feeling sad

Anyone else's husband/boyfriends not show any interest at all in the pregnancy? I'm 34.1 weeks and I feel like my friends are more excited then my husband is. He doesn't talk to her, I have to put his hands on my tummy to feel her move and when I tell him to look at her moving I feel like he could careless. I just wish he would show more excitement. She was planned. Not an accident.

I'm glad I have this app that's for sure! Venting on here is better then on Facebook. He'll be getting an ear full from me tonight. Not sure what good it will do but we'll see.

Well, don't keep it in.. Learned that the hard way. Stress brought me to the hospital. Also, having anxiety doesn't help. Tell your butt of a husband to hop to it! Haha.. Your baby girl needs her daddy!

Thanks ladies. Makes me feel better that I'm not alone. I've told him plenty of times that I would like him to be more involved and to touch my belly and everything else but it goes in one ear and out the other. Just an emotional night I guess! Being exhausted doesn't help! Lol

Chantel, momma... You are not alone. I have to tell my husband to talk to his little boy, and he says a few words.. And then lays on top of him. And ooooooo boy, does my son kick him. Like... "Daddyyyyy talk some more!" You're okay, you'll have to one day pry your baby away from him.. :) she's gunna be a daddy's girl. ;) muah!! I'm here with you! All the wayy

Mine wont unless i make him. It will be ok. My hubby is a wonderful dad to our son and i know he will be just as wonderful when our daughter arrives. Men dont get to experiance what we do so it is harder for some to grasp, it will be fine :) chin up

I hope so. I guess I'm just emotional and hormonal. I just see all these posts where the Hubby's touch the belly and everything else and wish I had that.

Moms are moms once they get pregnant, men become dads once the baby is here. Its hard for them to get attached or even understand enough to bond. I bet it will change once baby is here
