Emotional roller coaster

[torilouise11]

I'm so torn right now. My boyfriend was due to leave for basic for the marines this sunday, the 18th. Well they tell him today his date got pushed back to February 10th. One day before my due date. I don't even know how to feel. I had been mentally preparing myself. I had finally excepted it just to hear that we have to do all over again. What if i don't have the baby before he leaves?  That's the only bonus about his ship date being pushed back. He has to be here. Would it be possible to be induced at 39 weeks if I talk to my doctor and explain the situation? I would love to have a natural birth. But now it's on a time limit. Please give me some insight/advice. I'm so torn :\

Honey its only the start! My husbands a marine... Ive stuck by him through alot. Hes been gone most of our marriage. Also dont stick to.his ship out date too much. My husband left august 8th for bootcamp but wasnt suppose to leave til.dec from what his recruiter had said. If he talks to.his recruiter he can ask to leave sooner sometimes. Or he can choose to stay for atleast the birth. They cant force you to.go to boot camp, so really the decision is his. Besides 13 weeks is hell of a wait, and its emotionally a wreck. You van do this(: just think you could have birth while he is deployed.... It does happen.... Be thankful though(: The hardest job is loving a man in the marine corps! If you have any questions or just want to talk message me anytime(:

My boyfriend is prior service and he's thinking about getting a civilian job at his old duty station in California. I semi know how you feel. Its very stressful! But I'm sure if you explain your situation your doctor will be willing to induce you sooner. Most doctors are okay as long as its within two weeks of the due date. That way it won't harm the baby in anyway. Plus if you're already stressed out you don't want it to complicate your birth! I'm sure you'll be fine! Good luck with everything!
