what do I do?

How do you make your significant other realize that although pregnancy is scary, you can get through it together?  Even when his family is negative which makes things worse ?

My approach is to be realistic with him.  Sometimes just saying 'everything will be okay' doesn't really work because in truth, that isn't always the case. So, ask him what his concerns are and talk about them.  Get them out there and deal with his feelings on them.  I think if you two are a team and both can get more on the same page to address what will be hard about having a child at this time, he'll be more able to them talk about what is positive about it.  

give that a try.  good luck

Thank you so much! I love him a lot and it just seems that every time I try to say something positive his mom calls and reminds him of all the negative things he can't do. It's just so hard competing with that and it's hard not to get worked up with all these hormones!!

Stay Positive with him, cheer each other up as well as build each other up if he's willing to work together with you that's wonderful!
If he is discouraged explain that you both are going to get through it together! Talk about he happy things that come along with pregnancy and having a baby.. talk about different names and search for things online to show him. Also show love and support and if he sees your happy and positive and not letting other people bring you down he will feel better and won't let them effect him too. Be a team and remind him you two are a team and everything is going to be alright. :)

Chins up ! Xo enjoy this time and good luck ma
