my boyfriend dont spends time with my belly !

I'm 5months me and my boyfriend planned this baby he didn't want one but afther frew days of talking he said ok lol
Well I always gotta take his hand and put it on my stomach . Ask him rub my belly  I say talk to him he can hear its like a war with him but he spends 5 hours or more on the Xbox and on his phone playing games . I feel like he haves no interest .
And when my gyn said my son had something wrong with him I had to see a specialist he wasn't even worried smh
Will all this past when the baby comes
Anyone else going threw this ?
Any advice will help cause I feel like he don't want our son.

I hope he gets interested in your BABY.  The bump will be okay if he doesn't get all into it but when the baby is here, THAT is when it is necessary for him to be involved.  good luck

(again, my husband never chitty chatted with my bump or spent time doting on it . ..    but he's an awesome dad and there for everything involving his kids and me.)

My husband and I PLANNED our children and my husband was thrilled I was expecting.  He didn't sit and talk to my belling or put his hand on it (it weirded him out) or 'spend time with it".  Not all men are into that.  And it doesn't mean they won't be into their child when they are born.  

Women tend to make being pregnant the center of their universe and many men aren't like that.  They bond when the baby is born.

You probably worry about this more since you may have some fear he isn't into your being pregnant or being a father.  Time will tell how he'll act when the baby is here an hopefully he'll fall in love and be a great dad.  good luck

Don't even worry he will either stay the same or he will be like my bf.

My bf and I planned this baby it was his idea. We've been together 4 years and he is a dad to my 6 year old. He never talked, touched or loved on my belly unless I made him. My son is 2 1/2 months old and I can't keep my bf off of him its so cute he adores our son and its just the cutest thing. So don't worry too much yet.

My guy ***** on ice also. He kisses my belly and says "bring me my baby" but he doesnt harp over my belly like i envisioned. A couple nights ago our parenting class gave me the hmwk of having him read to my belly w. A childs book. At first he wasnt even down for it but after a couple pleases and moapy eyes he did it n loved it!! :) maybe u should try. I lived off of that high for days. But i wouldnt sweat it. When i was 3 mnths he could care less that i was preg. I had to beg for him to rub my belly. N my situation is pretty similiar getting preg was everything to me, he def wantd a baby but it didnt concern him like it did me. Hes a bit more affectionate to the belly at 5 months.

With our first baby my husband would never leave my belly alone but he has always wanted kids so bad so he was so excited when he found out I was pregnant. With my second pregnancy he didnt ever talk to the baby like with my first or want to feel her move or anything. He changed once she was born and always wanted to hold her and cuddle with her. With this pregnancy he feels the baby kick sometimes at night when we lay down fo. Bed and will hold my belly or try to play with him by poking him back when he kicks. I think it just takes men a little longer and if he wasnt ready for a baby to begin with he may just be getting used to the idea. Once the baby is here im sure hell completely flip and be much more affectionate and adore his baby but it might just be wierd to him because the baby isnt out yet so its harder to picture maybe.

There's a saying women become mothers at conception men become fathers at birth. My fiancé didn't really start paying my belly more attention till I looked super preggo. But if you had to convince him to have a baby he may not have really been ready. If he's young his toys (Xbox) will still be high on the priority list. I know the feeling my fiancé is obsessed with call of duty. So annoying. But men will be men I guess. Try talking to him. Communication is key after all ;)

Girl my husband is the SAME way. It's okay though it's not as real to them as it is to you and I. My husband won't touch my belly really he's excited but just doesn't get it. Don't stress. And don't expect too much it'll only cause drama. Trust me when he gets here it'll be like the world fell out from under them when they hold the baby for the first time (: My husband thinks he's talking to my tummy he doesn't get it that he's actually talking to our baby but the baby will still know daddy's voice (:
