my husband is freaking out......

and he's got me a little freaked out too.  He gave me another 30 minute dissertation last night on how he is unsure how he is going to do this 'baby thing' and he thinks he can handle a toddler and up but not the other part......the first time he gave me this speech it was kind of funny and now it's starting to make me a little worried that maybe he won't get it and i'm gonna be going all the responsibility alone.......and i'm okay with that part of it but it is terrifying too.  He also refuses to take any classes or anything either.......can you guys think of anything else I can do to help make him feel more at ease?  TIA!

    I think its normal for some guys to be freaked out about having/caring for baby.  I mean, they have no prior experience and its a human life they are looking after.  I'm sure when your little man pops out your hubby will be so in love that he'll forget all about his current concerns.  I don't think any classes can teach that kind of love and devotion.

    that is what i'm praying for.  i didn't know if a class to each him how to feed or bath a baby would help or not......i'm just kind of at a loss I guess because I am so excited and I want him to be that way too.  Thanks for your reply.

    Are you guys doing a childbirth class?  They usually go over feeding and bathing basics then.  Otherwise, your nurse should go over that in the hospital.  I'm sure your DH is excited, but he's probably more nervous than anything else.  Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes smoothly!

    I agree make sure you guys take a class so he can start to get comfortable..  and see how the other soon to be dads behave too.  If he is iffy about going, i wouldnt approach it that it is for him, but for both of you to prepare - and everybody does it Stick out tongue

    My DH was kind of a jerk to me during my last pregnancy with DD and i was very concerned and wondering if we were even going to stay married.  There were a few times my hormonal self wanted to pack up and move back in with my parents even!  But everyone was right... once she got here .. he was a changed man.  I really did not see it happening or believe people when they said that - but in my case it was very true.  Now he is the best daddy (and husband) i could ever imagine.  I know it is hard to get through this now, hopefully he is the same and comes around too.
