My Husband Is More Moody than I Am

I have to agree with Jessica. Men sometimes have so much more on their minds when they know another baby is on the way. Their stress levels go up thinking about whether or not they will be able to provide for another child. I'd take him aside and talk to him. Let him know that his fears are ok and that you will listen to him if he wants to open up to you. Then just give him some space. Guys aren't like us mushy ones where we want to be cuddled with everything.

Good luck and congrats!

He's feeling your pregnancy. When I got pregnant, my husband threw up in the early stages, and went through the same thing I was going through (nausea, etc.)

I agree with what Heidi said... I am going threw the same thing... Good luck!

Ceclia -

Have you talked to your husband about his feelings about the pregnancy? Is he maybe having mixed feelings about it that are affecting his mood? It happens sometimes that guys are excited about the baby, and that's great, but worried about whether there's enough money, or are afraid that they're not ready to take on another one, or not looking forward to all of the change that pregnancy and a newborn bring with them. Your youngest is only 15 months. To your husbnad, it may feel like everything is just starting to settle down a little from last time, and here you guys go again. It doesn't mean he doesn't want the baby, or that he won't love him or her, it's just that the back and forth of excitement and worry can leave him unbalanced.

Try talking to him about that, instead of "why are you so moody?" and you maybe can get to the bottom of what is going on.

Good luck!

Hi. Men do get "symptoms" of our pgegnancies. When I was pregnant with my youngest my husband would have my morning sickness. I was sicker than a dog with my first two (from my previous marriage) and didn't have any (except a couple of days of nausea) with my last. I've had friends tell me their husband's/boyfriend's had cravings for them too. How to deal with moody behavior? Well, think of it this way, how do the men in our lives deal with US when we get that way? Patience.

Instead of talking to us, complete strangers, talk to your husband.
I know it is easier to talk to strangers because they do not judge you but you need to talk and feel for each other.
