Husband not “into” pregnancy

[Anonymous]

DH was exactly like yours. He's been the best father I know of and ADORED our babies. He did not find pregnancy attractive. I wouldn't say it grossed him out, but he wasn't into it.

Some guys really do have a pregnancy fetish.

Counseling and if not I def wouldn’t have more kids with him.

What?!?!? Ridiculous.
My DH was like this… with each of my 6 pregnancies. 🤣 definitely turned off by my pregnant belly (always happy to resume normal frequency after delivery), and NOT into the pregnancy stuff. Never went to an ultrasound, made fun of me for being huge, etc. had to have several talks with him about being doing more around the house when I was subsequently pregnant.

But, he did when I asked. And he is an AMAZING father!

No he is not your children watching your husband treat you like shit while you are preggers is not a good father

He didn’t treat me like “shit” simply because he wasn’t into the pregnancy. Frankly, I’m not sure why husbands always go to the prenatal appointments. What does it accomplish?

He made jokes about me being huge… because I WAS. And I thought it was funny. I was huge and uncomfortable. My confidence is not in the toilet, I just don’t take myself too seriously.

I had to explicitly tell him to do more around the house. Sure. But that is also not treating me like “shit.” That’s just obliviousness. I’d communicate and he’d respond. And he supported the family financially!

No wonder you all are miserable. You want all the sympathy and understanding in the world, but don’t want to give any to your spouse.

Nope. Still not a flex
But he’s your husband. Depend that behavior like it’s the norm.

I have always found pregnant women incredibly sexy.

DH here: hormones have a lot to do with it. I fully expected to be totally into it, but during my DW’s pregnancies my libido was much lower than usual, and not because I don’t like that look. It was strange.

My dh was the same. And it wasn't because of how I looked or getting fat. DH was not into me the SECOND I told him I was pregnant, even before I showed. Happened with all my pregnancies sadly. I was actually a cute pregnant woman and didn't gain too much.

He wasn't repulsed by me. It was more like I got friend-zoned. He still cuddled and hung out with me, but wasn't interested in doing more. After I gave birth he was instantly into me and it was hard to wait 6 weeks.

Wait.. women can be turned off by the myriad things that are brought up on this board (facial hair, working too much, working too little, not cooking, knowing how to cook, not cleaning the house, cleaning the house, being afraid of lawn mowers, etc) and men can’t be turned off by their wives temporarily looking like the stay puff marshmallow man?

My husband wasn’t into pregnancy at all. To be honest, neither was I. I love my kids and am lucky they’re here, but I did not enjoy being pregnant and my husband didn’t love the impact it had on me or our intimacy. He came to a couple of doctor appointments - the big anatomy ultrasounds - but that’s it and I didn’t see the point of him coming to others. It’s wonderful if your spouse is very excited about it, but the reality is that a lot of men and women are blase about pregnancy itself.

Pregnant women are sexy. Had a lady friend get pregnant via ONS and I eventually slept with her while she was pregnant. Huge turn on and would love another chance to sleep with another pregnant woman.

Some men aren’t into the ritual of pregnancy. I think movies TV and social media have a lot to do with women’s expectations of what their husbands need to do while they’re pregnant. Foot rubbing and back rubbing is one of those things that might not come naturally, if they’ve never done it before.

I may have missed it, but have you asked him to go to the doctor appointments with you?

Press send it too soon. Aside from my ultrasound my husband didn’t go to any of my doctor appointments because there was simply no need. Maybe he feels the way I do.
