Baby daddy...

So I am almost 10 weeks pregnant with my 3rd baby and my boyfriend seems uninterested in the pregnancy...he was so excited at first and now just seems freaked out I guess...it's really scaring me cuz I have no family support due to being 3,000 miles away from my family...this is his first child and he's a bit younger than me (9 years to be exact) is this normal? Will he come around or am I just destined to be alone?

Sounds to me like totally normal. Even women sometimes go through those fazes. Im sure he will come around. To calm yourself though you should talk with him. Let him know that you understand if he is a lil freaked out and that your there if he needs to talk but dont leave out that he is sorta freaking you out also and you need some reassuring too. Im sure its all gonna be fine. Good luck :)

I've tried talking to him and he just says he busy trying to work and get ready to support a family but things have definitely changed in the way he treats me now...we don't get alot of time together so that makes it hard too...we are planning to move in together soon so maybe that'll help

My partner was excited at first, and doesn't seem interested in name choosing or the pregnancy at all. This is my 3rd and his 1st. A woman because a mother when she finds out she's pregnant, but a man doesn't become a father until he sees his baby.

Hey mom ? How far have you been with him ?  How long ? How old is he ? Hopefully he wants to get married with you . It will be a blessing  !!!!!! Just take it easy  mami . Just make sure you don't keep having  more kids after this pregnancy  remember that it's hard to support a family  life has changed a lot  . The economy is not as go as it used to be before  . Try to think positive  hopefully  he settled down with you and help him to feel secure about this new beautiful journey.  God bless you.

You've gotten some good advice above.  He'll probably come around.  I think women get super into their pregnancies and in truth, until the baby arrives, it's not all that exciting for the guy.  They kind of want their wife back, ya know?  

So, give him a chance and hopefully he falls in love with his baby.  Is he good to your other kids?

He's 22 years old and we've only been together a few months...this was a accidental pregnancy but very much wanted tho...I'm 31 and have 2 boys already with my ex husband...he is very good with my boy's and adores his little 1 yr old niece...since finding out tho he changed said he wanted to marry me and now no longer talks about it...he works ALOT so it's difficult to arrange time together...I have a ultrasound coming up monday so I'm hoping him seeing the baby will also help...he's a hard working man and I appreciate that but I need him too right now...thanks for all your advise I feel a lil better hearing I'm not the only one
