angies367 02-21-2008, 05:56 PM I'm soooooo sorry.... Is there a friend that will be on Stand By???
Wish I could be there for you.
I haven't had children yet, but I don't think I'd like to do it alone!
I'm so very sorry!
But you're strong and you can do it!
dannysgirl004 02-21-2008, 05:58 PM You know I will help you as much as I can. Hopefully you will just have her a few weeks early and then everything will be ok. Just hang in there everything will work itself out.
MissAmyB 02-21-2008, 06:00 PM :hugs I'm sorry you are going to have to do this alone, but there are resources available to you! Check out Operation Special Delivery, they provide a free labor coach (called a doula) for you so you have support and comfort during labor.

Mosley04 02-21-2008, 06:22 PM I am so sorry. Do you have any friends around that could help with your dd while you are in the hospital? You should go to that other website that the other person posted to see what help you could get through them. I wish you the best of luck with everything.
Shep's Wife 02-21-2008, 06:27 PM :hugs I have been down that same road girl. Keep talking to your doctor about it or make an appointment with one of the other ones. There are some very understanding ob's there, don't give up just yet.
If you need anything just let me know :)
Devinn 02-21-2008, 07:20 PM I'm having to do the exact same thing sweetie. I worry about getting to the hospital, HOW am I going to get to the hospital. Will labor start in a very dramatic way where I CANT drive myself to the hospital and if I have to call 911...how will I get home?
I'm being induced on Monday but I still worry that I won't make it until then...
I know exactly what you're feeling. It's hell, and stressful. But, my mom keeps reminding me that we as women have an inner well of strength that we call upon in times like this...and we ALWAYS make it through just fine. That's what makes us amazing! :hugs
PM me if you want to, hun.
resless_me 02-21-2008, 08:21 PM yeah, im in that same boat as well... i totally feel for you!! Dh will be gone and as of right now none of my family can fly to germany...so not only will i be delivering my baby with no support system, I'll be thousands of miles away from everyone i know... but hey, the way i see it, if anyone can do it, a military wife can, eh?
Corenn 02-21-2008, 08:35 PM Thanks soo much ladies!!!!!!! i really appreciate all the support!!! got me all teary eyed!!
USMC ISSUED 02-21-2008, 09:32 PM If i could be there with you I would be .... ( hugs )

Nope they sure won't....they HAVE to have him they say...he's one of the main people...probably because they're shop is undermaned..i mean we're transfering to shore duty during cruise and at first he wasn't even suppose to go but now they're keeping him for as long as they can(5 months)...assholes!!!!
