Why is he suddenly being less supportive when I need him most?

Throughout this pregnancy so far, my partner has been 100% supportive and very understanding of my changing mood, sickness and everything else pregnancy brings. We also have a 3 year old son together who will be 4 years old in June; when I was pregnant with my son, it was a very difficult situation with us being so young, but again he had been supportive throughout - I'm now 19 and he is 21. Recently, just before Christmas, my partner was hospitalized and there was concerns over the health over his heart. Of course this was a very stressful time and he's only just started to act like his normal self. I'm 30 weeks and 3 days pregnant now and he seems to be changing; in hind-sight, we're in a much better position emotionally and financially to cope with this child's arrival but he seems less interested in me and the baby. I am always trying to give him opportunities to voice any concerns or worries he has, but he just shuts me out. This in turn stresses me out a lot and I know sometimes he just needs his own space but it worries me a lot because the due date is getting closer and I don't want us to drift apart or fall out when the baby comes. Anyone having a similar situation? Have you found a way of sorting it?

  • I'm not in the same situation but know guys handle things completely different than us. Maybe hes scared to get close to the baby and something happen to him due to his heart. Also like you said its getting closer to the due date and he might be a little scared.i hope everything is ok and he becomes supportive again.
