Just need to know it'll be okay...
Hi ya'll! My husband and I are both in the Air Force and stationed on the complete opposite side of the country from our families. We just found out we are expecting!!!! WOOO! YAY! We truly are excited and feel so blessed that this has happened!! But I cannot hide how overwhelmed I am. I am due July 16th. Unfortunately, I've never had good timing. My husband is deploying in the spring and won't be back til early Fall. I'll be in the delivery room with no one by my side. I can't help but tear up at the thought of not having him by my side, and him missing our first baby's birth. Have any of you gone through this?? Also, how do you cope with having a baby, but being so far from your family as far as your parents and what not?

Re: Just need to know it'll be okay...
When I was pregnant with my first my boyfriend had deployment in may and I had our son in july. And he didnt come home until mid October. It was really hard cause I didnt have family around, but what got me through it was the FRG from his ship. Those wives became my family and a few of them were there when I had our son. My family was only 8hrs away but none of us ever had the time to make the trip to see one another. But once I had my son, my parents asked me to move home until my boyfriend came home, that way I would have help since I was a first time mom.
