Pregnancy and relationship
Hello everyone, a couple of days ago we found out that I m pregnant and we are naturally both very excited. But it seems from the moment we saw the test results my partner became a different person.
The last days he is treating me like I'm seriously ill or like that something bad is going to happen to me anytime. He is calling me every hour at work to ask me if I'm ok. He is calling me when I'm on my way home to ask me if I can drive. Everytime I'm about to eat something he is asking me if I have checked that I can eat this particular food.
While we usually have sex mutliple times a day he maintains a distance the last couple of days and yesterday he has admitted that he isn't sure if its ok to have sex with me.
His whole behaviour is so unlike him and it leaves me sad and angry first because I'm a very idependent person and second because I'm feeling really great and really there is no reason for him to react like that.
Has anyone experienced sth like this ? Any ideas if I can talk him out of this overprotectiveness?

He going through new dad freak out. Assure him it's all OK. I was shoveling snow 8 months pregnant with a two year old in a pack on my back - we're tougher than we think!
Tell him that there is NOTHING you can't do (within reason) as long as you feel up to it. I packed up a whole house and moved it from PA to TN when I was 4 months pregnant with our second child and then I moved it all again at 8 months out of my in-laws house and into our own place. My hubby kind of freaked out with our first too but he was MUCH better with our second. It might help if he could go along with you to your next appt. and hear from your doctor that you are cleared to go on with life as usual and that he does not have to worry. That helped my husband a lot! Congrats and Good Luck with the hubby!
Thank you for your replies. I think it will take him some time to adjust but eventually he will realise that things are ok. I just hope I go on feeling just as good as I do now.
