2nd Trimester

SO says feeling the baby move "freaks him out"

it actually hurt my feelings...

Aiden just started moving enough last week that my daughter was able to feel him...she really enjoyed it and we had a really nice moment. SO wasn't home at the time...but Fri night it happened again while he was lying next to me so I asked him to put his hand on my bump - AND HE SAID NO - it freaks him out!

I almost started crying...

  • That can hurt.  Just try to remember that you are bonding with your LO in a way that our SO's can't yet.

  • Don't be sad, he is just a boy. DH says seeing the ultrasound and feeling the baby (which hasn't happened for him yet) weird him out just because it makes this all so real. You have to remember that even if they are excited and supportive they aren't carrying it. They aren't building the bond you are and the whole process isn't exactly "natural" for them. Hell its weird to me too haha.

    Last night DH was in the shower with me and carefully grabbed my boobs and did this weird little series of squeezes. I started laughing. He was trying to see if milk was there. He said that freaks him out and once it happens they aren't his but babies. He hasn't touched em in weeks. It hurt my feelings at first that he thought that was gross but I'm over it now and hope to milk him when I get the chance.

    NEwaz, remeber not to take things personally. Is he excited about being a dad? Does he take care of you and love you? Then don't worry about the little stuff.

  • I think it is hard for them. Once DH felt Handsome move he has looked at me differently. I think it's hard for him to relate to what is going on. I still blabber on and keep him informed..And he is always the first one to tell people how much of a kicker Handsome is, but when he sees my belly move..You can tell he's like in awe of it. Like there is really something in there awe..
