If he ain't skeered, he can still show up with a pickle and ....
2 options
1) keep leaving the yellow pages open to u-haul and circle u-haul with a highlighter or
2) live with it and enjoy ur baby. I sure love mine more than I knew I could.
just so u know. My wife (while pregnant) would light into me from the time I got home from work until after I went to bed. She would stand in the door and ***** at me. Soooo I rented a u-haul and brought it home and said "we gotta talk, is ur stuff packed?" (True story) she went and stayed with her friend for about 2 weeks and came back with new attitude. Been great ever since and that was almost 4years ago. I just needed to make the point clear to her that a partnership doesn't mean "make me not want to come home ever ever again and I'll fight you for custody" did I mention I am an ass hole sometimes?

I've got three kids, here's the pattern I've seen.
Pregnant - gets meaner as it progresses
About 2 months after Pregnancy - HUGE FIGHT. I'm tired of her crap, her hormones are readjusting from being pregnant, and you're both exhausted from a baby that won't sleep.
After blowing off some steam we start getting along for a while.
About 2 months after nursing is done - HUGE FIGHT. I'm tired of her crap, her hormones are readjusting from nursing (yep, another adjustment), and you're both exhausted (it's your new normal).
After blowing off some steam we get along for a while. My pattern has been to go back to step one next, YMMV. Cut her some slack and try to survive. Good luck.

I worked 12 to 14 hours a day, 7 days a week for the first several years of marriage. Managed to survive both pregnancies and now things are great. 24 years of marriage and only 1 time have we ever had a fight big enough to discuss divorce. We dismissed it as impractical and too expensive. I love being married to a practical woman.
This was exactly what I needed to wake up to. I started reading this thread from the start and have been laughing hard since. Brother I feel your pain. LOL I hope things will work out for you. Good wake up read.
My wife was a crazy ***** for the first like 6 months. We had a talk, and understood it was the hormones. Make sure she gets help if she continues with odd moods after the birth. My wife had pretty bad depression, but we got through it. Patience is almost impossible in some instances, but if you care about her, its worth it.
This is the best advice I have heard yet. Been through 2 natural births and am on my 12th year of marriage.
My Father told me once; "being a man isn't always doing the macho thing, or the cool thing, it's doing what you know is the right thing."
You made a Comittment ... There is a little person counting on you.
Turning around and going home +2 man-card points
I've seen this exact behavior in all the new mommies I've seen EXCEPT the one that went back to smoking pot daily after her pregnancy was over. Guess those Haitian witch doctors know what's up?
lol
As for personal feelings on the original issue, I haven't gone through a pregnancy before, but I can certainly tell you that for one week out of the month all hell breaks loose like clockwork. I walk on eggshells and spend a LOT more time in the basement, fishing, working or drinking beer. When you get to be at work 12-14 hours a day, you really aren't around them enough for them to get mad at you. They'll store that up because they are "lonely" and then they cheat on you. You can never work enough or have enough free time for them, can't please a woman.
