Before even getting pregnant my boyfriend would occasionally talk about having kids, and what names we would choose. When i told him I was he giggled, but now it seems as though he is taking a step back, and that he isnt as excited as i am.. It kinda makes me sad to think that he isnt excited? What do men think about pregnancy in general> No rude comments PLEASE!!!! thanks...

maybe he's just getting scared of becoming a dad. give him time he will come to his senses. some men take it in different ways. dont stress about it. Good luck.

I think he can't cope with the reality that you're really pregnant. My husband was like that at first, before I got pregnant we would talk about names and stuffs and when I finally broke the news... he was silent for a couple of days and when he finally came to his senses, he accepted the real fact and reality...
Just give your BF some time, I know it might had been a shock to him to have u pregnant now. But I know he will come to his senses and accept it but it would also help if you talk to him and share with him what happened to your prenatal appointments, make him part of your pregnancy. He is SCARED AND SHOCKED..
On your part, take care of yourself especially your baby...
remember, the first few months of the pregnancy is the most fragile and important place of your baby's health..
Take care c",)

He's just scared, not guy is EVER ready to be a dad. He'll be excited again soon, especially when he holds that little bundle of joy for the first time...He needs to experience something to be excited, inform him of what's going on and what you're feeling. Make him a part of it. How old are you??

fatherhood is great but from now on there is going to be 3 of u, he feels a sense of responsibility to provide for you and the baby so its probly a weight on his shoulders
its always nice to know that u have created a 'new' life which would be wonderful but the reality of our times is now settling in and he may be thinking about the future, there may also have been other things that he wanted to do just with u
but he cant do that now, so it may be a bit like the loss of a relationship or teh gaining of a new one, u just have to reassure him that u will be there for him and remember to include him when the baby is born ;oP
i think i can get the correct answer to this one ;op LOL

its different for guys than girls. I mean they dont carry the baby inside them, growing for 9 months therefore they are not as connected. Its not really a reality for him because he cant see it or feel it. Once the baby gets here he will be just as excited as you are about being a new parent. Allow him to go through his emotions right now, he'll come around
Good Luck with the new one

The fact is that he's not ready to be a father, which means that he wasn't ready for sex, either. And neither were you.
Were you planning to be married eventually? Maybe that's something you can talk about now so the baby will have a stable, loving home. If not, then adoption would be the right thing to do.

He is probably excited but I think he is more scared right now. Wait until he hears the heartbeat and starts to see your belly grow and then he will be excited.

Reality has begun to set in for him...SURE...talking about it is always fun...most guys think it would be cool to have a son/daughter to love...BUT when it comes down to it...they don't have reality until you're actually pregnant...he'll come around..it's new to him and to you as well...don't let the hormones control your actions...Don't get mad at him...cause he's just a man...like children themselves!

Maybe he's not absolutely sure the baby is his. You where questioning your date of conception for several days, so maybe he knows somethings up, and there is a good possibility the baby is not his. Maybe he read some of your questions and feels betrayed...just an educated male guess.
