Happy Baby Original Baby Carrier

“I didn’t experience this from my SO when I got pregnant. But from what I can tell maybe he’s genuinely worried for the safety and health of the baby and he’s not understanding that it’s putting you down and causing you more stress than he’s realizing. A lot of people think coffee is the worst thing you could drink next to alcohol while pregnant. Try explaining to him that caffeine intake can only be harmful under certain circumstances (high risk pregnancies & serious amounts of caffeine) and that a cup of coffee a day won’t be harmful unless your dr is recommending to stay away from it. I’d also recommend telling him that most OBGYN offices won’t book appointments for anything sooner than 10-14 weeks. Even if you wanted to get in sooner they’d most likely say they don’t want to see you until later. Most importantly try to have a sit down conversation with him and calmly explain that you haven’t been feeling very supported since getting pregnant, acknowledge the fact that he cares for you but that he needs to be aware that your hormones are haywire and you’re going though a lot of changes mentally, not just physically. And that he needs to be a bit more gentle with his words and the way he talks to you. Just the slightest tone change in his voice can be taken a certain way even if he isn’t intending it. I hope he realizes he needs to be a bit more gentle and I’m sure you guys will get through this. Going through your first pregnancy is a big test to the strength of a relationship and shows both people’s true colors and it can be a rough one. But if you guys support eachother and acknowledge each others struggles you’ll get through it and it’ll make you stronger. You’ve got this mama. Congrats on your pregnancy and I wish you a very healthy and happy baby and a safe, fast delivery :)”
