Is there a such thing as........
Hey everyone! I am really annoyed by the lack of support my husband is giving me.... I am wondering if there is a such thing as an incubator that will mature him in the next 4 months??? I am so irritated by his childish issues. This is my 2nd child but it will be our first together... Please help... any words to the wise???

Dh seemed pretty ready from the get go, but I could tell at the birthing classes, some of the guys weren't taking it seriously at first. I think through the class they started to understand that it was a serious time.
There are also books for dads that are lighthearted but informational. I know one was called What to Expect When Your Wife is Expanding. You probably know all the information already, but your husband might not.
Does he have any friends with kids? Maybe counseling is a good idea if you're that worried about it. This is a big deal and you need him to be there with you. GL!
Has he felt the baby kick? I have also read a lot about when moms and dads bond with a baby. Moms bond as soon as they find out they are pregnant. Most dads don't really "get" the whole baby thing until they get something in return, like a first smile. I know my DH said that the newborn stage was pretty boring but around 5 weeks he started becoming more interesting once he could interact more with us through coo's and stuff.
As long as he is still on board with helping you and the baby, it could just be a matter of waiting. I don't think you are too worried though. That would be scary for any soon to be mom. GL!
