My fiance is 10 weeks pregnant. Since we found out that we're pregnant, at first we were happy. Now she hates me and at times she says that doesn't want the baby and at times she's inlove with the fact that she's going to be a mother. I love her more than ever but at times I can't take it anymore. She's emotionaly straining me and at times I feel like I'm not good enough for her.

I know that this is hard on you, but just try to take a step back and put yourself in her shoes. Could you imagine coping with the fact that there is a life growing inside you and every little thing you do affects it? Its a lot to deal with as a mother. Hormones are flying and emotions are running high. It is normal for her to be so moody and for her mind to change at the drop of a hat, thats just how us preggos are! I am not trying to play light on your feelings, because I imagine that it is very hard dealing with our crazy emotions on top of getting ready to be a new dad. Just try to be supportive of her and let her know you are there if she needs you. You will both get through this. And, mood swings tend to settle down a little after the 3 month, if that gives you a little peace of mind. Good luck!

Hi Roke. I'm currently trying to put together a book for new dads and pregnancy-related mood swings. I would like permission to use some of your quotes in the book and would send you a release form. Let me know if you are open to this and I'll take it to the next step. Thanks.
