Truth is no man will ever know what its like to b pregnant or how bad you need your significant other while being pregnant. Mabey you just need to sit him down and talk to him about how you feel. Tell him how bad you need him and his support and that you would appreciate it alot if he could make more time for you.

I know exactly how it feels to go through a pregnancy by yourself.  My Hubby has been in jail since I was about 5 months. I am now in my eight month and he will be released soon but I have had to go through all the uncomfortable and stressful parts of this pregnancy alone.  At least your guy is away trying to provide for you and your baby and not just trying to avoid being with you. Honestly you should be happy you have any time with him at all. Considering there are plenty of women out there who's baby daddys went involved at all or physically can't be there.  It will all work out hun. Best wishes.

I'm in the same boat & what's  frustrating is, HE WANTED THIS BABY! We tried for 6 months before getting pregnant & is not there like I he would be. He would always say I'll do this & that when you get around 30weeks. But I'm now 39weeks & still feel alone. He did great for about 2weeks (32-34weeks) but that came to an end. Last week found out I was at risk for pre-eclampsia after going to an appointment & he asked what I had been doing-I said thoroughly cleaning the house (moving furniture, climbing on the chair to put diaper boxes on top shelf, ect.) to prepare for baby. He asked what my bf had been doing (he missed his 1st appt & I went alone) & I told him, HIS BUTT WAS THE 1 RESTING! So he ordered me on bed rest at home while doing the 24hr urine catch & my bf was still tripping about what I wasn't doing at home.smh Yesterday I spent the whole day away from him but spoke with him around 11-noon & mentioned how I may be going into l&d because contractions were non-stop, did he ever think to call & check on me for the rest of the day? NO! It was about 4-5pm when my aunt asked if he called & I said no so she called him wondering why he didn't.

Sorry for the 4pg letter, guess I didn't realize how upset I really am.

I can't say I'm going through the same but what I do no from my own dad being the same when my mum was pregnant (we are close) is that they work so they can provide for you and your littlen he will be stressing just like yourself about becoming parents and maybe he is working so hard to not stress sit and talk to him but give him time and don't worry :)
