stress

I'm about to be 24 and I'm pregnant with my second child. The father of my first child passed away from cancer. I've been with the father of my 2nd child for 3 years. He's about to be 26. This is his first child. We have always talked about getting pregnant and he always seemed excited but when I told him I was he was the complete opposite. He doesn't show interest in my pregnancy or the baby. He shows more interest in dating new girls and his new car he just purchased. We barely speak. I cry alot and stress myself out because the father of my first child was by my side 100%. Should I continue to push him to want to be a great dad and support system or should I back off and let him come to his senses on his own? I have 3 more months left of pregnancy.

I don't think you should stress yourself over something you cannot control. You should tell him you need to talk in a quite place & express how you feel,if nothing changes then focus your energy & thoughts on the baby. I know it's hard because you had the support from the first dad ;however, every man is different some will not go into daddy mode until the baby is born especially being his first. Don't stress yourself it's going to affect the baby.
