Hi lauren
I went through a lot of stress with my partner when I was pregnant, he behaved extremely badly in my view and had no understanding of what he put me through. We had to really work through things and I asked him to be sure he wanted to comitt to us or, to do the right thing (in my view) and leave before she was born so I could so in on my own from the start and provide her with stability and love as a lone parent. He stayed, my stipulation was we went to counselling which he agreed to.
I was so concerned for my baby that I visited the GP (I was about 20 weeks at the time) and she assured me that at that stage of the pregnancy stress had no impact upon the baby at all and not to worry. If anything stress will produce the hormone adrenaline which will stop you going into labour but obviously if you're feeling really stressed it's not good for you as you need to rest and prepare mentally and physically for labour and looking after your baby.
All I would say is my daughter is now 7 weeks old and throughout my pregnancy my partner found it extremely difficult to relate to me and our unborn child, now she is here he still finds it hard to talk in a stupid voice to her like I do, to know what clothes go with what and lacks confidence when left alone with her but bottom line, he loves her and he is a great father in s many ways. Give your partner time and remember what is so instinctive and natural to you in relating to your baby is quite alien to some men.
Private message me anytime.
