Man having meltdown

[richtea12]

Me and my partner have had some pretty big rows since I got pregnant mainly due to him feeling stressed about impending fatherhood and how it's going to change his life. I'm feeling really rubbish with nausea and exhausted all the time and pretty much house bound and he's still going out having fun to deal with the 'stress'! Had a huge row the other night and I really worry about the impact on the baby. The thing is I know he's going to love the baby when it's here and even he says the same, but I just wish he'd stop moaning about how it's going to ruin his life! Is anyone else's partner struggling to come to terms? Any tops tips for how to cope?!

hello,

just from a man's point of view, i've found reading mumsnet really helps! i'm not sure if you can convince him to do that?

it's just great to know that some many people are worried about so many different aspects of pregnancy, and that knowing you're not alone or being paranoid with all these crazy thoughts. also good to understand what DW is going through too.

Hey my partner hated it at first.... He really didnt want kids, and especially because we wasn't propa together but had been seeing each other a while! He said he would hate me if I kept it he was having panic attacks not sleeping an I felt awful. But I cudnt have an abortion n made him come to a 12 weeks scan. He seen the baby he watched the screen all the way thru, and nothing was said for a few days he then said he loved me and if he can't beat it he might aswell start enjoying it and he's been amazing xxx hope he comes round xx
