he was doing that. But he doesn't do any of it. I want him to put his hands on my belly or even talk to me about the baby, but no. I asked him to stop at pizza hut to get me breadsticks on the way from home and he said no. I could go get it myself. It was on his way home, not out of his way and he said I could pack the kids up and go myself.

It sounds like you have a bigger problem than just getting him to show interest. Was he like this with any of your previous pregnancies?

He was great with my other pregnancy. We have twin boys and he was excited beyond belief with that one. That is why I am so shocked about him showing no interest for this one. He says he's excited, but he sure doesn't act like it.

I would be concerned about depression then. Have you talked to him about things? Perhaps he needs to talk to a professional.
