I'm pregnant with my first child and my boyfriend's there,but scared any advice

I think something happens when you the minute you become a parent... your instincts kick in. You could have taken every parenting class out there, but you will never know as much about raising a kid until you actually have one.
I wouldn't worry too much about your boyfriend's parenting skills. I think the minute he sees his child for the first time, he will do everything he can to love and protect him or her.
I hope you have an easy pregnancy and birth.

I could be totally mistaken, but I bet that the first time that he sees the baby he will be a whole different man. That's the way it was with my husband when I was pregnant with our daughter. I really didn't know what kind of father to expect him to be, but the moment that he had our daughter in his arms he was smitten and since that moment I can't imagine him being a better father than he is today.
I think you could take part in all the preparations in the world, but until you have your child in your arms and it is really real, you don't know quite what you're getting into.

sometimes it is more fast to learn when you are hands on already. sometimes what we learn on parental courses is different once the baby is there already. like what go girl said instink kicks in. dont worry about that, for now just enjoy the creation that is slowly getting big inside your tummy. worry makes you stressed out and it is not good for a pregnant woman. relax and enjoy. just like you said there is no turning back then face it with a smile. goodluck

hello Robyn28,
wow! congratulations. don't worry too much about your boyfriend's behavior. maybe he was still shock about the good news but no sooner he will be interested in learning doing those stuff and resposibilties. more so when you are about to deliver or upon seeing your baby.
everything will gonna be okey. having a baby of your own is truly a blessing from the Creator. just do what you think is best for you and your baby. he might be doing that as well secretly. good luck to you and take care.

wow you must take care for your baby when he/she born you must suggest your boy friend to care your baby together, both of you must make your baby happy, and give the big attention and love to your baby=)

well congrats on the new baby!Its so much fun when they get here!But back to you.I had the same thoughts and feelings as you when i was pregnant with my first.I had never seen my boyfriend hold a a baby let alone change a diaper. I was so scared things were going to be to difficult for him and he would give up.But like they said your instincts kick in. I think for the first couple of days he was mad because i wouldn't let him make the bottle,change the diaper,or change the clothes. But I gave him the chance and he proved to me he could do it. He a great dad and knows how to do it all.I'm sure he will catch on maybe give him a few days to sit back and watch you.I hope it all goes well and the best of luck to you and your new family

my wife is pregnant with our first child,about 15 weeks.
eat what you want and hava enough sleeping,have a good mood.
Eat an apple a day keep doctor away.
Don't worry be happy.


hope you can understand my Chinese style English

I think it involves an emotional process. Don't worry about your boyfriend if he's not ready yet for now because we don't know it when you give birth or the baby will born, he will be amaze and takes his responsibility as a father. Just let him for now and try to talk to him for sometimes.

Constant communication with your boyfriend my dear. It is only but natural for him to feel scared especialy if this is his first time.
