How To Get Husband Involved In Pregnancy Process

I'm a ftm, I can't find my husband involvement or excitement for my pregnancy. Like for example he will not auto touch my belly unless I ask him so, or wanting to speak to baby, instead he is more interested to touch my boobs. He also never ask on baby or how I feel. When I shared with him on the baby's clothing that I saw online but he like no feeling. I don't feel his involvement or excitement, and I feel quite sad about it. I joined mummies chat group and saw the mummies are sharing their hubby are so excited, keep wanting to feel the baby through the belly etc. Sometimes I will just joke with him that other husband is touch belly, u keep touching boobs, he will just joking reply touch from top to bottom ma. But I can feel the touching of belly is just for the sake of touching becos I say him. How to make husband to have more involvement in my pregnancy?

I think he is still trying to get used to the fact that the both of you are having a baby. My hubby also initially kept touching my boobs, and he admitted that he felt a little disappointed that we aren’t able to have sex during my pregnancy. But not to worry babe. Have him be engaged as much as possible. When the baby starts moving in your belly, let him know and describe the movements to him. Put his hand on your belly when the baby is active. He will be more interested in the baby when he/she is more active and can react to his touch and voice. 😊
