    I'm due feb 4th.  I have a 2 year old son. DH is home right now but leaves a few weeks after the birthday and will be gone for 6 months. It's also his very first deployment. I am very nervous!!!

    Hang in there!

    Do you have friends or family nearby to help you?

    I havent personally gone through this, but I know lots of people who have.  If he waits to take leave, then you can send a message through the red cross once you go into labor.  He probably wont make it back before the birth, but he will be able to be there within days, and will get a full 2 weeks with you.  That will be considered his leave.  My friend just did this, not too long ago. He made it back about 12 hours after she was born.

    I'm due at the end of February and I have to go back to the States alone to deliver. If DH's leave gets approved (that "if" is becoming bigger everyday due to stuff going on here) he *might* make it for the birth, but otherwise I'm on my own from ~33 weeks when I have to fly back until we get LO's passport and visa to come back, probably ~May. 

     Not the same as having DH deployed, but still sucky. It'll be okay.

    I'm due March 2nd.  We're being stationed in Germany in November and rumor has it DH will deploy a month or two after baby is born.

    I am due Feb 7th & this is also our first baby. He will be home for the birth, but there is talk of deployment coming up again in March. Alaska has a stupid year off, year on deployment schedule. :/

    I hope that things change & he stays home. You'll be in my prayers. *hugs*

    Me!-- Almost! lol. I'm due at the end of January:) So sorry to hear that. It can be hard being alone, let alone pregnant. My hubby has to leave for a few months right after baby is born. Wish I could help more, but I'm kinda new at this whole "military wife and mama" thing. If you need anything, don't hesitate to ask! :)

    Good luck! Hope things go well.

    DH is waiting on his sec clearance answer and then sits for the OCS board.  I'm due 2/5.  Which means DH will most likely be gone :(

    Dh is currently "deployed" but he is stationed stateside for the deployment. So luckily he will be home for the birth of our first child, due 2/27/11!

    I'm due 2/8. DH should be here unless he goes to MMRB and they decide to send him to school or move us.
