I have found daddies to be more materialistic with the babies. They want to buy things, but they don't really want alot to do with the "dirty work", like going to the doc. With you. I would suggest just sitting down and asking him what parts he wants to take part in. If he gets offended, just explain that worrying about it will harm the baby more, so it is best to be open and talk about it. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

Lol-a lot of guys are like that. I'm almost 26 and my hubby is the same way. I keep having to tell him "do you realize I am due in 3 weeks?" i'm freaking out while he's all happy that the new dave chapelle is out on dvd.

It's hard when the baby's dad is young which i'm guessing he is in your situation, hopefully things will change once you have the baby.

I think because we are so close to our baby while it is growing, we realize a lot more. While we feel every little thing, to them we have a big moving belly.Lol. Ususally once the baby's out things get better as they have something to actually see and feel themselves.

Good luck and don;t worry, i'm sure all will be fine.

I agree with lil_blaze, sometimes it's hard for the dad (especially with his first child) to actually grasp the fact that you are pregnant.

My son's father and I had our baby young as well. Him and I broke up shortly after my son was born (we were too young at the time to be committed) but we got back together a few years later...

He told me that he was very scared when I was pregnant. More so when the child was born. A lot of men won't want to admit that, since society tells them that it's wrong to be afraid.

Don't take it personally. Remember you're super emotional right now as well. And when the baby arrives, he'll come around. You'll see!
