My oh refuses to feel the baby kicking he says it's weird and he doesn't know anyone who does that it really upsets me and I've tried talking to him about it and he says he'll try more when I'm further along as I'm so tiny now even though I'm 27 weeks it's still not obvious I'm pregnant. :( am I overreacting or is he being a dick? I'm worried he isn't connecting with the baby he has given me and discussed name choices plus come with me to buy baby stuff and helped me pick it out :(

Thanks guys that's made me feel much better hopefully he'll be more interested when I get bigger x
My OH didn't feel my belly at all during my pregnancy, he said it was weird and strange, and after many, many arguments about it, was sat and talked about it and he explained why he thought it was weird and after that I understood and he understood that him not wanting to touch me or my belly made me feel really down about myself and like he didn't want me any more, which is 100% not the case. It might be worth talking to him about it and tell him how it makes you feel. Xx
Mine was the same too, no interest in feeling or talking to bump, but now he can see her moving from the outside and my bump is much bigger he talks to her every night. He's still rubbish at picking clothes though! haha. x
My oh has always loved touching my belly both times round trying to feel for kicks.. With my son he used to sing to my belly and our son would kick him in the head lol.. I'm only 20w this time round and since that positive test he's always putting his hands on my belly.. I don't think it's all men at all.. Just some.. Some just take time adjusting.. At least he's told you he's a little uncomfortable doing it atm
I don't think men take it as seriously as we do until the baby is actually here, my OH didnt until about 32 weeks when he could really see I was pregnant and baby would move an awful lot xx
My oh was the same at first, he thought it was so strange. But now he sits and talks to my belly and waits for a kick. I suppose men cope with it different, they don't understand what we feel xx
in the beginning mine didn't seem to care about it, even towards the end he didn't take every opportunity to feel the kicks. but we've just spent our first night home and he's been the most supportive and amazing daddy... I think men struggle because to them it's just a belly, they have such a different perspective on pregnancy
My OH was like this :) I just left him to it xD Didn't push him at all :) Then eventually he started asking to touch my belly :) I think it is an odd experience for them and may seem kinda scary :) when they come to realise there actually is a baby in there xD x
