Husband in denial

[Sunshining826]

Well maybe he's not fully in denial,  but he hardly talks about it or mentions the Baby.  He said he will be more excited when I start to show.   I'm 11 weeks with our first.  It makes me feel sad that he doesn't think it's "real" until he sees it more.   I told him us like faith - belief in someone unseen.  Your thoughts?

My husband was like that with our twins. He's better this time around. He's a really good daddy and has been head over hills with our babies, since they've been born. I think we (moms) expect more but of how close we are to our babies, even before they're born.. CONGRATULATIONS!! :-)

He will come around once you go to your first ultrasound. To be honest, I didn't know how to feel untill I first watched its heart beating and saw it kick. Do not forget men are 'visual creatures'.

Mine was the same way at first, if I asked he said he was excited but he didn't act like it. But you have to understand, us being pregnant barely realize it half the time, so for them it's hard to grasp. Once I started getting bigger and my husband could start feeling and seeing the kicks and rolls, he got more and more excited about baby :) he always has his hands on my belly and will talk to our baby and kiss him and he can't wait. Just give him time to come around

My husband was like that at first too - he was just terrified. At our 20 week anatomy scan is when he really came around and was super excited. He even went out of town for a training for work about a week after Thr scan and came home with a bunch of clothes from gymboree for her- talk about melting my heart!! Don't worry about it, he'll get there :)

Don't worry mine acted the same way b4 I started to show. Now he is do irritating he comes where ever I am to come and talk to/ rub my belly. You gotta realize they go through just as much as we do becoming a parent.

My husband was like that with our first.  We were quite young then too but now with our 2nd he is much more visibly excited since he knows what to expect I think.  Don't worry about how he acts during the pregnancy it is not necessarily the type of father he will be.  My husband is an amazing daddy to our first and I have known people who's bd was super excited about pregnancy and bailed on arrival.  Don't stress too much about it, just keep jhim in the loop and enjoy your pregnancy!

My baby daddy is the same I have 2 ask him how he feels about the baby but I already figured out his excited but worries bcz is his first and he don't even know how to carry a baby I being showing him some stuff nd looking video on YouTube like how to change diapers, baths the baby how 2 carried the baby how 2 dress up the baby just 2 get him comtable little by little his becoming less dinial but he gets really excited with the ultrasounds nd watching the baby movements trough my belly but he still doesn't touch it

My husband was the same. He was also just financially worried. He's excited now tho. Don't worry, he'll get there.

My husband was the same and still kind of is and I am 28 weeks now.  I get really excited and he doesn't really say much I have to ask him if he is excited each time. He was excited when we had out ultrasound at 20 weeks but that was the only time he has really said anything I feel alone at times so I understand.
