Due Date and PCS Date

laxin31

So my husband is supposed to rotate later this year in Oct out of his current command.  I just found out I am pregnant and the baby will be due in Oct.  

Has anyone been through this experience with moving and giving birth?  Do they help move families early or later?

Hey, sorry for the late response, I've neglected this board for awhile. 

I am in a similar situation (due in July, husband's temp recruiting gig ends in July). The first step would be for your husband to call his branch manager (or enter non-Army equivalent here) to explain the situation and possible get an extension to stay where you guys are for a few months longer. Most ob's don't want their patients moving away until after about 6 weeks (normal recovery time in case you need a c-section) post birth. 

Good luck! I hope your birth and move both go swimmingly!

My husband has been e-mailing his detailer to make minor adjustments where possible, but there's only so much they can do.  I'm hoping we can move early so that I can give birth after we move rather than having him report for duty while I stay behind to give birth.  The timing is honestly pretty rough.
