DH was deployed to Iraq, came home May 16th. I was ovulating the 17th and voila--we concieved. But to IDIOTS that are literally questioning my faithfulness, this child couldn't be DHs because he's only been home 4w3d and I am 6w2d pregnant. Really? Really?! I see a paternity test in my future!! SOOOOO ANGRY!!!!!!!!
Vent over, thanks!!

Re: Really irritated. I should have known.
First of all, welcome home to your DH, as a Canadian I would like to thank him not just for what he does for his country, but for the world and our way of life.
Second of all, the people questioning you are idiots.
Thank you so much! He is very proud to be in the military and I absolutely love being an Air Force wife. :-)

People are idiots. But I also blame the medical community who decided to start counting pregnancy from the last menstrual period. How misleading, and completely inaccurate for so many women!
Welcome home to your husband! How long is he back for?
Amen, sista! Ha ha. I have always thought that! He is home for good from Iraq. Leaves in September for a nine week training in Mississippi, I think. And then leaves again the first week in February (I'm due the 7th!) for seven months to Texas. It is going to totally suck. I may possibly get to go with him though, no idea yet!

Just proof that people are idiots and don't understand how pregnancy works. Don't give in to a having a paternity test done! how ridiculous...
Enjoy having your DH home!
When they say something just look at them like "Oh, Crap you figured it out!" and then say "please don't tell my husband, he's really bad at math and hasn't figured it out yet!!".
Then you and your husband can laugh about it later.
I wish I had the guts to say something like that. That's great.

I'm sorry that people are reacting that way. Clearly, they don't understand the 'complicated' calculation.
If it were me, I just wouldn't tell them I'm 6w2d or whatever and just say "oh I'm due in Feb 2012."
Leave it at that. It's none of their business whether you're 4w, 5w or 6w or even 12 wks.
+ 9/3/11, due May 2012. overdue baby born healthy!
+ 8/3/15, natural m/c @ 5wks
+ 1/4/16, due 9/14/16
Emmasue, I just needed to say that I'm sorry about people being complete idiots. I don't know, but I'll guess that it's other "wives" saying this just to drag up drama. It wouldn't be the first or only time people in the military like to bring on the drama. It's like freaking high school around here. It makes me mad that they are treating you this way.
Just know that you guys were super lucky to get PG so fast after deployment and they are jealous and stupid
Welcome home Mr.Emmasue!
