Are all men like this during pregnancy?

Im 27 and two weeks ago I found out that Im 8 weeks pregnant. I told my husband (hes 32) the day that I found out and he wouldnt speak to me or touch me for a few days. Now is somewhat ok and at least he is talking to me again but Im just not sure what his problem is. I ask him and he says he is fine and nothing is wrong.

I asked him if he wanted to come with me to the ultrasound and he says he has to go work (where we live he can take time off and still get paid to go to scans) I just dont know what to do. Did anyone else have this problem? Do they get over it at some point?

And before anyone starts anything about how this pregnancy should have been planned ect. I was on the pill, sure they are only 99% effective but I thought I was covered since its been ok for 4 years.

    I was on the pill aswell, and I am 37 weeks. So, planned pregnancy isnt always in the cards. I got pregnant just before my husband started college full time and he works full time on top of that, so I understand what you are saying. Maybe your husband is just nervous, but deep down really exicited!! Maybe, just step back and give him some breathing room. It is very nerve racking. My husband was a lil weird at first too. But now he is so excited its unreal! So just step back and give him so space! It might be hard at first (it was for me) But now we havent been happier!! Good Luck!! I hope everything works out!!

    Source(s): 37 weeks, got pregnant on the pill, with a sometimes difficult husband.
  • i think he is having a big freak out, its strange but it sems to be a bigger thing for the men to accept than the women, i think the 2 of you need to sit down together and make some plans and talk about how your lives are going to chnage, its a bit of a shame he isnt being supportive though because you need to be supported as well but perhapsb he doesnt know how to take in this news, make sure he goes along to the scans, maybe once he sees the baby he will feel differently, dont wait for him to just get over it though because he might not and you need to nip this behaviour in the bud before the baby comes along. i remember when i got my positive preg test my hubby just went weird for a day or so he was real silent and he later said to me he knew it was going to happen coz we were trying but he was still overwhelmed.

    My son's father was the same way, when he found out I was pregnant and was very "mad" at ME, when I started crying he asked what I was crying about..later that night he came back and was very emotional and wanted to apologize and was there the whole pregnancy, he is probably scared. Just find someone that does want to be there for right now and he should come around.

    He's probably just not sure what to do and is scared that he may hurt you or the baby. Maybe you can find him a book about it to ease his anxiety, or links to articles. My husband did not go to the scans either, but I didn't mind. I do believe yours will get over it once he gets used to it. Mine is now a fantastic father to our 7 year old and our 2 year old. HE takes care of them while I go to work.

    Yep, she had intercourse with me sometimes. you have held lower back intercourse out of your husband for 28 weeks considering the fact which you hit upon it uncomfortable? what's going to ensue once you're waiting to pop and your well-being practitioner says "flow domicile and function lots of intercourse.". Are you going to withhold intercourse then too? supply up being so egocentric and function intercourse with your HUSBAND sometimes!

    hmm.. you really need to sit your hubby down and talk about this. i mean a baby is a big step and i am sure this is a shock to him. if you can't get him to talk, go to counsling.. good luck!!

  • Your husband didn't know how it happened. No one who has sex just for passion or pleasure does. The reason? Sex is *only* for reproduction!

    He needs your company more & let him help to realise the situation. Wishing you all the best.
