The journey to motherhood is emotionally, physically and mentally exhausting. Everyone believes this and it is definitely true! Becoming a parent is exciting, but it does come with some challenges.

Men are also hit by a surge of emotions during this time and at some point, they start feeling “left out” during the nine months duration.

This is what happened with a man who was left in some deep thoughts after his wife said these words, “I can’t believe I’m making a human being.” He shared his story on Reddit to let people know what happened.

The statement by her disappointed him as he believes he made an equal contribution to creating life! He is not wrong and nor is his wife. His emotions led him to misinterpret a simple thought his wife expressed at that moment.

Watching the baby move inside her womb was extremely special for both of them. They were 2 months away from her delivery date when they visited for the ultrasound. It was a beautiful experience!

However, things got a little complicated when the woman said those words. Her husband wasn’t pleased with that expression and he waited for the right moment in the hospital to tell her how he felt.

He explained to her that she is not the only one “responsible” for bringing life in this world. The baby is ‘made of half his genetic material’. Yes, those were his exact words to his pregnant wife!

At that moment, he failed to acknowledge all that his wife was going through for the past seven months. There are drastic physical changes a woman undergoes during pregnancy.

From hormones to the external body, everything is adjusting according to the needs of the fetus.

He might just have lost focus for a minute and was concentrating on the fact that he is not getting credit for this. Can we blame emotions here?

His wife couldn’t figure out what made him feel so as a wave of emotions had hit her. She didn’t mean to hurt him. She felt distressed and told him that he was ignoring her pain and everything that she is facing during that time.

The man further wrote, “I just don’t think it’s fair to claim I haven’t contributed something to making our daughter.”

The comments poured in on his post with people giving a piece of advice on this matter.

They were infuriated by his opinion on this. One comment was, “It makes me so sad thinking about that poor woman getting excited about her daughter, telling her husband about it, and having him shoot her down so hard.”

Similar views came in under his post and people were quick in informing him what a woman goes through for those nine months. It is definitely an exciting and emotional experience, but at the same time, hard to endure the pain.

If you think he only received hate, then you’re wrong. Some people were on his side too! They understood his point and feelings.

The man ended the conversation by apologizing for his words to his wife. He wrote, “I’m an idiot. I don’t know what I was thinking. I’m gonna apologize and make it up to her however I can.”

We are glad he realized his mistake this way, they would step into parenthood with all the happy feelings and respect for each other.
