partner troubles

I am now 19 weeks pregnant with our first baby and find out the sex of our baby on the 21st of january (super excited). I am just wondering if its only my man that shows no interest in the baby. If I try talk about the baby he either ignores me or changes the subject. Its really stressing me out. I am trying to sort out all the baby stuff and he just huffs about it and makes it sound like a bad thing. I fell pregnant whilst on the pill, so was a nice wee suprise. I spoke to him and explained all the options before we made a decision. Anyone else got this problem or has been through it that can give some advise. Thank you xx

Men get jealous thinking about the baby most of the time they won't show it. But they can't help it hun. They think about the Fact that it will no longer be about them. And sometimes they show it thru their actions. My bf actually left. So trust me I know the feeling

It may just be that it doesn't feel real to him yet. My bf was totally uninterested and got annoyed with me for bringing up the baby my first half, but once he saw it at my 20 week ultrasound he got on board. Now he talks to my belly every day and is always telling people how excited he is. It's just harder for guys to feel like it's real when they can't see the changes I think. Be patient, maybe your man will come around to the idea soon enough!

I'm 23 weeks and when I was around 7 weeks my baby father use to ask me not to take about the baby til he was more comfortable. I didn't...I still talked about the baby and he started loosing up and when we on the phone he'll say tell me baby I love her etc. Now he kisses my belly and ask about baby classes. He will loosing up.

My bf showed no excitement or interest for a long time! I popped at 7 months and then he started taking interest in the baby..now he watches the weekly videos and everything with me. It hurt alot in the beginning and i stopped trying then it must of hit him finally when i started to show

And i would try talking to him about the baby and he wouldnt respond...and he was always upset if i bought an outfit for her! Im just glad it changed cause i know how your feeling and it sucked! I became depressed and cryed everytime he left for work. I felt alone...i hope it gets better for u

You're in the relationship with him so ASK! You need to express what you posted on her and he'll let you know exactly how he's feeling. He isn't going to just tell you...wish guys were like that lol...just talk
