My husband isn’t any different since I got pregnant. Is this normal?

Question

He’s not more caring or anything. He still picks fights which I try to tell him stress is bad for the baby. He isn’t more caring. He doesn’t care if I’ve eaten. He doesn’t help me or support me when I’m upset. Is anyone else going through this? Will he be different when the baby arrives?

Answer

I wouldn't want to get pregnant with a man who was like that to begin with... I'm not going to expect him to become a better person because I'm pregnant... sometimes men change when the babies are born but don't count on that either.

Answer

Mines “the same” but he wasn’t a jerk before haha. I don’t think it’s real for them until we’re huge or the baby is here. 
I spend tons of time researching car seats, reading parenting books, and speculating if the baby is a boy or a girl, etc.. He just tells me to buy whatever I want, do whatever I want, and not to waste energy thinking about something that doesn’t matter yet. It’s annoying. The only thing in which he’s really adamant is making sure that I take vitamins and use my belly lotion. Our baby was planned.

Answer

I️ guess my husband isn’t more or less caring. I️ can tell he is excited for the next nine weeks to pass but he’s been very nervous about becoming a dad. Plus, he doesn’t feel our daughter kicking around all the time or anything, so I️ think it just hasn’t really hit him yet. Maybe that’s the same for your SO?

My husband and I had that issue when I was around 5 months still. He would purposely piss me off and pick fights and I finally told him flat out: “if you’re going to keep doing this we’re going to separate. I’m not going to let you hurt my son.” And he straightened up and we haven’t fought since.

Answer

I thought I had the same problem my fiancé never talked about the baby when we found out we were pregnant and stuff. We didn't fight anymore or anything but we had a talk about it and he was just nervous and scared and excited about the whole thing and didn't know how to act. Maybe try talking to him about it!
