I am 34 weeks along now, and I feel so
sad. I am anxious to see the baby and
tired of being pregnant/ uncomfortable. My
other 2 sons are getting excited about
seeing the new addition, but my husband
doesn't seem so interested. I tried
expressing my anxiety to him and his
response was, "Well you wanted to be
pregnant again." I feel so hurt. Lately he
doesn't want to talk to me about anything.
If I ask him questions about his day his
response is usually "I don't know." I feel
lonely, paranoid, and just sad. It makes
me not want to talk to him or try either.
But I just find myself feeling angrier and
more resentful. Am I just being
over-emotional b/cuz of hormones? Will
this get better after the baby is born, or
will this just get worse?

This post is a little old but I noticed
there were no replies. I hope you're
feeling better now. Hang in there!
I just had a tiny little meltdown on my
guy cuz he was too tired to make out with
me at bedtime (LOL). We talked it out
though and and I let him fall asleep so he
won't be too tired for work in the
morning. It's hard sometimes to see
things from a dad's POV when you're
bathing in pregnancy hormones and feeling
that little baby inside you 24-7. Men
just have a different perspective and a
different set of worries, especially
during pregnancy. There's another child
on the way that you will add
responibilities to both your lives. He
doesn't have that baby moving inside him
so the experience isn't as immediate for
him. He probably does care maybe he's
just tired or has other things on his
mind. Guys can be such a pain when you
don't know what they're thinking!!
Anyway, let him know in a calm way how
you're feeling. Let him know you are
feeling vulnerable and uncomfortable and
you need some kind words from him to help
you through. Sometimes those things just
don't occur naturally to a guy because
they are used to keeping their feelings to
themselves.
Good luck. Don't be sad you don't have
far to go. And your baby is healthy!!!!
And you are healthy!! Hope you feel
better.
