military wives!

Anyone else experiencing their pregnancy without their hubby? This is my first time being pregnant and I'm always extremely jealous of the couples I see together at my OB office and I'm always by myself.. Hubby is deployed and it's hard not to be able to have him there or even to tell him all the new things happening with baby

I'm 37 weeks and 4 days, pregnant with my second, I'm an oilfield wife. My husband was working in Pennsylvania when we got pregnant, we live in Texas. Luckily he is now working 4 hours away, but I have gone to most of my appointments alone. It *****, he is supposed to be home next week so hopefully I don't go into labor until he is here. I know how you feel. Many women take their husband for granted.

I'm a FTM and a first time wife, my husband and I have been married for almost 7 months and I'm 13 weeks! I have only had one doctors appointment but have gone alone :/ I will be without my hubby for another 9 weeks! :/ I am scared my husband won't be there for most of this pregnancy.

Yeah.. My husband is in the army and I'm 7 months and he's only been to one appointment.. It is something I still have to get used to I suppose. It definitely isn't fun going to appointments alone and seeing all the couples

I always go by myself cause my husband can't just take off from work since he's in the navy. He will be deployed soon so it'll still be me by myself. It's the way of the military spouse unfortunately.

I know exactly what you are going through, I was alone my previous pregnancy. I was even alone at the hospital the day my son was born, I had him alone, my mom was at work and she didn't arrive until my son was already an hour old. It truly *****! I'm so sorry you're going through that. This time around I have my husband here and it does make a difference. God bless!
