Q: How does your partner react to baby in womb?

My husband isn't very talkative anyway. He doesn't say much in conversation. I try to get him to feel baby move. The first time he felt her move, it didn't like and said "it's an alien - jokingly" but still don't like to put hand on my stomach to feel possible movement. I can't get him to sit and watch my belly move when she is more active. He comments that he can wait when she comes out. Is this a common experience? and what do you do to try to get him to feel more comfortable. I think it is important for baby to hear the father. Any suggestions are welcomed.

I think it is natural for men to be like this. Its hard for them as we are the ones going through it not them.. I think it becomes much more real once baby arrives. Don't worry about him not connecting just yet, once he sees you give birth that's when things change for men.
