Anyone's husbands always away for work?
My husband works in the oilfields and he's always gone. He works the majority of the month so I only see him 9-10 days a month. I didn't realize how hard this would be without him. I have a two year old and being pregnant and alone at home is hard. It's only gonna get harder when the new baby comes. Ugh I'm so stressing out on how I'm going to handle everything. Anybody else feel the same way???
Paternity leave How long are your husbands or SO getting off for paternity leave? My husband is only getting 1 week off. Then he leaves again. He works in the oilfields so he's always gone. I'm so upset it can't be longer. I'm more than likely having another c-section so it's going to be hard recovering plus handling a newborn and two year old. Makes me sad ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else? I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
some of the stuff I see on here, like rooms, beds, houses, etc is disgusting! you claim you're a sahm and your husband works hard, then help him out and let him come home to a clean house, bed, sheets, etc🤷🏻 ♀
Ugh I love being pregnant but I'm always so freaking angry! I rage out so hard😒 I'm always stressed and i just feel like I'm in this alone 😑
3 month old bleeding monthly So I have no clue if this is normal or if I should be worried. Of course I am a little worried anyways but my 3 month old baby girl has had pink blood in her diaper atleast one day each month. It's like a little pink streak. I know her bleeding that first month is normal but every month? It's like she has a mini period/spotting. I would call her doctor but the only working phone we own is my husbands and he's at work. This is the 3rd month it's happened and I'm a little worried. Any advice or information would be appreciated. She doesn't seem fussy or like she's hurting. Her little breasts have are swollen again too (they feel like a little hard lump)

My husband is in the Marine Corps. and is currently deployed so I get it. We have a 2 yr old and a 4 yr old and I'm just about 15 weeks along. It's never easy but you learn to deal and once you get a routine down it's not so bad. Some days are easier than others, that's for sure lol

And he was also gone for 10 months in 2012 when I was pregnant with our 2nd son. And didn't come home till he was 4 months old.

Mine is complicated. He comes home every night so he's not away but depending on the season he's gone by 6am and comes home between 7 pm (not busy season) to 1 am (busy season) during harvest my children don't see him for 4 weeks at a time unless I take dinner out to the field. Also he stays gone every other night during his parents lambing while I do our lambing so we NEVER see each other from February til the end of March. Also there is no such thing as weekends off for us.

My husband is gone from 6am until 10:30pm Mon/Tue/Thur/Fri so the kids see him Wednesdays and the weekends. I find it really hard and draining on the whole family. Just fixing dinner and doing homework with my oldest as well as ballet classes and every other errand...it usually all happens when he is gone. Wednesdays we try to go to the chiropractor or whatever other appointments we have, visiting family, taking the kids to the park as a family etc etc...I try to have all the errands and cleaning done so we have those days free. My kids are 6, 3 and 1. It's hard but routine helps!

My husband is in the military so trainings range from a few weeks to months. This pregnancy has made me miss him all the time and emotional I'm just praying that he doesn't deploy before my due date. I started making my own sort of journal on my laptop in which I write to him as if I'm talking to him and it has helped me. I hope that helps a little makes me feel less lonely.
