I just got married at the end of June. My
husband is in the Coast Guard and is away
on a three month long patrol. He left
almost two weeks ago. We've been trying to
have a baby for about two months now. I
had just gotten off my period before he
left and last weekend, I flew down to
Hawaii because his patrol sent his there
for a couple days.
Anyway, for about a week I have been
waking up between the hours of three and
six AM in a cold sweat, everyday I have a
fever and sometimes I get stomach cramps.
I started spotting a few days after he
left but now it's just the other symptoms.
I'm not sure if I'm pregnant or if it's
just the fact that he's gone. I don't
think it's the latter because I've been
busy and, although I miss him, I'm not
stressed by his absence.
It's to early to take a test, but I just
wanted some advise...
because if I'm pregnant while he's gone,
we can't go to any doctor appointments or
look at ultra sound pictures together. And
most likely, he'll be on a patrol, and
I'll go into labor and they won't let him
come home.
