Hugs SB He probably did not mean it the way it came out, you know how bad men can be at expressing their feelings! He is probably worried about all the practical things such as finances and will you be able to go back to work and all the kind of stuff we ladies don't always think about but men tend to overthink IYKWIM.

My first husband was not happy when I got pregnant with number 2 even though we had been trying for a while.
The whole way through I felt like I was on my own. Turns out he was paranoid about money and was thinking 1 was such a hugh change to our lives 2 would be even worse.

While I was in labour he was so sweet and caring and from the moment he cut the cord he his been the greatest father I could have ever hoped for. Although we ended up divorcing for other reasons he still loves his son alot. He admitted being scared and we are still good friends.

Give him time, talk to him and explain how the A word makes you feel. get him to open up if you can. It will make your relationship so much stronger. Men are funny creatures and quite often they worry that being pregnant will hurt us so they want to protect us. Maybe he is simply worried about your health.

Aww hugs hunny! I didnt realise he was freaking out this much!!!!!

I know you are angry and hurt but men are just so different from women when it comes to these things. He may not have even meant it, just a thought that popped into his head at the time....

And if he did mean it, he is not thinking about this pregnancy with and end result of a child. They dont see this as a baby in arms like we do, the minute we see that second line we are immediately attached. They are not, they dont have the hormones, the life inside them.

At this stage, this is something not planned, and in his mind unwanted. His child will not be. He will come around, it may not be in a day or so, a week even. But he will, he wants more children and once this child arrives (if not before) he will be smitten.

Dont hold these words against him, we can only hold ourselves up to our own moral standards and he is being an honest man. Yo may find he is already regretting them.

ohhh that's rough, my grandad did the same thing to my grandma when they found out she was unexpected pregnant 10 years after having their 3 kids. she ignored him and went on to have the baby (My auntie) and she ended up being the greatets blessing ever to them both. especially when grandad died my auntie took grandma on all her family holidays and does so much with her. so expect this "unexpected" baby to be a huge blessing and stick to your guns! going the other way will onlt cause grief and wonderings as to what was lost for the rest of your lives

Hugs SB, like everyone else has said, yes what he said to you was unthinkable, and he is being a complete TOOL!! But, men generally are complete tools a lot of the time. Unfortunately it is a built in mechanism that we ladies seem to be lacking....

I would give it another week, then sit down and talk about it again. Yes, it's sooner than you planned, but at the end of the day you were planning another one anyway so it doesn't make that much difference!

If all else fails, a good bitch slap can work wonders.....

give it time!

he more than likely doesn't *really* mean it, and needs time to get used to it. Everyone has doubts at some point in each pregnancy- it sounds like this is his shock now and needs time to get used to it. We can say hurtful things sometimes, to each other, and don't always mean it.

Hang in there

what someone said to me when i 1st found out i was preg with ds1 is, If i terminated becoz dp wanted me to when I didnt want to at all, that I would only resent him for the rest of my life and our relationship would most likely end becoz of the resentment alone. knowing this I told dp that I wasnt going to "A" wether he stayed or not was up to him. 7.5yrs later we are happily married with 4 kids and eagerly trying for another one.

I am really happy to hear that Snugglebear. I was really concerned and was wondering how you were getting on. My Dh is being funny at the moment but it is just because he doesn't want to get his hopes up if something goes wrong. If your other half is trying to look after you then I would say you guys will be okay. Heres hoping for a happy and uneventful pregnancy for you guys.
