Hello ladies,
I'm (just) pregnant with my first child. I'll be 5 weeks tomorrow. This was a planned baby and DH and I are happily married and financially secure. We conceived on our second cycle - so MUCH faster than anticipated - and to be honest, both of us were a bit shell-shocked when we found out last weekend. Happy but disbelieving. We are older (I'm 31, DH is 43), and have a lot of friends who've had trouble conceiving, and so had assumed it would take much longer.
Anyway, aside from asking which room a baby would sleep in, DH has not really said anything about how he feels. I have told him practical stuff - like when my booking in appointment is and what the Dr told me, but he has never asked any questions. I know it's only 5 days in and he is busy at work...but I was just wondering....when did your other halves show any interst in the pregnancy?
My DH is a kind, sweet, smart man...but at the moment, I feel like it's only me that's in this. Has he forgotten?! When well he get interested? Will he ever want to look at the pregnancy book?
