I'm pregnant with my first child and my boyfriend's there ,but scared any advice

Constant communication with your boyfriend my dear. It is only but natural for him to feel scared especialy if this is his first time.

my wife is pregnant with our first child,about 15 weeks. eat what you want and hava enough sleeping,have a good mood. Eat an apple a day keep doctor away. Don't worry be happy. hope you can understand my Chinese style English

You are almost half way in your pregnancy. In my home country pregnant ladies get a 20 week scan and it can be lovely if the father attends it. It can make the man take notice that he is going to become a parent soon. It is useful for first time pregnant ladies to go to preparing for the birth classes and caring for a baby courses too. You might like to get a toy doll for him to learn how to change a diaper. Your boyfriend may well wait until your baby is born before he shows lots of interest. Good luck.

Pregnant people - oops sorry women, I mean always keep getting advices from all the corners of the world. I think, then the best of the ways out is to refer to someone who has got some experience of delivery. It can be anyone - your mother, your elder sister, your cousin etc, need not be any of your relative. Or it can be any of your friends. This is just an example. You can ask them for advice. Or the best of the ways is to, refer to some professional. This will be your best bet. He may charge some bucks from your, but you are guranteed to get a professional help.

it sounds like you're really young. no offense but this trait that you hate that belongs to the father of your kid is quite evident already in the courting stage. maybe you've just grown mature overnight... there are a lot of things to explain why you're feeling like this towards the man you said you want to have a kid with someday and really did the act that could cause you to have one. people have different strokes. different styles. that extends to the way one puts one's self together down to the way we confront changes or learn new things.

It is better to have a dumb husband who deeply cares than having someone who does not care. with regards to your boyfriend, since this is new to him, first time to have a child... give him something and stop caring for him but instead devote your time to the baby thats in your tummy

hello Robyn28, wow! congratulations. don't worry too much about your boyfriend's behavior. maybe he was still shock about the good news but no sooner he will be interested in learning doing those stuff and resposibilties. more so when you are about to deliver or upon seeing your baby. everything will gonna be okey. having a baby of your own is truly a blessing from the Creator. just do what you think is best for you and your baby. he might be doing that as well secretly. good luck to you and take care.

Well congratulations to you on your pregnancy.I wish you best of health and enjoy your pregnancy to the fullest. I think you both need to talk about this issue in detail.Communication is the clear cut key to all your apprehensions and misunderstandings.Did you plan your pregnancy with your boyfriend? He might be in a state of emotional shock,but i know he will come out of it as he sees the child's face.

I think it involves an emotional process. Don't worry about your boyfriend if he's not ready yet for now because we don't know it when you give birth or the baby will born, he will be amaze and takes his responsibility as a father. Just let him for now and try to talk to him for sometimes.

Maybe he wants to know all of these parenting things but is too overwhelmed by your pregnancy. But if he's too distant to even bother asking you what you might need during your labor and delivery then you must talk to him about everything that the both of you have gotten into.

well congrats on the new baby!Its so much fun when they get here!But back to you.I had the same thoughts and feelings as you when i was pregnant with my first.I had never seen my boyfriend hold a a baby let alone change a diaper. I was so scared things were going to be to difficult for him and he would give up.But like they said your instincts kick in. I think for the first couple of days he was mad because i wouldn't let him make the bottle,change the diaper,or change the clothes. But I gave him the chance and he proved to me he could do it. He a great dad and knows how to do it all.I'm sure he will catch on maybe give him a few days to sit back and watch you.I hope it all goes well and the best of luck to you and your new family

wow you must take care for your baby when he/she born you must suggest your boy friend to care your baby together, both of you must make your baby happy, and give the big attention and love to your baby=)

Congratulations on your pregnancy. I think you are overly anxious on things and overthinking everything. Don't get me wrong, this is perfectly understandable because of the mental and emotional stress you are going through. But I think you need to keep on mind a few things. Unlike women, men may take some time before things would eventually sink in. Ease up a bit, you are worrying on simple things. Give your boyfriend time to adjust to the idea and take steps to make your pregnancy an enjoyable experience for you both. After all, the ability to change diapers is not the measurement of him being a good father or not. And not because he seems oblivious means he does not care or think about everything. Pressuring him and being to hard on him would only cause stress to you both. Take it easy and take every day as it comes. No one can really prepare for parenthood no matter what your age is or maturity level. But once you come face to face with your bundle of joy, I'm sure you both will find courage to do the best thing for your baby. Best of luck! =)

sometimes it is more fast to learn when you are hands on already. sometimes what we learn on parental courses is different once the baby is there already. like what go girl said instink kicks in. dont worry about that, for now just enjoy the creation that is slowly getting big inside your tummy. worry makes you stressed out and it is not good for a pregnant woman. relax and enjoy. just like you said there is no turning back then face it with a smile. goodluck

I could be totally mistaken, but I bet that the first time that he sees the baby he will be a whole different man. That's the way it was with my husband when I was pregnant with our daughter. I really didn't know what kind of father to expect him to be, but the moment that he had our daughter in his arms he was smitten and since that moment I can't imagine him being a better father than he is today. I think you could take part in all the preparations in the world, but until you have your child in your arms and it is really real, you don't know quite what you're getting into.

I think something happens when you the minute you become a parent... your instincts kick in. You could have taken every parenting class out there, but you will never know as much about raising a kid until you actually have one. I wouldn't worry too much about your boyfriend's parenting skills. I think the minute he sees his child for the first time, he will do everything he can to love and protect him or her. I hope you have an easy pregnancy and birth.
