Misunderstanding Baby Daddy

Is it just me or do most dads show no interest and concern while you go through your pregnancy? I mean I've been trying to make sure he's involved in appointments and some times I look for him to want to comfort me when I'm in pain. I look for him to be inspirational when I'm feeling down. Some times I feel like to him I'm just being whiny but I normally don't complain unless something is wrong or I'm looking for attention. I'm 35wks + 6 and I don't get sleep, I've started to get Braxton Hicks contractions and anxious about the following weeks to come. I just wish he was more understanding of my situation. I just want to know if it's common for other couples...
