dh's and baby plans
For those ladies who planned to ttc, How was your dh about picking a time frame?
My DH and I wanted to start around valentines day, now we are kind of pushing it off till after my bday in may. When I ask him about what month this year he wants to start ttc, he says he doesnt know and doesnt want to pick a time he just wants it to happen and clams up. I have tried talking with him about it and he thinks we a just putting to much thought in to it. He agrees that its best to wait till we are close to paying at lest one car off (which we are) but doesnt have anymore input into the topic. And thinks that it will just happen.
Just wondering what has happened with you ladies.
Re: dh's and baby plans
It takes an average couple about 6 months to get pregnant. Just keep that in mind. It took us 3 cycles, and that was with charting. If you know you want to be pregnant w/i the next few months, I would dump birth control and see what happens.
DH was weird about the topic too and was frustrated what I got my period those first few months. Maybe your husband is slightly aloof because he is really excited to be a daddy!!
That is just me : ) GL!
my DH was super ready, perhaps more ready than me. he has always been good about realizing just how much of 'the work' is done by the mother. so he always said the timing was up to me.
that being said, is it possible your dh isnt ready? i get him wanting to "let it happen" a lot of people do that (thats how we are on our way to 2) but maybe let him know it's giving you mixed messages? did you have a certain time frame in mind? and maybe discuss with him why that is?
my dh is like that too, doesn't want to talk about it too much, except for when it comes to finances he chirps in. i think he's just hard wired different than I am. where I look at the personal impact, he is the one who looks at the financial impact. It's annoying sometimes and I accuse him of not wanting children, but he keeps telling me that its not true. Every once in a while though he sees a baby and waves at them and then will look at me and tell me we're almost there.
