whole sleepless thing.. But im really
concerned.. My husband left.. Left for

expected is I keep crying.. He's not gone

scared I can hurt my baby by crying to
much.. And being alittle upset.. Im
nervous.. Will I hurt my baby??? Does

Hi meggan! You are under stress but
like you said, he will be back and you are
pregnant and your hormones are kicking in.
I am not a dr but some pregnant females
do lose a couple of lbs. You should
probably got to the dr and let him/her
know what is going on, you know that you
need to start eating and taking care of
yourself and the baby-to-be and I do not
want to sound like I am preaching to you
because you know what you need to do but
maybe your dr can recommend you something
like at gnc or at these health food stores
they have these weight on drink mixes or
mood stabilizer meds that you can take but
I am not sure about taking them while you
are pregnant, that is my concern but
possibly the dr might have those answers
but to let you know that we are here for
you too! How far along are you?
Take care!
All the best!
Hope to be hearing from you soon!
Maybe someone else here has some better
answers for you also!
Hey, i'm sorry to hear about your
situation, it must be difficult for you.
I know what you're going through, i've
lost quite a bit of weight recently and I
struggle emotionally as my boyfriend lives
far away and I only see him about once a
month. I told my midwife about the amount
I cry and how stressful I find it, and she
said not to worry too much, most of it is
just hormones working overtime.
Make sure you eat well and look after your
body, and try to relax.. Spend time with
friends, and do stuff you enjoy.. Your
body will produce happy hormones and the
baby will benefit from it. Take care of
yourself.. I hope you feel better soon =)

Do you have friends, family to go see?
Get out, go window shopping. Just keep
your mind busy and before you know it your
hubby will be home.
All the best!

Thanks.. Yea its really hard.. I made
two friends so far here and well they
really arent the type of people that make
me happy.. They tend to be more lazy and
well not exciting.. I like them but I
wish they would get out more and want to
do more.. Anyhow as far as my family they
are all back on the east coast.. I have
no one here on the west coast.. The
hardest part is I have no contact what so
ever with my husband while he is out on
the sub.. So that is really getting to
me.. Two months without him.. It feels
like he is gone.. Who knows.. Anyhow
thanks for the advice.. Im going to
contact my doctor soon.. Its hard to when
its military care.. Thanks ttyl

Meggan im hearing you, my husband is
navy(medic) and I know whats its like to
be pregnant and not have them there
somedays are hard and some arent but you
miss them all the same. I have two kids
now and hes leaving for 6 months next
janruary so ill be feeling like a single
mommy for awhile.
All I can honestly say is enjoy your time
while being alone once a kid comes along
they play abit of havoc on a marriage and
can cause a few good arguments or just a
feeling of weirdness having an additional
member to the family...
I lost alot of weight with my son and
actually was told to gain weight lost a
total of 17lbs with the first two
trimesters and they think because of that
I had problems with my pregnancy all they
told me to do was go nuts eat for double
and eat more sweets lol bad idea I cant
loose that weight now..

Thanks.. I really cant stop the upset..
Im so exhausted and cannot sleep for
anything.. I really am at a loss.. Thank
you though for the advice.. I think once
I get back into the swing of things it
will be better.. I cant wait for our

help me to feel more secure about being a
mother once the baby is born.. Again
thanks!
