Me and my boyfriend have a almost 1 1/2 year old son. I'm currently 34 weeks and 3 days pregnant with a little girl. I'm too excited!<3 but my boyfriend doesn't seem to be the least bit interested. He has yet to come to one of my appointments, including the gender ultrasound and every time I bring up naming her, he chances the subject. It's very hurtful at the least bit.

Tell him it hurts that he doesn't seem to care about the baby and you want to feel like he's in it with you and that he's excited for the new addition. Hopefully that turns his attitude around! But communication is what will help the most

My husband is the same way. Doesn't seem as interested or as understanding this time around. We have a 2 year old son and 30 weeks pregnant with another boy. I am having a lot harder time with this pregnancy, varicose veins, swelling, and a return of morning sickness... But every once in a while he will rub my stomach and say he is trying wake up the baby. Men don't get as excited as women until they can see baby is what I keep telling myself.

I know how you feel my husband was so excited because it's our first baby, and he really wanted a boy and when we found out we were having a girl, he really didn't show as much interest as he did as first... But now that the baby is almost due he's becoming a little bit more interested... I tell him to help choose names and he says yes but it seems like he doesn't care...  But it's better to tell your boyfriend that it hurts you a bit especially  since we're really sensitive during this time...
