Pregnancy is making me feel more attached to partner!

[Namechangegardens]

Hi all,

Currently 16 weeks pregnant. Am interested if anyone else has felt like this.

I feel so attached to my partner, we have always adored each other but my feelings are stronger than ever. I have never been this kind of person but have actually cried a few times on the bus listening to love songs and thinking about him. I also find myself worrying and crying thinking about when we are older and our health deteriorating etc. And this is really sad but sometimes when I wake up before him in the morning I cry thinking about how one day in the very distant future I may wake up alone...

Has pregnancy turned anyone else into a total sop?!

Oh god yes, I'm due next week and have definitely been feeling this the last few months!

@howmanyroads makes me feel more normal, thanks! All the best for your last week or so of pregnancy! x

Yes, happened to me both times (I’m due in July). Getting married had the same effect.

Not when pregnant but seeing my DH with our newborn DD made me feel almost euphoric with my love for him. I'd been in love with him when we got married but it was nothing compared to the weeks post partum. My DD is now 2 and I still love him and he's a great dad but it's not the same star gazy adoration from those early weeks. I'm 6 months pregnant with our second so I'm waiting to see if it happens again. Hormones are a funny old thing

On our 6th baby. I like him but I don't feel soppy anymore, tbh I'd rather him be at arms length this pregnancy.

This happened to me too and I still feel pretty much the same now the baby is here!

In the throes of pregnancy hormones I cried and asked him to be careful not to die when he nipped to the shop because I would really miss him...

Can't say I've felt this but it's very sweet!

Yes! I'll be 32 weeks tomorrow and have been like this aswell!

My DP normally works away doing what can be quite a dangerous job but due to the coronavirus situation he has been home since November (when I was about 14 weeks) but is due to leave again next week for the first time since then and the thought of him being gone for a couple of weeks keeps getting me all emotional and I keep having those scenarios going through my mind of something happening at work and him dying (normally, while something I of course worry about, the chances are quite unlikely so I can cope - but since being pregnant I'm so clingy to him and worry about it so much!)

I'm feeling this atm now I've had the baby and seeing dp with her. I was the same with out 1st. He said he didn't think it was possible to love me anymore than he already did but does. Seeing me go through it all again. I had a harder time this time round. He's said us men don't realise how amazing you women actually are. Bless him 😂

God yes, defo! I’m 26 weeks with our first. One of my concerns about getting pregnant was that I didn’t think I had the capacity to love someone more than DH. I didn’t think I had it in me.

Now I’m pregnant I love him even more, so much it unsettles me a little. I’ve also been crying over songs and have found myself staring at him while he sleeps. I keep thinking about what a good father he’ll be and can’t stop gushing over him. Today I came home to see him hoovering with headphones on and I burst into tears over how cute he looked.

Ridiculous 😂 He’s rather bemused by it all!
