First Time Dads

Im 20 and told my spouse i was pregnant as soon as i knew. He's so insensitive to my symptoms(stinky stuff,etc) and thinks im bein rude. How do i get him to see how i feel?

There is a book called what to expect when your partner is expanding I heard it was a great book for guys. But remember men and women are totally different and handle pregnancy completely different. Just give him some time and I'm sure he will come around. My husband didn't start to get really exited until I was about 30 weeks when we had a 3d ultrasound done and now he is always rubbing my belly and talking to our little girl.

This is pretty typical. It may feel like he is being insensitive but they are really just clueless. With my first I was a lot more annoyed by my husband's cluelessness. It only really hit him what was going on when my son was born. The light bulb finally illuminated when he saw his son. I have to say that this time around he is a lot more helpful but he still doesn't understand some of the symptoms. At least you have a place to vent!

Its the way guys are. My bf tells me i'm a baby cry and that all I do is complain.  Men don't get it. I wanna see them carrying all this extra weight in this heat and trying to sleep with a big belly.

He was excited when i first told him and a day later its like he just doesnt get it. Smh Its so annoyin cuz i want him to b more aware of wats happenin to me... I guess only time will tell. Pray for me and i'll pray for u! :)

My partner is insensitive at times, well most of the time. We are having our second, I feel like Im going through this by myself.....again. Sum men accept becoming a dad beta than others, such a shame really.

In my experience there really is no way cause they have no idea...the only thing i would say is ask him to read about it...you could get what to expect when expecting if he would read about it...if not you can do what i did with my first and didnt tell him anything that was happening...the "silent" treatment worked for about a week then he started asking questions...guys just dont understand what our minds and bodies go through.
