Advice Please

Is it normal to have mixed feelings about the baby. My fiancé doesn't show any emotion and hasn't come to any of my baby appts including my emergency ultrasound. I'm not sure if he's scared or if I'm just being dramatic. There's times where I've thought about adoption because I don't think he will come around. He didn't help me with the registry or theme nothing any suggestions or advice! If your gonna be mean and call me a
Bad mother go ahead I've heard it quite a lot since I got pregnant

Men r defiantly weird when it comes to pregnancy and their partners.
Ask him how he is feeling tell him how u r feeling. Do not fight or yell be calm and just express. Let him know that it would be nice if he came with u to an appointment. See what he has to say listen and don't judge bc men handle things differently then women.
If he is not open or he gets mad let him be and see if he will come around later if not u have your answer.
If he doesn't change hen the baby comes then u will have to make a decision that only u can make. If u feel u can't do it on your own then adoption I'd not a bad thing.
I was fifteen and pregnant by myself shortly after she was born and I kept her. I finished school and college and raised her the best I could. I did it all on my own and it was hard and sometimes I felt like I can't do this but I would get up the next day and just kept moving forward. She made me happy and I had her she was my life and I would choose to do it again.
Everyone is different, I hope he is just scared or stressed or just hasn't realized how it has made u feel. He is your fiancé so get used to discussing things. Hope it works out and u have a healthy happy life together

Don't give up your baby! A lot of guys act like that throughout the pregnancy. I can almost guarantee he'll feel completely different after your little one is here.

Maybe he will come around but if he doesn't you should do what you have to do as a mother. Single mothers do it everyday. Im going through the same or worst situation but i keep in mind that i care more for my baby and myself than any man

Guys show emotion differently. With that said, some don't make a connection until they meet the little one. My boyfriend when I was pregnant with my first didn't acknowledge the pregnancy until I started showing which was at 7 months or so.  And I went to a majority of the appointments on my own. He's good with our baby now. And I feel like he coddled him more in the beginning and I didn't have much time with him (our son). But if your fiancé doesn't show even the slightest of interest and hasn't gone with you to at least the first appointment let alone the emergency ultrasound, you need to talk to him n see how he feels. Let him know how it makes u feel
