Moody DH

[Olinguita]

Anyone else's DH or DP been really moody during pregnancy? Am 8 months pregnant with our first and DH is emotional, irritable, over-sensitive and goes to pieces when he sees me in any kind of discomfort.
Have tried talking to him about what is getting him down and have encouraged him to open up about any worries he has but can't get much out of him. It is a very mutually wanted baby and he says he is excited to become a father... Do some blokes who are otherwise great dads just not handle pregnancy very well?

I've heard that the non-birthing partner also goes through physical and neurological changes; maybe these are just hitting him hard and he's struggling to process or express it? It's a very emotional time and a big change for both of you. I understand it can be frustrating when you're going through so much yourself, but just keep supporting each other as best you can ❤️
