My husband is very loving in his own way----he is not one of those sensitive feely kind of guys. We are 7 weeks pregnant. But every night, I wake up about 1am to go to the bathroom and he has his hand on my tummy. I dont even know if he is aware his does it. He gives my belly a kiss every morning and every night. It is so great to see this side of him.
Anyone else enjoy seeing this side of their husband/boyfriend?

Its strange - to the guy that said he can feel his wife's symptoms -- my hhusband is adament about me not rolling over him to get out of bed. In Dominican culture, they say the mommy can pass her symptoms to the daddy if she does this. Silly but we play around with it all the time.

No, I'm unfortunately not, but I wanted to say congratulations. What a wonderful feeling that must be to have that! Hold on like hell to it!

From a blokes point of view -
I was told when I was a child that I couldnt have children, this was confirmed in my 20's, my wife had stomach pains last year and was told that it was unlikely that she would be able to get pregnant.
Miracles of miracles, my wife is now 5 months pregnant, I'm doing my best but having a child, as much as I have always wanted one, was never a serious propostion for me.
I am seriously struggling getting my head around it, I thought after the 3 month scan and seeing the baby would make it click, it didnt, I hoped hearing the heartbeat (last week) would make it click, it didnt, I am now hoping that the next scan when we find out the sex will finally click with me and I will become more enthusiastic.
My wife is trying to understand and as much as I try to be excited, I am still in a state of disbelief.
I really hope that I finally 'get it' and can enjoy this experience with my wife who I love dearly.

My boyfriend was wonderful during my pregnancy. He would put his head on my belly and talk to the baby, telling him that he was his daddy and that he loved him very much. He also read to him every night, it was soooo cute. Now our baby is 10 days old and is obviously daddy's little angel. My boyfriend just can't get enough of him. Also, our baby boy will sleep for 4-5 hours straight, but only if he's lying right next to his daddy and holding on to his shirt. It's a very touching sight. So if your husband acts that way now, then he is definitely going to be a wonderful father. Congratulations to you and your hubby!

As a father of an 11 week old, I can tell you it is very interesting viewing your wife pregnant.
There are many phases I went through.
1. Detached: She feels the moving and the kicks and we can only wonder in amazement.
2. Supportive: We just want to ease the process
3. Amazed: When the baby comes out, we have out first interaction with the kid.
4. Unconditional love: A baby has a great "new baby" smell, they make sweet little noises and their skin is so soft and you sense they are defenseless, even though they are not so fragile that they may break. In any case, I just fell into unconditional love even thoug I really don't "know" him!

Aww, that is so sweeeeeeeet!
Since I've been pregnant it seems my husband has gotten a little "mushier" about things being "cute" when we're looking at baby stuff and when he happens to see infants out and about. I only wish he'd spend more time around the belly- kissing it and being closer to it but he has told me feels uncomfortable talking to her and kind of feels detached. He's the kind of person that needs to see it to believe it. Once she's out he'll be all over her like bees on honey but for now he rubs it every now and again with an occassional kiss but rarely says much to her. He seems to be emotional about it, but kind of keeps it inside, but I know somethings going on even when he doesn't :-) Pregnancy really does do something to men, too

That is so beautiful to hear. I am not pregnant yet starting to try next month. I have been on my husband for years for babies. Money being his biggest issue. But he will tell me about his dreams where we win the lotto and the first thing we do is have babies. And I start to see his sensitive side come out. Congratulations!

my husband acted like it wasent happining he wouldent talk about it mention it a change the subject if anyone said anything about it. He would never touch my stomach and would get out of bed if i curled up next to him in bed because if my son kicked he could feel it and said it was gross and felt like an alien. When i went to the hospital he sleeped the hole time untill i was ready to push he was good wile that happened but then sleeped the hole time after that untill we left the hospital BUT he is the best father you could ever imagine and most people get a loving one wile prego but after baby is here they suck!!!

My very manly hubby turns to absolute mush over our baby girl, and we are expecting another! It's so awesome to see that side of him - I always knew he would be a great dad but I wasn't expecting to see this "softer" side of him.
You sound like you have a great hubby too! Enjoy it - it seems like you always hear awful stories about men that aren't involved in the pregnancy and child-rearing. It's great to hear something positive for once!
I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy and a healthy happy baby! :)

As a father of three and a loving husband, pregnancy does change men, it does however depend on how emotionaly bonded the male is to you, if you and your husband share a strong emotional bond, studys show that he also could experience your pregnacy pains, known as sympathy pains. I experience this during our first pregnancy, its a weird thing for a man to experience and its a wonderfull thing to experience. and its his way of saying how much he welcomes this new bundle of joy into your lives. God bless you and i will pray that you will have a healthy child.

Enjoy it while it lasts, and hopefully in you case it does last. Everyone I know who has had a baby said their husband/boyfriend acted like this at the beginning and then it changes later on. Then wait till the babies born they usually change again. Good luck to you and you're family.

No, my husband is in a different country at the moment and i dont think he cares at all. He kissed my tummy ONCE during my first 3 months, and now when i call him or he calls me he never asks me if i'm ok or feeling well and i hate him.
