Has anyone else......

[cutieface]

Has anyone else have their partner leave for work some where else half way through their pregnancy?  I find it really emotional that I am almost 25 weeks and he will not be back until I am atleast 35 weeks.  I know it has to do with hormones a lot because he was a truck driver before I got pregnant, and he was gone for months on end. I have gotten so used to him being home for the majority of this pregnancy. Sorry for the little rant, just wondering if anyone has any advice. Thank you ahead of time.

I'm 24 weeks and my boyfriend leaves a lot through out the year for football :( he's gone now for ota's in St. Louis he'll be back the end of this month till the the middle of July and he'll be gon again till January. I have to hope n pray that he's can get here to see the birth of our first child, so I feel and understand your pain bc it does get lonely at times. But I just try to keep myself busy and we do a lot of face timing lol. Keep your head mama!! :) be strong and positive for you , your baby and family .

Sure have when I was pregnant with my daughter he left when I was about 24 weeks and I had to be induced at 34 weeks because of preeclampsia and he was in Texas he made it home but I was in labor when he was driving home good thing I didn't deliver until he got there

Omg I feel the same way except hubby deives but works grave yard I don't see him but un the morning for like 1 hr and on the weekends oh and on Wednesday.  I find it hard because I'm alone at nights with my 5 year old son. I used to cry at nights but now I'm doing better.  I'm just scared when it's time to deliver this baby and his not home. Good luck and hopefully everything goes well for you :)

Thank you for the advice. I am just so used to him being home and my family lives over 2500 miles aways. His family lives where we do but do not really show any interest in anything to do with me or my pregnancy even though I have with him for over 14 years. So I feel like I will be all alone because I don't really have friends outside of work. So I just feel like I will be all alone.

My partner works offshore and he has been away a lot during this pregnancy that is him just home now from being away a month hopefully that's him home until baby is here

Mine is not gone for long stretches of time he leaves for  Week at a time usually twice to three times a month.  He traveled 6 weeks back to back after my son was born so we only saw him on the weekend

He ends up missing half my pregnancy

I'm currently 24 weeks and my hubby will be leaving next month to Hawaii for work. He won't be back till beginning of September and my due date is September 21st. Its hard knowing he will be leaving us for the first time, I have 2 other kids and he was here for the entire pregnancy and birth. So it is hard not knowing if he'll make it for birth time. The only that's easing that feeling is my family support and the fact that its a very well paid job and we need that money. Hopefully its just a temporary feeling.

When I was pregnant with our first my husband was living away the whole time we finally sold our house on the day I gave birth and found a house and were able to move back together a month after our son was born. Was a very long and boring pregnancy but had to be done for his training. Made us a stronger family
