I hope ya start feeling better hun, youve got a beautiful gift growing inside you. My husband drives truck too, and i know how tough it can be. Once that babys born though, it changes their perspective. My husband hauls locally now...(mostly timber with his log truck but sometimes a low boy and moves heavy equiptment) he just wants to be home to spend time with his boy and me. The baby kind of re-alligned his priorities in a good way. It will be ok hon, your not alone. And while it may not mean much, youve got us :) Hope it gets better for you.

My husband works away from home for 2 weeks at a time.  It can be very lonely while he is gone, I have no family or friends nearby, but I have gotten so used to it that it's really not so bad.  It nay nit be that your fiance doesn't understand, but it may just be that it's hard for him to deal with not being able to make you happy.  I know that when I used to get upset about being stuck at home it would really hurt my husband, and make him feel like I didnt respect the sacrafices he was making.  Even though that wasn't the case thats how he felt.  So I had to change my attitude, I never complain about him being gone, instead I thank him for doing it for us.  I lost all my single childless friends after getting pregnant, we had also moved.  It was hard.  You need to try to find some things that make you happy, some hobbies, I taught myself to sew and enjoy doing that, I like having time to work out once the kids are in bed, and read.  I try to keep busy while he is gone.  When baby comes it might be a good idea to join some mom groups, mops at a church, go to story times at the library, and things like that so you can meet other moms.  Even now theres things you could do to keep busy, find a scrapbooking group, a reading club, join a gym and do some prenatal classes.  Anything that you enjoy!  Congratulations on the wedding, and baby!

You tough it out dear. I know you feel lonely but you are no alone : ) You have a lil babe counting on you, and your getting Married!! Be happy and grateful for a man who wants to marry you, make and raise a family, and provide for you! That's a lot more than most women have, I promise. There are a ton of completely single ladies or women are in it alone that make it just fine. Friends come and go, I think a lot of learned that when we found out we were pregnant. In this time, you can truly tell who cares really. I wouldn't stress : ) Mind over matter luv, you could be worse off. but congrats on the babe and the wedding : )
