Husband is more worried than excited!

So, my pregnancy was a shocker! We actually planned on starting this month and happened to find out I'm pregnant last weds. I have been taking prenatals since the beginning of October since we were going to try in November.

 Well my poor hubby admitted last night that he is worried sick about me and the baby. We figure I'm about 5/6 weeks. My Mother and his Mother have both had numerous miscarriages and my mom came close to death with the birth of my older brother from tearing and bleeding so badly. Not having health insurance doesn't ease his worry either, since it can take a while for medicaid to decide, and not knowing if we can afford OOP expenses. Is it normal for him to be so worried? He said he just has a bad feeling...last thing I need to hear!!!

It's normal. My DH was so tight lipped b/c we had a previous m/c but he's now so excited.  He's always paranoid, he said it's because he feels like it is something he has no control over and he's helpless. Let him voice his concerns but do research with him to help calm his nerves.

BFP 6/9/2011, due Valentine's day 2012! M/C @ 6 weeks. Miss you sweet tart.

Of course it's normal! It'll be fine, he's worried because his life is going to change in a big huge way just like yours, but for them they just ahve to wait and see, while we go through sll these changes. If his worrying is stressing you out and you can't handle it, tell him that you understand he is worried, that you two are in this together, but you need to keep things positive.

Please forgive my typos! I'm not as dumb as my iphone would like you to believe :)

Completely normal. Last time around didn't end well for us, but mh had told everyone he knew about the pregnancy. This time, he is keeping mum on it. He isn't getting attached because he is so worried something will happen. He will get over it, and will your hubby.

My husband is feeling the same! I am super excited and he is playing debbie downer.  I think it's because friends of ours had a m/c last month.  i think doing some research with him will help calm him as well.  that's good advice.  i will try that tonight.

My husband has expressed those feelings as well and this will be our 2nd child.  He was like this the 1st time around too.  Just keep your cool and continue to reassure him that you are doing all you can to keep yourself and baby healthy.  The rest is in God's hands.

It won't go away either. I am still worried all the time. :) 

 

It will just balance out between worry and excitement overtime. And then transition into more excitement as you get further and further along.
