19-6-2009 - Starting to freak out!

My mood while writing this blog: Worried

---

Okay so in one of my previous blogs I mentioned my husbands deployment got moved up and that he will be some of the first trackers into Afghanistan. Well... now its looking like he will be advanced party and leaving mid September.
Im so worried about going into labor. My family is 3000 miles away. I have a few really good friends here(4) but one works full time, 2 are pregnant either just as far a long as I am or will have had their baby right around then, and the other already has 2 kids of her own. Im not worried about myself, Im worried about my daughter. I cant stand the thought of not being near her. My mom has already said she will fly out here, and that's great cause then she will stay with calli and then leave her with a sitter in the afternoon and come help me at the hospital.
This all just really sucks. My husband is leaving in early July for a month to do some training near Palm Springs and then will get back early August. Then he'll most likely be home for about a month, maybe less, and he's off to Afghanistan. I know I will get through this and am not worried anymore about having two kids on my own, just the thought of going through this delivery alone. I dont feel comfortable having anyone but my husband with me during delivery.
So if anyone has any good tips on how to get this baby out at 37 weeks I would love to hear them!!! Thank you all for reading my rant. It feels good to get some of this out. I havent told anyone how I feel just because I know my mom will worry and it will make my husband feel terrible. I know he wants to be here so badly. The thought of something happening to him overthere and never knowing his son and having his daughter not remember him makes him really upset, and of course leaving me to deal with this all by myself.
I guess I really need to get a jumpstart on finding a REALLY good babysitter.

My best friend was in the same situation. They induced her at 37 weeks, so that her husband would be there. He deployed a week later.

I've always heard that if you drink some red wine and have a little "fun" it will help kick-start things...
Whatever happens I wish you both the best of luck!!

I would ask to be induced. If there's no risk to the baby they can generally do it for you in such situations.
