The emotions....or lack of...

So, me and my husband were ttc for a year, and we are finally pregnant (8weeks today). Just had an ultrasound, and we have a healthy little munchkin so far. But he doesn't seem excited or anything about it, & only shows emotion via text message....Anybody else have this problem or is it just me? :/

I think it's hard for some men to feel connected to a pregnancy. To them, everything appears to be the same. They know something is different, but they might be more visual people who need something more apparent. That second ultrasound and/or when your tummy grows might be the "ah hah!"' moment :)

My hubby wasn't excited until the second ultrasound. The baby was moving all over the place and something just clicked. He still doesn't show that he's excited to me but I've overheard him talking about the baby with genuine excitement to his friends. Made me so happy :)

Give him time. My hubby didn't get more involved until he could start feeling baby move...

It doesn't become too real for many men until we start showing more, they can feel them move and they see an ultrasound looking more like a baby :)

My fiancé was ecstatic when i took the test... and then seemed to not be interested. Until we had a 16 week appointment and he saw an actual baby and found out what we were having. They go through pregnancy much different they r panicking on the inside.
