how to help my husband calm down?

Question

He's a worrier, and has been worrying non stop my entire pregnancy, but it's reached it's peak since my 20 week ultrasound is approaching. He's straight up panicking about something being wrong. Have any of you experienced this with your SO? I can't relate to him feeling this way because I'm the exact opposite, I just go with the flow and rarely worry about anything. We compliment each other for that reason lol

Answer

Ok my original response was to punch him in the face 🤣 then I deleted it and here I am trying to edit but dear lord last thing I want is my husband to overwhelm me with his worries and make me worry too. For reals, being all hormonal and crazy I would want to punch him to make him stop 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂

Answer

By nature I am a "worrier" too, so I feel his struggle!

With our first, my husband was super weird leading up to and during our anatomy scan. He didn't even react when they said the gender. Then at the end he said "but is everything okay with her?" and when the tech said yes, it was like his whole mood changed. Then he was super excited! I didn't realize before hand how nervous he was for anything to be wrong, especially because he is NOT the type to worry or stress about the unknown.

I think for the non-pregnant partner they can feel very out of control yet highly responsible. Nothing about having a baby is easy or stress free.

Weve had losses so hubby worries but he keeps it to himself mostly

Answer

You just described my husband! And this is baby #2 for us! I'm only 10 weeks and if I even touch my stomach he starts questioning! With baby #1 he was not like this!

Answer

Hopefully when you go to your upcoming ultrasound and see that everything is looking perfect and amazing, he will calm down 😘.  That's cute that he's worried. But hopefully he calms down a little before he gives himself an ulcer. Haha.
