I am currently six weeks pregnant, and I am already stressing about all the things that i will have to do alone, well maybe not alone, but without him! this has already been a little bit of a roller coaster ride, but I am just wondering how everyone else seems to have made it through this.
First off let me just say that I am 21 and enrolled in college, I am going to graduate this december, and I am pretty excited about it. I have never really been around anyone that has been pregnant, so I have no idea what to expect. all I know right now, is that I am pretty much just eating crackers and sprite for breakfast and lunch.
According to the baby center due date calculator I am due in the beginning of December, and my fiance is coming home in October, so we will have like two months together, that is if he gets back when he is supposed to, but I am basically just scared. So if anyone has any suggestions for me about anything that I might be goig through soon, with the pregnancy and all, could you just let me know. I am definitely new at this and have no idea. Plus also any tips of trying to keep the fiance as involved as possible would be great too. Thanks! :D

I was in the EXACT same situation, except I was married. My husband deployed a week after we found out and came home about 1.5 months before he was born. In that time I also had to single-handedly move us from WA to San Diego, but I made it!

I know how you're feeling and it sucks... but if I were you, I would focus on your baby and yourself, do some light exercise, eat healthy, go for walks. Then throw yourself headfirst into the nursery! That will definitely help pass the time. So will filling out baby books and shopping too! :teehee

I signed Ryan up for babycenter too, and then he got weekly emails about what my body was going through and the changes the baby was going through too, so that helped a lot!

Just take it one day at a time! If you ever want to PM me, feel free! :goodvibes
