Crabby!
My husband is off at basic training and I'm so tired of hearing oh its not forever and blah blah blah!! I know this already but I'm 18 weeks today and nobody gets how bad I miss him. Plus I've had morning sickness this whole time and now I guess my hormones are making me super anti social! Am I the only one losing my mind?
it's hard at first, for me anyways cos I never been in this situation. but I wrote him almost everyday while he was in basic, & honestly it really does make you feel better. Now he's in another state getting his ged, then he's either coming home or going straight to ait. yep it ***** and I deff didn't think I would beable to do it, but I also kept myself busy with work this whole time. now that it's getting close to my due date my hrs are getting cut so impending time with friends . not gonna lie sometimes I just wanna cry and beg him to come home ( pregnancy hormones make everything worse ) but I know I can do it. lord knows you can't stay around and be miserable or it's just gonna be worse on you :(
and to be honest, this time fleeeeeeeew by like nothing. October will e here before you kno it !

Yeahh I am a marine wife and 30 weeks pregnant. My husband is here for the pregnancy but a couple weeks or so after she is born he goes to pre deployment training and then over seas. Not exactly the same since i won't be pregnant but will still have the hardship of it. If I were you I would join a support group of ladies in the same branch. They are there for you to talk to and be another support system because family and friends just don't understand. Also, start some hobbies or do regular outings with friends or family. If you are anything like me when I feel in a crappy mood and want to be anti social I usually get more depressed and in pregnancy that's never good.
My hubby is in the military too(army) gheez i do not think i would be able to handle a pregnancy with him gone. him being away to Basic was hard enough for me. trust me you should talk to military people that may understand you better than family and friends with no experience with the military. thats just me. im currently pregnant with our first(9weeks) and am i needy all i want is to him to be with me 24/7 even tho he can't :( stay strong:) for me this strengthen our relationship nothing tops seeing him for the first time in so long :)
Yep ...^agreed. I was a marine for four years married to another marine. In 5 years of our marriage he has deployed 3 times and gone for training months at a time. Both of us have had to work from5 am til 8 pm. Also I am 21 weeks and he is leaving to go to drill instructor school for a few months in July. Being that your not used to it I get it ***** but hun....there will be so many more times that you will be independant.
First time is always tough and I feel for you, but as a person who is in the military and married to someone who is also in the military I have to tell you that this journey is only beginning. My husband and I have been married for five years. In those five years I have been deployed overseas twice, once in 2008 and then again from 2010 to 2011. Now after years of trying, I am pregnant (14 weeks today) and my husband is due to deploy next month. I didn't think I could do this on my own. Actually, I am still pretty nervous, but I know I will be ok. In your case though there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Basic is only about 9-10 weeks. My advice is to take good care of yourself. Pamper yourself. Write your hubby thousands of letters because just as much as you miss him he misses you. Act as each others support system at this very stressful time and before you know it family day will be here and you will get to see you brand new Soldier. Good luck!
He's suppose to be back early October. I get the same thing you do too and I just wanna strangle people. Hopefully your boyfriend makes it back for the birth! As bad as it sounds I'm tired of being "independent" and just want him home. If nothing else just to tell me yes honey you are crazy but I still love you! Lol
girl iCOMPLETELY understand how you feel. my bf left for basic training in march , I was abouuuut 22 weeks. even tho I have my family for support thru my pregnancy it's just not the same! everyone's like it's not like he's overseas and hell be back blah blah.
like ok, let's take your bf/ husband away from you for months and lets see how you do! smh .. mines still isn't back, and he may miss the birth of his son next month:-/
just try to find people to talk to and don't keep it all inside. that's what I did for a while and it drove me crazy. finally I started talking to a couple friends about it, they must be getting sick of hearing how much I miss him :-p lol
when's he due to be back?
