hi, i have four children and my husband found it hard with the first it was hard for him to cope with the prospect of going from couple to family, i took him along to see the midwife and every appoinment relating to the pregnacy, the more he understood what was going on the better he got, he was just worred that he wouldn't know what to do or how to deal with things when baby came along, men are funny like that hes probably really worred and doesn't want to worry you! Unless its something compleatly diffrent and hes hiding behind baby and work (and if he doesn't say how can you help?!) then i think reasureing him hes going to be a great dad and getting someone else to chat to him about becoming a father may help. Good luck i know men aren't the most receptive creatures when it comes to emotions!
