Prayers sent your way...is the deployment short enough where you can wait till he is home to tell him?

:hugehug What's the disorder? Your child IS for sure missing body parts, or there is a possibility of it developing without them?

If you could tell me what the disease is I might be able to give you some info on it...if you want to you can PM. The fact is that if the gene is on a recessive gene then your hubby would have to have it too for the child to have it. If it is dominant gene then your child could get it from you, but since I dont know what the disease is its hard to comment. Your child could just be a carrier for it too, like u are. It is awful to think what if by yourself of your unborn child i know, but try to be calm bc if your body is too stressed out then you could make yourself sick and that baby inside you needs your love and attention, you are the only one who can do that right now. Order your favorite food tonight and call your best friend, mom, or whomever and vent it out. Try to get someone to come over and distract you if possible and I would say you might want to wait on telling your dh much more than you have to get some tests done and that you'll talk to him about it when hes home. This way he knows about it but you can truelly tell him about it when he is home. If it was a long deployment i would say just tell him but i mean its only a week and a half. If you feel like you need to tell him then do its your choice and neither is wrong. Rent or pull out your favorite movie and watch it tonight with your feet up and try to be calm and treat yourself. I hope this helps, when are you getting your tests done? PM me if you wanna talk more I'm here for you.
