is anyone elses husband freaked out?? mine is on the verge of a breakdown today. he is panicked about money, the health of the baby, are we going to have enough time to set up the nursery. ( mind you i am 3 months along today.) you name it he is stressing out over it. he is having nightmares that the baby is not healthy and that he isnt going to be a good dad. i dont know what to do for him. i just keep trying to reassure him that everything is going to be ok but it doesnt seem to be working. anyone else in the same boat or have any suggestions on how to help?

Re: freaked out hubby
Mine DEFINITELY freaked out when I told him we were PG! He got really worried about EVERYTHING...mostly money related. I understand where you are coming from. He is also concerned about the health of our child and whether he would be able to handle it if something was wrong.
But I think it's normal and a healthy response. Have you figured out the finances yet? We just keep reminding ourselves that everything will work out...it has too...the baby is coming and will be ready..somehow...someway.
Good luck - when are you due? I'm 8/26...

Re: freaked out hubby
i'm due 8/13. the finances arent really that bad my husband has a good job. granted we arent living high on the hog and i'm not working right now because right before i found out i was pregnant my 2 other children came down with the chicken poxs and unfortunatly i had to stay home with them for almost 3 weeks. well my boss did not like that and i was let go. so i have been home since december. my husband picks up some overtime 2 xs a month and it damn near makes up my salary (with all the expenses we would have had while i was working day care etc etc.) i know we are going to be ok. i truly believe that things will work themselves out. i tried to tell him that we have been through much tougher stuff. this should be a walk in the park!!! i just feel so bad that he is so stressed out about this. i would love to help him some way i just dont know how..
