Help with boyfriend

[Xtina85]

I'm 7 weeks pregnant and struggling with insomnia, pretty bad morning sickness and mood swings. But instead of my boyfriend being understanding and helpful he just gets frustrated and mad at me and nags me convinced there is something else wrong. Can someone please tell me how I can make him more understanding?

Thank you ladies sooooooo much you all helped a ton!

Also, if you haven't been checked out, he could be in denial still. Seems like with some boneheaded males it does not matter how many times you tell them you are pregnant, they just keep hoping it's something else and acting like it's all drama until they are forced to take it seriously. If you haven't yet, go see the doc and have it confirmed, that may actually help a lot.

Been there, got the T-shirt and just got set back from 3 months to 5 weeks thanks to ultrasound lol so we got that much further to go! And I'm one raging hormone queen. Mine's trying, I think, but he's just so darn clueless and pretty much tunes out all baby talk. Men!

Try to get books or go to articles online for him to read what happens week-to-week during pregnancy.  I was in your position last week.  I have been extremely emotional and I have mood swings.  My boyfriend wasn't understanding or supportive.  I tried to explain to him that I had no control over my hormones and I ask that he read with me to get a better understanding.  He refused to read with me...didn't even want me to read to him.  Needless to say, he left me and I'm now okay with that.  I know how important it is to be surrounded by positive, supportive people at this time.  I didn't need the extra stress from him accusing me of having something else going on and not just my pregnancy.  So, him leaving have given me peace and I found support and understanding by joining this site and talking to other women who are going through the same blessing (pregnancy).  I'm not saying that you should leave your boyfriend, but if he refuse to read and try to understand you...just know that you can always come to me and the other ladies for support.  Right now it seems like the ladies on this site are keeping me sane and cheerful.  Congrats and we are here for you girl!

Maybe he could go 2 ur Dr visit and they could explain all the symptoms and things u r physically and mentally going through. Maybe that would help him understand. I don't think guys really get the full concept what we go through when we r pregnant lol... good luck and congratulations

Oh this is a common problem im on my third pregnancy and as with the other two its always a struggle to remind them you cant controll it. Making a baby is the easy part, housing a baby for ten months is the hard part, full of hormones that tweek your emotions every ten seconds and the exhaustion that comes with it is not easy, why do you think women are the ones who have the kids. Men would be 100% times worse. It will pass, just try and remind him what your feeling and ask him the same. Boys alwats get so moody when they're scared or nervous, hope this helps

Just try to explain to him, you can't control it. And you're hormones will be all out of wack. Some guys don't understand because they don't go through it. Congratts and hope everything gets better :)
