So DH has to go to China during the middle of my pregnancy

Which isn't terrible except that he has to go for 3 weeks! I am really upset about it.  I don't know why, it will be in September during my second trimester, so he won't miss much but still...the idea of him being gone for so long and me being alone and pregnant scares me to death.  My mom has already offered to stay with me during that time and I think I will take her up on that.  I know it's not DH's fault, his work needs him to go, but every time I think about it it puts me close to tears.  Stupid hormones!! Thanks for letting me vent! :(

    Wow, 3 weeks is a long time! Even in the 2nd tri, it's not much fun to be alone, especially for that long. DH went on a man weekend a few weeks back and one of the wives came to stay with me. We had fun and the weekend passed so much more quickly than if I was alone. I vote your mom stays with you!

    I can totally relate.  Even before my pg, DH would have to go to Asia for 3 weeks and I would be so sad. During my pg, when he left for his week long trips out of the country, I would just bawl!  I couldn't understand why I was so upset, but I was.  Definitely get someone to keep you company, it will help alot.

    DH is actually traveling right now.  He leaves at 4:30 a.m. Monday mornings and returns Friday evenings.  He has been doing this since the very beginning when we found out.  His family lives in Taiwan so he usually visits a couple of times a year.  I have talked him into waiting until I can go with the babies...maybe next summer.  it stinks when they are away.  He says he is trying to get everything taken care of now so that he is home towards the middle and end...and of course whenthey are born...but it totally stinks.  I completely understand.

    We can hang out!  My DH has to go (has to go - hah!) to the south of France for ~2 weeks in late September.  I'm not worried about him being gone so much as I am INSANELY jealous :)

    FWIW, DH is out of town now and I'm actually enjoying some alone time.  Come September you may be ready for some too.

    GL!

    I'm sorry - that sucks. My DH had to go away for less time than that, I wasn't pregnant, and it was still very, very hard.
