All the first time dads

I wish he knew how hard it is being pregnant. It's like he's excited but not growing because he isn't experiencing anything. We're not together because he's just not getting it. I have no choice but to be healthy and strong and grown and he just wants to wait to do that till baby gets here. We disagree too much and because of this were not together. But I know when the baby gets here he'll be an amazing father. Just wish he understood. I wish he could walk in my shoes.

I wish my bf knew too, I've never felt so down before. I cry more than i smile and its only the beginning of my pregnancy. All of a sudden he wants to smoke weed n drink for every little reason when he dont care i dont get a break from this pregnancy, everything i do is going to affect the baby and all he cares about is himself and wants to be a jerk to me for his own entertainment. Explaining things to him don't help, i think he will have to have the baby in his arms before he steps up. Im

I know the feeling. My boyfriend and I didn't break up but I had to explain to him that when the baby gets here we aren't going to have a lot of time to do things. My boyfriend wanted to wait til the end to set up the crib and put the car seat in and I had to explain that our baby could come any time he wants in the past month and if he decides its time to come we won't have time before going to the hospital to put the car seat in and set up the crib. I did have to learn though to be more patient and that everything doesn't need to be done when I want it done
