When I first met my OH I told him on our first date that I wanted children and wanted them soon so if he wasn’t ready for anymore (he has two girls from a previous relationship) then its best he walks away but he didn’t and said he wants at least another 4 (which is good as I want a big family)….however….when I found out I was pregnant his words were "im not happy but im not upset" then the next day he said he just wouldn’t have planned it right now (as we had just moved in with each other) but since then I havent gone on about being pregnant and slowly he has come out of his shell about it and we are hoping for a boy…..he has rubbed my belly a few times and the other day…..told me to unbutton my jeans (they were a bit tight) because im strangling HIS baby!!!! Cheek!!!!

We have the scan on Friday and im hoping it will feel more real for the both of us!

As for men being a bit insensitive….all my OH says to me is "your not ill"!! Trying to explain that although Im not ill, I FEEL ill does not get me anywhere!!

i have to agree with you all on this one. DH thinks all symptoms are a figment of womens imagination and doesn't seem to understand anything about pregnancy no matter how much i try to educate him! Managed to get SIL to knock some sense into him instead of stressing me out all the time and he's getting a bit better. Something he said to me the other day did help me to understand. He thinks he's in denial not least because there's no bump yet, i've not put any weight on and my symptoms are quite mild. Come to think of it, i forget half the time! I guess when there's a bump and when he sees the scan maybe things might sink in?! i hope!!!

My oh is doing ok at the minute ! He hasnt said anything to make be turn into a Although i did cry like a baby when he said i was beautiful !!!

My OH is the same, constantly trying to wind me up! (I get him back for that though! ) And his fav saying 'Its not an illness you know!'
i'm sure there is a book with these sayings in!!!

Aww that is so lovely!!

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster rider with my OH, this pregnancy wasn't planned and at first he wanted me to have an abortion but I think he has almost come round to the idea now. It's still quite stressful though as I can't be as excited as I want to be around him because it annoys him. I'm sure once we go to my scans he'll be a lot better.

It seems like i'm getting off really lightly too!! My OH is actually being very good. He smokes but he's taken to sticking his head up the chimney or out the window if he wants a cigerette With the nausea i haven't really been wanting to eat any meals and i've just been living off carbs such as bread, crumpets and plain hula hoops. He told me last night that i've really got to start eating properly coz me and the baby need all the nutrients we can get (Ahhh bless him). I have been a bit grumpy and tired too and he just tends to steer clear of me and then i feel bad and give him a big hug.

Sorry to make you jealous ladies but mine seems to be perfect at the minute!! I'm sure that'll change once i'm moaning at him to go out at midnight and find me some cake!!

For the ladies who's OH's are being a bit insensitive, i know its hard but just ignore them. And if you're feeling ill and they want their tea or the house tidied, they'll just have to do it themselves!!! If they dont like it, they know where the door is!!

Thats exatly the same as mine he is soooo bad with a hangover you'd think he was writing his will on his death bed ha ha ha!! Otherwise TBH he is fairly good but i did nearly smack him ha ha

When I was with my OH after we found out I was pregnant, he kept pointing out how 'chubby' i was getting and how 'fat' i looked. Good god I could've strangled the mite! I argued with him over nothing for months, and I've since broken up with him, but men can just have their heads in space sometimes. I pity the fools

I have to say OH has been great throughout my pregnancy so far. He knows not to push or say anything wrong as he's been there through the pregnancies of our first two. I think he's grown up a lot since then too.

I've also been pretty good as my hormones have been great this time around.
