OMG....he is going to drive me BONKERS!

I love him but i have a feeling the shock is too much for him. He is acting crazy.
H is reading WAY to many things on the interwebz and stressing himself out. First, i really am shocked. I did not think he would be like this. I have been with this man for 10 years and he is pretty cool, calm and collected. His reaction to the news was surprising....... along.with his behavior now is even more puzzling. 
He wants me to gt to the Dr. ASAP. He said he read that there is some condition ( a cyst or something?) that can cause a pos result on a PG test when not really PG. He is also reading all the scary possibilities for a PG over 35. He doesn't want to hear about the little gummy bears growth (i told him its the size of a orange seed rt now) He is afraid of something happening and him being attached (if you ask me he already is........proof... all the crazy internet "research")
Last night he was at a friends house watching football. I was getting tired and was trying to decide if i wanted to wait up for him....unsure of when the game ended i texted him asking if i he had an idea of when he would be home. He responded the Broncos (his team) was still going but he could come home if I wanted him too. Told him no it was fine....i was just trying to decide if i was going to wait up or not and that don'tmind me....i might be asleep when he came home. I felt no need for him to come home......he was home within 15 minute.......lol.
I told him tonight. Don't stress. What will be will be. Told him "I'm not going to stress....im sure all will fine" and he said "Good you can't stress...I'll do it for us" He was dead serious.
Good God in Heaven please calm my husbands worries.

Awe he's nervous!! So cute, hopefully a Dr's appt with a clean bill of health will calm him down!

GL!!

Awww he's sweet and totally sounds like my H, although he's not spazzing out quite THAT much.  We are over 35 and this is a first pregnancy for both of us as well.  He's hesitant to get "attached"  but is looking forward to the first apt where I think it will be more real for him.  Hopefully your H will calm himself a little after your appt too!

Aww. Sweet!! But tell him to step away from google. ASAP lol

mindaa

Very sweet.  

My DH immediately became a little over protective, too... seems to be his way of taking ownership and getting involved as best he can.

My h is total opposite! I mean he was devastated by the losses but he doesn't worry. Just because you are over 35 doesn't mean anything will happen:) my dr said his colleagues and him don't even bat an eye at women in their 40's now. He said that with us living longer it just makes since women will be able to procreate at an older age! Lol....he also said problems are rising in 20 something's do to street drugs available and the extreme rise of chlamydia. He is seeing more infertility and miscarriages. Maybe tell him to look that up:) at it will put him at ease , things can happen any age...

KirstenAlecia

I tried telling him that things happen at all ages. I told him all will be fine most likely. 

Lol.....step away from google.......bahahahaha!!! 

Seriously i do hope he chills out a little after the first appt. Im ok with a little spoiling but i need him to keep being him....lol. And normally my husband is the kind of person who has the attitude of "you can't control what you can't control........so don't worry about things you can't control" LOL

I think it's adorable.  I can say that though because it's not me that has to listen to his worries.    BUt I do wish my husband was more like that. This is our third.  So we've been around the block a few times but he's not been super supportive this time in regards to morning sickness etc.

Lol, I always feel like there needs to be one nervous nelly.  It keeps a nice balance. ;-)

KirstenAlecia

Well at least he isn't trying to limit my activity or anything ridiculous like that. 

I told him i would like to not gain any weight. Im overweight as it is. I think i scared him by telling him i was worried any more increase in my weight I was fearful of high blood pressure......thats how my body responds to excess weight  

So today we went walking. 5 miles in an hour ( fast paced walking is a normal activity for me in the last couple months)

So glad he didn't think walking would be a bad idea......he was all for it. 

He brought home flowers today too. I think he is super excited about it now

OP, the walking is a good idea! My dh has been a bit of a worrywart this time, not to the extent of your dh, but we have older kids so he knows the drill.

 The first tri was hard for him (we've had losses), he chilled a bit in second but now as I am due, he's sorta freaking out again lol.

 Perhaps you could talk about the ladies here who have had healthy pregnancies-there are many here it seems who have had babies past 35 (mine were born in my 20's and early 30's, I'm 43 this time). We don't know anyone hardly IRL who is my age but I tell him stories I hear of here and other places. Plus my midwife has reassured him that all is going well and she expects a very good outcome.

 He defenitely needs to step away from Dr Google though! it scares ME and this is my 6th-I know better!

My poor hubby is an OB nurse who works with high risk pregnancies all the time, he gets very quietly worried if I mention symptoms.... he just knows too much. But he tries not to freak out, as I said- quietly worried. We are both feeling better now that we can both feel babies moving around :-)

KirstenAlecia

@2ndGeneration I'm sorry to hear of your losses. Im glad to hear my hubby is semi normal. Wow.....6th! I couldn't even imagine trying to go through this with littles! You are superwoman!

@BigBoned - awww, that must unnerve your poor hubby seeing all those women with high risk.....i know that just the reading mine is doing is sort of freaking him out. 

Like i said....im glad he is concerned, cause that means it matters to him Although, today i think he had a rough day and got snippy with me and IMMEDIATELY apologized. I love him but i need to tell him I'm not fragile.

This should be one heck of an experience for us...thats for sure!
