My husband has been acting a bit different since i got pregnant, sometimes more tired and even feeling nauseous like me which is so weird haha. Is this a real thing that happens to the dad too? curious if anyone else noticed this with their partner.
Poor guy gets double the panic when he finds out it's twins! 🤣 My husband went from being a relaxed guy to a diaper-stocking machine overnight. They might not show it, but their stress levels are matching ours, just in a quieter way.
My husband was terrified when I had to go in for an emergency C-section, he looked paler than me! During my recovery, he did all the baby bathing and heavy lifting because I couldn't bend. They really step up as fathers when we need them the most.
I totally understand how we focus so much on the mother, but fathers go through a beautiful emotional transformation too. They feel a deep sense of protection and love growing day by day. Watching my husband talk to my belly was the most heartwarming thing ever.
Mine was literally like a second pregnant person, he had sympathetic cravings and mood swings too! He was so worried about my comfort that he barely slept during my third trimester. Seeing him hold our baby for the first time made all his struggles worth it.
Honestly, they go through a huge mental shift trying to figure out how to manage finances and time. My husband was practically running around balancing office work and helping me with household chores. Give him some space to process, they feel the pressure too.
During pregnancy, they might feel a bit left out since they can't feel the baby the same way we do. But my husband bonded so well by helping me set up a nursing corner and getting me water during midnight feeds later on. Their support is everything.
I feel they also get a bit nervous but try to hide it to make us feel safe. Even though we are still trying, my husband has started reading up on baby care and gets so soft when we talk about it. It is sweet to see them prepare.
