to be disapointed at my husband and parents lack of interest in baby's kicks?

[OnEdge]

This is my third pregnancy, and I am now 25 weeks, so the baby is doing some great kicks. I have invited my husband to come and feel her kicks and he can't be arsed to get up Likewise, when I am round at my mums I will balance the remote control on my bump and ask her to watch it move when the baby kicks. She pulls a slightly pained overly patient face and watches and then does a false "Oh!" When it moves and looks straight back at the TV.

Am I being a spoilt brat or am I right to feel disapointment at my family's lack of interest in my babe?

OneEdge its called pregnancy no 3.. just wait until you get to no 4 mymother didnt even congratulate me

LMAO @ pregzilla!

I'm on No.3 now (20 weeks) and have found that the interest in my pregnancy has waned with each one! In fact some family members sometimes have to be reminded that I am pregnant despite the very obvious visual reminder What makes up for it though is DD (4) is fascinated by it, so we tend to coo together

Mr Obeedge - whilst we and mrs onedge are allowed to use the term pregzilla in these overwrought times you must certainly are not

I think it's qite common really - I was as enthusiastic with each of my 3 pregnancies but it just wasn't as exciting to everyone else.
And as for the bump touching - I would hate that

Each pregnancy is equally special so YANBU to expect your family to feel that way too, esp your DH. I think I was very lucky - when I had my 4th, my other 3 dc were old enough to be really excited and I enjoyed sharing it with them.

Sorry you are a Pregzilla, I would feel the same as your dh and parents tbh. My friend was pregnant and told me to put my hand on here tummy, it sort of gave a little kick it was like oh ok then. for your lost baby though, I cant blame you to be excited.

Tell DH your lesbian life partner likes to talk to your bump. That should inspire him to suddenly start singing to his child, like Ross from friends.

"My DH has been largely disinterested both times - puts hand on tummy for precisely 3 milliseconds then says "he/she always stops kicking when I go near" then doesn't try again for another 3 weeks..."

Mine too He's right though, the baby does stop as soon as he comes near me.
