I agree with Grandmatobe.He's scared to death like any young guy would be. I wouldn't take everything he says right now too seriously.My husband was scared also but,as soon as he heard the heartbeat he was excited. Then when he saw the baby on ultrasound,he fell in love.You won't lose him just because your pregnant. He just needs some time to adjust to the fact that he is going to be a Dad. He's scared. Maybe he feels that he won't be a good Dad.Give him some space and just take it one day at a time.  Enjoy everyday that you are pregnant.It is very early in your pregnancy. You can ask him to go with you to hear the heartbeat and then the ultrasound at around 18 weeks.They should know the sex of the child by then.That will be a very exciting experience for him.
  I hope that everything works out for you and him.Enjoy your pregnancy.It is a gift from God.    *********Debbie**********

I think it is very normal for everyone to be nervous when they first find out they are expecting.  Perhaps he will warm up to the idea when/if he sees the baby on an ultrasound and you start showing and he can feel the baby kick.  This seems to make the situation "real".  During the first trimester, you have no "evidence" of a baby, except for an ultrasound or heartbeat, but it doesn't seem to hit home until you can "see" the growth occurring.

I hope he accepts the baby over time, but in the meantime, take it easy and take good care of yourself.

Having a baby is scaring for any first time mom and dad.he is probably very nervous.Im sure he will bond perfectly with the baby.and if not as previous poster said,you can go it alone,with the help of family and friends.I had my son 16 years ago,his father didnt want to know,and i brought him up vertually single handed so dont fret,relax and enjoy being pregnant.
