My husband is in the army, and is always away, without me being able to contact him. He contacts me when gets the chance to. I feel like sometimes he puts his career before me and the baby. I gave up my career for this baby, but he won't scarafice his. We argue a lot about this. I fell like i am going through this by myself, I have no family around and all my friends haven't gone through pregnancy. I am in the army as well, so still have to work. At the end of the day i just want a hug, but he isn't here. I am by myself, The last thing i am annoyed about is having to go out and buy everything on my own, I thought this was meant to be together thing, but i guess i will do it on my own. Any advice to help me through this would be appreciated, because at the moment i am not happ about having this baby.

come on sharonfields, am sori 2 say but u need to grow up a little! its unfortunate your husband is away and yes it must be hard on you being alone but i don't believe it's right for you to want him to give up his carrer just because u are having his baby. Was giving up your career your personal desicion or did he pressure u to do so? Did you conceive this baby with a mutual understanding that he wld hv to give up his career and be there with u fulltime? What if he actually gave up his career and was around all the time but miserable, would that make u happy? at least u know he will come bac home to you. To alot of women on this forum that is not even an option, so u should be thankful and enjoying your pregnancy even though circumstances aren't quite 'perfect'

You are right to feel however you feel, sometimes our lifes circumstances can be very difficult and not work out exactly the way that we want them to. I understand how hard it is to be doing it alone and i hope that you guys are able to find a sort of middle ground where everyone is happy, and don;t worry about the last persons post, she posted on one of mine as well, seeme to me she just enjoys scanning through these and passing judgement lol I hope you are able to work all this out and are able to get excited about your pregnancy, best of luck to you

TiffVano am in no way passin judgement! Am exactly in the same situation that she is in, and this is not at all how i dreamt my first pregnancy would be like. i always thought i wld be with the father of my baby and get terribly spoilt and all that.... Well reality isn't always so kind as we dream but i believe we have to take it in stride and make the best of what life offers us instead of whirling in wat shd be! At the very least i would want sharonfields to be happy about the little life growing within her.
