Husband said he's not that excited yet?

Question

We were out shopping at baby's r us, just for some essentials. I am 17w pregnant with our first child. I am so excited about this baby, and while we were shopping I asked him why he isn't excited and he says "because we still have so long to go. I'll get excited when it's closer to the due date". 
I just felt upset. It's our first baby. We were trying actively for 1 year to make this happen. Why wouldn't he be excited?

Anyone else SO like this?

Answer

Men are like that!

Answer

That's normal. Men don't feel the bond until they hold their baby in their arms for the first time...they don't carry the baby so they don't feel what we feel emotionally ❤️

Answer

My boyfriend didn't get excited about our child until he finally felt her kick and seen her on an ultrasound. Now I swear he's more excited than I am. Lol.

Answer

We tired for over a year and when we finally got pregnant he was extremely excited now as the wks go by he doesnt seem that excited

Answer

He can't feel anything like you can and a lot of hubbies don't bond intimately with baby until baby is actually here. It's completely normal! It'll hit him when he holds that baby and he'll be wrapped around his/her finger!! Don't worry mama♡

Answer

Yes! With my first I remember feeling the same with my husband. I think since we have such a physical connection to the baby it is easier for us as women to feel a bond before the baby is born. Once my baby was born he had an instant connection because he now had a physical relationship that he didn't experience before. I am pregnant with my second now and it is sinking in much quicker!

Answer

Not me my wife and I have been trying for years now! Only for them to end in miscarriages. Right now she's pregnant it was twins but Monday found out one didn't make it, but the other one is doing great! We can't wait!!! So not all husbands are like that!

Answer

My husbands the same way. I don't think they mean any harm; they just don't have that connection yet like we do with the baby.

Answer

My husband was glad we were pregnant but not excited in the same way I was. Men aren't lucky enough to feel the bond that we have with our unborn child. I'd ask if he wanted to feel her kick and he'd tell me know because it was weird. Well now she's got him wrapped around her finger!!

Answer

He won't till he sees the baby, at least mine didn't :) it's different for them I suppose...
