Partners
Not sure if I am just overly sensitive, but I feel like my partner isn’t interested in feeling our baby moving. It’s usually initiated by me to feel our baby. Also, I sometimes send photos or show him my bump and I don’t get much from him. Is this relatively normal or have you found your partners to be really interested and enthusiastic. I know he’s absolutely excited for the baby, but cant help but feel disappointed by his lack of enthusiasm, and wondered if this was just me feeling a certain kind of way because my body is changing.

Don’t my partners the same 🥺 it might be a boy thing?
My partner can be the same at times! He likes to feel baby move but doesn’t like looking at my bump when it does!
Exactly the same. It takes the excitement away from me really annoys me.. I think it's generally normal unfortunately
Mine is the same. He’s not interested in feeling any movement and says the idea of feeling it makes him feel a bit strange. I just hope he doesn’t regret not trying it later on.
Mine is the same, really disappointing but I’ve come to terms with it. I prefer to think of it now as mine and my babies special time together :)

My partner doesn’t like the feeling/thought of baby movement, he felt our little boy kick once and now in this pregnancy he has felt our little girl kick once just to please me I think 🤣 I don’t force him to feel bump as I think it’s fair enough if you don’t like the feeling of it, he will however give me a cuddle from behind and cradle bump while doing so, just doesn’t like it if he knows baby is moving! I think it’s probably a lot of men but not all, he’s an amazing dad to our boy though and know he will be the same this time round so don’t be disheartened, I’m sure his dad instincts will kick in as soon as baby is born x
