Sounds to me you may need to have that all important conversation whether he wants to be an active father or not. At least if you know now you can plan before the birth because it sounds to me you may not have his support and if there is no support now that is very unlikely to change. Sorry you’re having to go through this and it’s always safe to say the mother does have to accept this unconditionally.
Sounds like he does seem excited or that interested. It maybe different when baby's here but I wouldn't hold out hope. I'd do the photoshoot on my own they will be precious memories for you to cherish xxx
I would be so mad if my partner said he’s not coming for my maternity shoot. You shouldn’t even ask him to be your birthing partner he should volunteer. I’m so sorry pls go on your own
Just to say, my fiance is incredibly supportive and a fab dad, but he didn't go to my appointments (no need) and he only came to the 12 and 20 week scans (I had growth scans too). It wasn't worth him taking time out of work for these, as unlike me he would have to make the time back! As for buying baby things, he would have happily bought things had I asked him to, but I knew what we needed so I just did it
As for maternity photos, never bothered.
I think you need to have a conversation about the relationship because this just sounds odd especially for a father to be. Like why would he not know whether he wants to be your birthing partner or not??? Like???
screw it ! u got this 🫶🏽have someone that truly supports u and go & take those pics!!!! especially of u really want to youll regret it if u dont .. step one of being a mom if u want to do something do it even if no one wants to do it with u
Am sorry to hear that, was he ever happy when you told him you were pregnant. That meant be a tune of, is not interested
