Anyone else?

Question

Does anyone else’s partner/husband not really pay attention to the baby moving or kicking? 
I tell my partner the baby is kicking and he looks at my belly for about a second and continues to sit on his phone.. 
makes me so upset 😔

Answer

My husband is an amazing father, but he is also not very interested with my baby bump of number 2. I guess he first has to meet to baby to feel to connection that mothers do. I love my baby movements and I enjoy that it is just the two of us. After birth I have to share him with other people but in my belly he is all mine 😂

Answer

Every time baby moves and I’m around my partner, I always tell him straight away but then baby stops and won’t move again few a few minutes, I know there’s nothing I can do about it but I feel bad cause he always tries to see or feel when he moves but hasn’t been able to yet

Answer

My baby always stops moving the second I tell my husband to look/feel!! But he did tell me it kinda freaks him out feeling him because it “feels nasty” lol.

Answer

my husband is disinterested too. he's an amazing, supportive, loving man. I just think it's hard since they can't really experience it the way we do. I'm 100% confident he will be an amazing father, it's just not his thing right now. every time I try to engage him, he's like"yup" and moves on lol

Answer

My partner has issues with this as well. I’ll get all excited because the baby is moving and try and get him to feel but by the time he finally does, baby is done 🙄 I had to talk to him about it and he told me that 1) it’s hard for him to mentally connect that it’s a baby in there. Because he doesn’t feel it all day every day it kind of makes him uncomfortable. He told me he still loves the baby and enjoys knowing he is moving it just makes him feel odd 2) he feels like he is hurting me or Baby when he presses down or feels the baby and it makes him nervous. So maybe your partner is having the same issues? Or something similar? Let him know it makes you sad!

Answer

My husband is the same. He is sooo excited for our son but just doesn’t get excited about the movement. I’m 33 weeks and I’ve made him feel it once and that was enough for him 🙄
