Answer 1

Thank you to you and your husband. It's a hard time I understand my husband was over sea's a year ago and that was hard. Here is what I did to not be so lonely. I made a scrape book of things we did together while we were dating and engaged. We also rented movies together and watched them when he had off of a mission  It might be hard from him to get a recent movie but they have a MWR on every base so its not impossible for him to get a movie then we would talk about them on Yahoo messanger. We also tryed to do at least one or two web cam chats a week even if it ment I had to get up early in the morning my time It helped.

Answer 4

Hang out with your family and friends.  In Ontario, we have an Early Years center near by, and they are a great resource, see if there's a program like that near you.  Your doctor or midwife will know.  Keep him posted as much as you can, you'll both feel more connected that way.

Answer 5

Stay in touch with him with him as often as possible. Have him leave you messages that you can replay over and over so you feel connected.  Pregnancy is a stressful time even with him there do try to relax as much as possible.  And make sure you take care of that eye problem as best possible.  I am sorry that this is such a rough time for you.
