Has this happened to you? How did you handle it? It’s so hard to get excited when your partner is feeling so dreadful about the pregnancy. I dont know how to help ease his worries. Every time he talks about how unexcited he is, it makes me sad. In a way I feel responsible, even though we both knew I was ovulating and chose to have sex any way. But it’s so difficult to not feel guilty like “I’m” causing his pain.

If y’all have gone through this, how long did it last? Was there anything you/he did to make the worry go away so he could be excited?

We had our first ultrasound today and got to hear the heartbeat and it bummed him out more. 😩

This is our first kid. We weren’t trying but we weren’t preventing.
