My boyfriend seems to be afraid to touch my pregnant belly..what should I do? And should I be THAT upset?
Answers:
no he is just getting use to it mabey he thinks he`ll hurt it or is afraid.
let him read about bein a daddy go to www.whattoexpect.com they have a special section 4 dads maybe this will help and its normal for u too be upset ur hormones are going crazy best of luck and congrats
Those huge bumps are scary as hell. There's a thing SQUIRMING in there!
Mu husband was never in it either. It is really not an indication on excitement or what kind of father he will be. Bottom line is, you can't make someone feel a certain way that makes you happy. Different people just experience things differently.
pregnant bellys are weird, to a guy newayz, so just wait till the baby is born b4 u start getting upset if he doesnt hold it or wat not
Does he have any doubt that it is his baby. He is your boyfriend, so since you two aren't married, he might think that it is not his baby.
maybe if he were your husband he wouldnt be.
Rent the movie 9 months-then he'll realize that it is so normal to be feaked out that hollywood even made a movie about it, he'll relax a little.
Nah don't be upset, he's most probably convince he'll hurt your baby (he now sees you and the baby as a priceless ming vase, touch it and you break it).
I am also pregant, my husband is always touching my belly, you can assure your boyfriend that it will not hurt baby, cause maybe that is what he is afraid of. or you could just ask him.
I have the same problem..I think that he's just uncomfortable with the idea of it. It used to really bug me but I don't want to push him because I know it is hard on him too. You should talk with him so he knows how you feel. He might be scared to hurt you or the baby. lol guys are good for irrational fears they just show them in a different way. Good luck to you
he is not at all ready for the changes to come i think he is just tryin' to cope before the baby gets here
yes of course you should if it is his baby. he should be proud of what the two of you have made and proud of you for carrying it!
Like the 1st person said, he's probably just needs time to adjust. I would encourage him to touch it, to talk to the baby.to show him that it's okay and that he won't be hurting your or something like that. I wouldn't get THAT upset about it either, if you are upset, it's probably the whacked hormones. It's a big adjustment for everyone, it probably just takes more time for some to adjust than others
Aww! That's kinda cute. Anyway, I think it is a natural reaction, because he doesn't know what to expect, he might think he'll hurt it, if he presses too hard.
And you shouldn't be upset about it. Just tell him that he should feel it, because it is his baby, and there is nothing to be afraid of, and that one little touch isn't going to hurt the baby.
That happened to me. My exboyfried now, told me he was afraid he would hurt me. Talk it out. Holding it in will only make things worse. Good luck.
It is all alien to him. Take his hands and you place them on your belly. You hold his hands there to show him it won't be like "Alien" and you're not John Hurt.
you should explain to him that he shouldnt be scared to touch your belly. and you shouldnt be that upset because he might damage the baby if he touched it to hard.
He's just freaked out, it's all new.
Have him rub your belly with body oil. It's good for you and good for your stretch marks and good for both of you. Use cocoa butter if you can.
That is normal. Think about all the stories you have herd about how had delivery was. When I was pregnant what I herd scared the you know what out of me. Yeah It hurt but it was worth it. Well guys talk to and he could be scared give him a break, and talk to him tell him how scared you are and tell him how you feel. That great but some times painfull feeling when the baby moves. You have to remember also one day soon he has to share you and that can be very stressful for him.
no tell him not to be afraid the baby is well protected and cant be hurt!
listen don't be upset because he most probably is just a little nerves just talk to him and find out why he is the way he is?
i dont know why he wouldnt, but most guys find it very strange so thats normal, he will come around
My Husband was exactly the same, but sitting with me know he says its just really unnerving to see you like that. Don't worry about it is my advise. My husband loves our little girl more than the world and says he felt really detatched untill she was born even though he always wanted her, i think men feel that its not really happening to them. When we are pregnant we feel things twice as hard and after your pregnancy you will feel totally better and understand how he feels. I felt that my husband was being selfish because even though i was scared of what was going on I didn't have a choice, but now i feel that i was the lucky one and he missed out by not feeling all the wonderful thing that i did!
well give him time to get used to u being pregnant my boyfriend used to be scared of carrying our baby when i had a baby he used think hes gonna drop her then he got used to it
Maybe it's because you got knocked up before he was ready to make a commitment. TRASH!
