my husband had been busy when I was pregnant especially that time, he just had his promotion, but every time he goes home, he talks to my tummy and tries to hold him or hug the baby in my tummy. same as your position, he came with me just once for check, but what is important is you know that whatever he is achieving is for you and the baby. So don't get depress my dear, the baby can feel that also. just be happy and stay positive. Besides, the baby needs a strong and independent mother at all times, and you can be one, if you'll start now. god bless

Hi Smile,
First let me congratulate you for being a pregnant...welcome to the world of moms. Second, i understand what you're going through as it relates to your pregnancy. You want your husband to spend some more time with you. That's very ideal but according to you he's busy with his work. Now maybe you can start discussing this with him and work on your check up schedules so that you will be able to ask your husband to go with you during his off days. Be proud of him for having work in preparation for your coming baby.
This worked for me. My husband is always by my side during my period of pregnancy especially during my check ups. We had it during his off day (Saturdays) and he loved going with me and being updated with the development of our baby. during weekends we go together to find things for our baby. Trust me...this happened to me 13 years ago. A great bonding time for husband-wif.

You're welcome. I love welcoming newcomers to mylot and let them feel they belong even if they're only beginners. So good luck. I hope you will have a great time here. So did you talk it out with your husband-- ironing schedule to so that he can accompany you especially with your medical check ups. Take care always. I hope there will be a positive result from your dialogue with hubby.

Welcome to mylot and yes, I can understand your longing for your husband. every wife or partner would wish for her husband or partner to accompany her to the hospital during these critical months. But you must remember that your husband is working so hard coz you need more money during this time, so he’s arranging as much as he can…don’t worry too much, and whenever you need any friends, we are here at mylot to hear and help you out.

Many pregnant women share you situation around the world.
When the husband is very busy with the job...sometimes he
overlooked some things like accompany you to clinics for check ups.
But you have to tell him that you need him beside you maybe he will listen.

Hi smile
I first want to say welcome to mylot. I think you will enjoy the site very much. I would like to give you some tips. Always make a comment to your discussions. The more you write the more you will earn. Get you some friends and they will be notified when you start up a discussion, which in return will help with your earnings.
Now as far as for your husband. Talk with him about how you are feeling. I know that he has to work and may not always be able to go with you. See if you two can make the appointments on the same day that he is off work. Also let him know that it is very important to you for him to be there for certain things. Im sure he will be there on the delivery date. I wish the best of luck and let me know how things turn out for you.
Have a nice day and keep smiling.

Congratulations on being pregnant You have to tell your husband how you feel. He doesn't need to miss a whole lot of work to make you feel better through this life changing experience. Of course it is important for him to be making money to support his family and new baby too. If this is your first child he might be scared of being being a new parent and same with you. You can tell him that too. Best of luck.

Hello, Smile.
I was in the same case as you. My hushand seldom accompany me to hospital for checking, or go shopping. At that time, I admire other woman very much just like you. Anyway, we got to understand that he is making money for supporting the family...
Now my son is about 14 months old. Everything goes on great...
Cheer up, smile. Everything will goes on great with you as well.
Take good care!

Your husband are busy for his work to earn money to support your families and your future baby, so it can be understanding for him. I knew you need him to accompany you, especially need your husband to acocompany you to test, you can talk with him and asked him whether he can save his time to accompany you, tell him that your feeling.
