Will He Come Around?

I'm sure that he will! Maybe you could try doing something special so the two of you can have quiet time and talk about the things you are both worried about. They just might be the same things. My husband is just as scared as me about the babies health but he is worried about the name and the sex where I am worried about working and money. "What to expect when your expecting" has really helped us and you can go to there web site whattoexpect.com. Its hard to argue when you see how your baby is developing this week.

Yes....if you had a strong relationship..so 5 years I would say yes.....

Honey I was married and we had been together 8 years and he didn't talk to me for 4 days. Unless he is just some anti child person he will come around.

Well first off, congratulations!

I think it will take him some time. When I first found out I was pregnant, the first thing my boyfriend said was "what are you gonna do about it?" I think it just takes them time to process it. You guys have been together a long time and you will be able to work through this. I promise you the first time he holds that little baby girl or little baby boy you will never be able to tear them apart. Good luck and give him time... Having a baby is a life-changing event for the both of you.

My husband was not at all excited when I told him I was pregnant with our first child. That first trimester was hard with my pregnancy hormones (you'll be extra sensitive to everything)and his lack of excitement. He got a little better as time went on. We have 3 kids now and he is the best father in the world. Men don't usually get as excited about anything as women do. Don't be too hard on him yet and I bet he'll come around.

I was almost in the same position, only my boyfriend and I had only been dating for about 2 years. We had already gotten engaged and then split; then got back together (so we were on a roller coaster anyway), then we got the news that I was pregnant and he acted much like your boyfriend. After I went into pre-term labor at 28 weeks, he seemed to do a 180. He later told me that it scared the s**t out of him and made him realize how important it was, and that it was coming whether he liked it or not. After that, he went to all of the dr. appointments with me, took care of me; just became VERY active in the pregnancy. Have you tried asking how this pregnancy makes him feel. Too, think~ he probably has a lot of things running through his head. I mean it's a BIG deal having a baby and can be a lot to soak in if it wasn't planned. Since you just found out a week ago, I wouldn't fret to much. Like I said earlier, try to ask him how he feels, what his concerns are, and make sure to relate to him (like if says how scared he is, don't say how excited you are, etc). I would give him some space right now concerning the pregnancy. Maybe you two should do something fun that you both like and can forget about it (pregnancy), it may even open-up the dreaded conversation without any tension being present. Hope that helps ya, but main thing to realize is that you just found out. If you two have been together this long, you obivously have a bond. I think he will come around.
