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?
