Question

does anyone else have their babys dad locked away or in the army while being pregnant?

how did you manage to keep sane and with him missing out on everything including the birth? did you feel depressed at all?

my situation is bizarre and he most likely wont be there for the birth, i just found out about a week ago and ive been feeling so down! i dont know what to do anymore i really want him to be here for me and the baby [im 26 weeks pregnant], for him not to miss out on ANYTHING and now he might miss the birth and everything! i try to be happy and usually people cant even tell theres something incredibly wrong, but its so hard, i miss him soooo much!

Answer 1

first, realize that you are not alone in this happen to you.. that there are girls out there that this happens to all the time..  

then make sure to find someone to be with you through your pregnancy dc appt and labor room..  

if you talk to the father and are on good terms with him about the baby, then you can document it for him,  monthly pics of your tummy. and such like that..

Answer 2

My sister's husband was deployed to Iraq shortly after she had her 1st child.  It was hard on her she missed him alot but had to keep strong for my niece.  It was a long hard struggle but she stayed strong and you can too.  Things have a way of working themselves out.  Just try and stay busy so you aren't always focused on your boyfriend being away.
