Have any women’s partners who ‘disconnected’ themselves during your pregnancy end up being good fathers?

Q: So, I am 4 months pregnant and my pregnancy was a little unexpected gift. I was told I may not have kids and was taking birth control….go figure!Anyways, I have been reading about the mental state of some men while their partner is pregnant. It seems that nearly all men go through these 3 stages to some extent, and even more so to men who’s partners pregnancy was unplanned (Now, forgive me, there’s actually some fancy psycology terms, but I have long lost the article, here are the lay mens terms….)1.) Denial-(This starts when the pregnancy is found out and goes to about the 12th week of pregnancy)The men are in denial of the pregnancy. Even though their partner is living differently, they do not start to show signs of coming into fatherhood.2.) Separation/Disconnecting-(This is said to go from around the 12th week to the 25th week of pregnancy)They come to terms that their partner is in fact having a baby, and they accept this, but it is hard. They get scared that they are losing their freedom. They find it hard to deal with the emotional/hormonal/bodily changes if their partner. They are confused and scared and ask themselves ‘will I be a good father?” ‘How will my life change?’ ‘Will I have any freedom again to do the things I love?’ Some men even have affairs while their partner is pregnant, stay at work late to avoid their partner, go out alot, drink more than usual, sleep more than usual. 3.) Coming into fatherhood-Once they see the sonogram of the baby later in the pregnancy they start to think ‘wow I am a dad!’ The denial and separtion fades and they start to come to terms with the responsibilities of being a Dad.I talked to my own Dad about this, and he said he did the same thing my partner is doing now-going out WAY more than usual! He said he felt like it was ‘his time to get things out of his system’ before he lost his ‘freedoms.’So reading this study makes me understand how my partner is feeling, but it is also very frustrating. Obviously he will never know what its like to already have to be responsible for a baby BEFORE it comes out-us women have to change EVERYTHING on the spot or risk losing our babies.A friend said to me ‘A pregnant women becomes a mother instantly. Men take 9 months.’My partner is responsible and loving. He goes with me to all my Dr. visits even just to draw blood. He makes sure he calls requests all of those days off work & makes sure I am healthy & have the thi8ngs I need. It’s just right now he even told me he wants to enjoy his life now with his friends and activities & go out because he knows once the baby arrives that will be all he is doing and caring about. I just feel like he is preparing the wrong way, & I have told him how I feel. He continues to go out. He has also said because the change in my hormones & how I am so emotional & more needy now turns him off and he finds it very annoying to be around me all time time. I try to change this about me, but it is hard because I feel I can not control it. Everything is changing inside me & its all part of the process!It seems like a lot of men do this same thing? I can’t imagine he would just go out all the time once the baby arrives he is a very caring person! I just need some reassurance from other women who went through this. Is there hope for my partner? what about you guys? How have you men delt with this?

A: Let your man go and play. At least he understands how his life is going to change when the baby comes. Try not to stifle him. Just keep on doing what you’ve always done. I am a woman with hormones, but I also tell my daughter that hormones are no excuse for being crabby or whiny. Emotional is ok, but not clingy. I know that you want that security that he’s on board with this baby, but a lot of men just can’t relate to pregnancy. I have four kids and my husband never “got into” any of my pregnancies.A lot of men feel threatened or crowded with the prospect of a child coming. Give your man space and freedom. That will be the best way to keep him close. Don’t put any demands on him or expect him to be excited about this baby. Don’t nag him or try to get him to feel the baby move. Encourage him to continue his social life (obviously within reasonable limits) By the way, get married.

What were you first signs of pregnancy?

Q: I’m just curious.I personally have been wondering if I am. I had my normal period about the second to last week in May. Had unprotected sex with my ex on May 31st. I’d been extremely tired, and read somewhere that was a pregnancy symptom, so I took a test a couple days before my expected period. It came out negative. Had my period second to last week of June. It was shorter than usual, and lighter. Come July, symptoms kicked in full swing. I was extremely tired, always wanted to sleep. Random foods were causing me heartburn. I was a little gassy, when I usually never am. When I brushed my teeth and spit, there would be a little bit of blood. I was constipated. I would be nauseous, not wanting to eat anything. I would go without eating for most of the day. but then I get cravings. The last week, I feel like all I’ve eaten is butter rum muffins and Snickers bars. My favorite foods mozzerella sticks, pizza, cheesecake, buffalo chicken… just the thought of it makes me want to barf. I’ve been having to pee atleast every hour. Anyways, come the second to last week of July, and no period. I had slight cramping, so I expected it to come, but it never showed. I figured it was just late, but now that’s it been a couple of weeks, I’m gonna go with it’s not showing up. I started noticing more symptoms after that (they were there before, just hadn’t really noticed them) like I’ve been having slight headaches and backaches. My boobs are veiny now, especially near the nipple (sorry if TMI), my aerolas have darkened, and the “dots” on my aerolas are sticking out, which they’ve never done before. My boobs have definitely gotten bigger, they hang out of my bra now. My boobs have also been very achy on and off through the day.. I know some people have this before their period, but I’ve never had achy boobs. I’ve also been having slight cramping. Most of the times it seems to be on my sides, not toward the middle or anything, if that has to do with anything. I’ve also had a heightened sense of smell… my friends all smoke cigarettes, and their smoke which usually doesn’t bother me has been making me want to gag. I’ve been very emotional. Things my friends say to me I’ve been taking alot more personally. I’ve been getting angry quickly. I’ve also been crying alot more. I watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button the other day, and cried 20 times during it. I don’t know if this part is in my head or not, but I swear I’m gaining weight in my stomach only. I’ve been losing weight on my hips, but my stomach seems to be “protruding”. Not something anyone else has noticed, but I’ve definitely noticed. And it seems that most of it is toward the top of my stomach. Oh, I’m bad explaining this. I just notice it alot more, I guess I’ll leave it at that. Plus, my acne has cleared up ALOT. My skin has always been more acne prone, runs in the family on my dad’s side (I know everyone gets acne, but both my dad and my sister had severe acne), but lately I only have 1 or 2 small pimples. I’ve had more vaginal discharge.Yes, I know the only way to definitely know is to take a pregnancy test, but I’m kind of scared. Like, I’m excited, and I know I’m going to be disappointed if I’m not. Second, I’ve been pysching myself out. My ex has low sperm count, and we were together for two+ years and never got pregnant. It would blow my mind if we just happened to get pregnant while having sex AFTER we broke up. I feel like it’s all in my head. But if no period this month, then I’ll be taking a test.Anyways,for moms/moms to be only…What were your first symptoms?How many times did you have to pee in your first trimester? haha just curious. Did you have any period like bleeding? If so how long into your pregnancy did it continue?When did you first notice a belly on yourself?’When did you notice new curves?Sorry for so many questions, I’m just a curious kind of person. And if you want to comment toward you’re opinion on my situation… feel free. Just remember, I’m emotional, so no smart a** comments, k?The nausea has actually toned down some (its still there, but not half as bad). I’d be about 11 weeks, so that would make sense because the nausea usually quites in the second trimester, right? The nausea has gone away. Tonight, for supper alone, I thought I was full, but ended up devouring a steak and ice cream. Tomorrow there’s a party and I plan on drinking, but I’m going to go buy a couple of tests tomorrow to see whether or not I’m pregnant. If I’m pregnant, than of course I won’t drink. So yeah. Thanks!I’m thinking with just the peeing alone, I’m going to take a test. It hit a chord when you said you were peeing 5 times a night… I have had to wake up a bunch of times.

A: My first symptoms were sore breasts, very tired, and I broke out with acne for about 2 weeks2 I honestly never had that symptom with any of my 4 babies I just peed like I normally do all throughout my pregnancies3 no, I never had any bleeding4 with my first I was about 16 to 18 weeks b4 it was noticeable

Should I be worried about being pregnant?

Q: Okay so my last period was July 25-29. Then the next night there was an accident during sex, but he didn’t actually ejaculate in me. It was just some unprotected penetration, but he did stop in order to put a condom on before he finished. Sorry for being kind of graphic but I don’t know how else to describe it. And yes, I know that was stupid, so no lectures please. I’ve never been in this situation before and I’m just looking for some advice. This was the first time that ever happened and it will definitely be the last. Anyway, the next afternoon (July 31) I took the first Plan B Pill. Then I took the second dose 12 hours later as directed. Then from about August 4-8 there was some light bleeding/spotting. I didn’t have any cramps with it and no little clots came out as usual with my periods, so I’m assuming that wasn’t my “real” period or even an “early” period, it was a side effect from taking the pill. So here it is, August 29 and there are no signs of my period in sight. How worried should I be and how likely is it that my period is just late because of the pill? How long should I wait before I start freaking out and/or take a pregnancy test? Actually, if you are taking a pregnancy test, is there a certain time of the month when it should be done?Oh and I did go to the doctor last week for a blood test cause I’ve been sick and apparently it came back positive for mono. Is there any way that if I was pregnant, would it have shown up in that blood test or would the doctor have to be looking for it specifically? I do have to have another blood test next week for my mono and I’m wondering if I should ask the doctor to check it to see if anything shows up in that pregnancy wise. The doctor is a guy, so it would be a little awkward, but at this point I don’t know what else to do besides wait and hope my period comes. I’m kinda nervous, so any advice would be appreciated. I’m really just looking for opinions on the possibility of being pregnant until I am able to find out for sure.

A: You can already make the test. i think that two weeks after sex, the test will have a result. I don’t think, that there is a high chance of you being pregnant, but that the delayed period is an effect of the hormons. I can take some time until your cycles are normal again.A good way to find out, which days are fertile and which not, is to chart your morning temperature and feel the cervical mucus.
