Was your SO interested in your pregnancy?

Question

My husband and I are having a baby in February.  He bought all the dad books because it is his first (my second) but has yet to crack the cover of any of them. He doesn't ever want to feel the baby kick, nor does he ask about her.  I really feel like I'm doing this on my own.
Did anyone else feel like this?

Answer

Most men I know do not show interest in babies until they are fun to play with.

Answer

Does he go to appointments? I don't think it hits guys until they see and hear the baby or until baby is born

Answer

Men tend to not be interested till the baby is born... Right now it's more like an idea vs an actual thing.

Answer

With my first, not really. She was unplanned and it took him a long time to get used to the idea. With my second, yes. He came to every appt, massaged my back daily, rubbed and kissed my bump, asked a million questions and was just as involved as I was (well almost). He didn't read any books but didn't need to because I did and anything he wanted to know he just asked me.

Answer

My husband is the same. He shows no interest in baby things like the pram and Moses basket etc I try and talk to him about our baby but he just nods. He was the exact same with our eldest. Trust me though once he sees baby born and holds him/her for the first time he will be so over come with emotion and happiness. Men can't feel it experience what we can as women while pregnant so they can't really bond Untill baby is here. My hubby does prefer babies after 6 months old though he says they are boring Untill then haha

Answer

My husband, No. He wanted to touch & feel his son move. Does he go to any of your doctor app.? Maybe if he heard & seen the baby it would be different. Are u being too much with your pregnancy? Talk to him, with out bring up the baby, just how he's feeling about everything. He might be hearing things that's making him unsure. There's a reason for everything.
