We are having a baby..... however?

She is saying she wasn't ready to have a baby we had a lot to get done first. She is mad at me and I don't know what to do. Anything I say is almost wrong in her eyes, and I feel like I am walking on egg shells... Talking to her about it makes it X10 worse! Last night I tried talking and she broke down crying saying she wasn't happy and to leave her alone. But she was happy the day before...anyway I kept talking cus I was uspet making it even worse. Wanted to talk to someone about it. I guess all I can do is just be quiet and give her space right now which is so hard cus all I want to do now is give her a big hug and tell her its okay... but ... I know better.... Any advice!?

  • Pregnancy is a confusing, emotional, hormonal time for BOTH people involved (not just the mom). I feel the same way sometimes. I just get overwhelmed with all the things we need to do before the baby. We bought a new house not too long ago, moved in, and started work. All the things we planned to do when we bought the house and before we had a baby just kinda got pushed back. Now, we need to paint, get a storage building, fix the backyard fence, get the home security system, build shelves in the closets...etc. etc. etc. AND we have 6 months to do it in (while both working). It's all a little overwhelming.

    When she brings up all the stuff you needed to have done first, grab a pen and notebook, and make a list. Get a calendar, and schedule projects as your schedule allows. If she is a visual person, she will appreciate the timeline, and knowing that you want to be involved and are willing to help her. After that load is off her shoulders, it may be a little easier to not be so stressed out and unhappy.

    Remember too that if she is sick or tired (as most pregnant women are--especially in the 1st trimester), she will have a short fuse and will pretty much be an emotional trainwreck.

    Don't worry, things will get easier down the line.

    Good luck!

    You should just give her space if she needs it. Guys really dont understand how emotional women can be during pregnancy, hormones are all over the place!

    Its very common for her to be happy one minute and depressed and needing her space the next.

    We all go through it but just support her as much as you can and just try to realise how hard it is for her, shes bringing a new baby into the world so imagine how scared and worried she is!

    Good luck :)
