Doubts

I'm starting to get the feeling that my boyfriend is not that excited he feels we are not financially stable enough to go thru with this pregnancy we haven't made a decision and hasn't said terminate the pregnancy but he seems strange he keeps saying it just hasn't hit him yet that I'm pregnant but his behavior is making me very nervous and stressed out I'm confused myself we do have bills left and right can anyone give me some advice I feel like my emotions are all over the place

That's because he is pregnant and doesn't feel the daily affects of being pregnant like us we have a daily reminder that we have our lil ones growing in us that's y they say women become moms when we see that plus sign but men don't become fathers til the day the lil one is born and he can hold and see him. I mean they get excited to feel the kicks and see ultrasound pictures but it's just not the same.as feeling every move, hiccup, and watching our bellys grow I'm sure he's just worried because he wants to give the baby the best and is just having doubts since it's ur first

My husband wasnt excited til he felt the baby move, now he is extremely excited and cant wait for our little one to make her appearance. Dont worry he too will soon feel excited :-)

No worries it only took mine 34 weeks to show excitement. When I talked to him about it his exact words were "if we wait for the rite time it will never come". Now he's all about getting ready for baby, he built the crib last night, pops up at Dr. appointments it's great.

This is a natural reaction for a man. Good men want to be able to support their children. This is his way of saying "what if I am not good enough?"

This is something you both need to be completely sure about either road you decide to take. These kind of things either make or break a relationship. Make sure ya'll are both on the same page whether to keep or abort your child.

My boyfriend was/is the same. He has got better and your partner will aswell.men dont feel the bond that we do untill they actually hold the baby.but as my pregnancy has gone on and the bigger i have got and all the cute things we have for our son he is actually starting to get excited. I hope everything goes well xx

like kcwayman says, u guys need to talk abt it. i had this same problem and my guy actually asked me to do away with the pregnancy, bc he is not working and he was still at university. i am working but not well paid. so we talked n sorted out things. now i'm 37+3days and we are still managing with my the little we have. i paid all the hospital and house bills, cook and even do more. i only pray since he as finish school, he should find work and help me out.

It was the same for me. I had no job the beginning of my pregnancy we already had a 3 yr old and I was very sick. But now I have a great paying job and im financially back on my feet and caught up on my bills. U just have to believe it will all work out. It may take dad a while though
