No pregnancy sympathy

[shaha2bois]

Is it just me or can anyone understand where I'm coming from. Ok, my husband is a great supportive man and father. Every doctor appointment that I've had (I'm 24 w with 2nd child) he's got off early or have tried to work around it. But... He seem to neglect or forget my emotional side and needs.  Usually I'm not an overly emotional woman but during pregnancy I'm super sensitive. He tells me he forgets that I'm pregnant but I just don't feel the love sometimes. I might cry b cuz I want hot chocolate or a napkin and he thinks that he's done something wrong and we get into arguments...anyway
What can do to help me feel better about my situation.

Why do you get into arguments? It's just crazy hormones, does he not understand that pregnant women are prone to burst into tears over nothing?
Tell him you need some cuddles when he asks what's wrong maybe? Lol he gets his manly fixed-the-problem boost and you get free cuddles.

I agree with the other ladies. My fiancé sounds similar to your husband. He didn't listen to me explain things at all. But then I had him read a bit of my pregnancy book which had a story told through a mans perspective and also his mom and my mom talked about how their pregnancies were and what they went through and needed and I think he realized I'm not crazy. He started being there for me a little more. Not as much as I'd like but better than before!

That's good. Thanl you I'm going to look for some good books that we can read

I agree, he should just be more educated on what we are going through. Since my huaband is being so considarate and loving with my hormons, i try to give him back somehow... Surprises, cuddeling etc etc... But they (our partners) do need to understand what we are going through and that we cant control always our loving hormons! :)

Has he read any pregnancy books? My husband is weird, I can tell him something till I'm blue in the face but he understands better if he reads it in a book.  He read So You're Going to Be a Dad & now he's reading the Bradley Method: Husband Coached Childbirth.  They've both helped him be more understanding.
