What do I say or do?

Question

I'm pregnant, 21 weeks, my husband says he not excited, when I ask him, but that he's not disappointed either. He doesn't care about anything baby related really... I just feel so alone and like this baby is unwanted (on his part). This was a planned pregnancy and he kept up with my ovulation days, so I'm just not sure what the problem is. 
Has anyone else's SO felt this way but later changed when the baby got here, what did you do?

Answer

My brother was like this. I don't understand it, but I think maybe it wasn't really real to him until the baby was born. My SIL kind of just had to wait it out. It's hard though for sure. But if it helps, both his kids, especially his daughter, have him wrapped around his finger now. And they're about to have their third too.

Answer

Sometimes guys are weird about it until the baby is actually there. Just try to keep him involved with ultrasounds and such, but usually they change once the baby arrives.

Answer

My husband was that way with our son. I was so confused because he wanted to start a family a year before I was even ready. Our son was planned. I think he only wanted to feel our son kick once and it was because I forced him. When I would ask him if he was excited he would just say something along the lines of how he doesn't get excited for things or he will be once our son was born. I felt so alone during my pregnancy and I felt like he never got it. My husband's blah attitude did change once our son was born. We are about to start actively TTC baby number 2 and I'm hoping he'll be more into it this go around.
