  • Pregnancy Partnership: The Testing Dilemma

  • Excluded by the O.B.

  • Can We Know the Sex Before Deployment?

    QUESTION

    Dear Ms Ultrasound,
    I am an expecting mother. I am about 5 weeks along and my husband is getting deployed in January between the 12th and the 15th. I would really like to find out what we are going to be having but I'm not sure how far along I have to be for it and if I will be that far along at the right time. My first day of my last menstrual cycle was September 15th. Can you possibly give me an idea of if I will be able to do this with my husband still here. My estimated due date is June 21st- 24th.

    Thank you,

  • Tristine's Triumph -- Entry One

    It sure is a good day for my husband to get called into work. As soon as he goes to work this morning, I must run to the drug store and pick up an el-cheapo brand home pregnancy test.

  • Sandy's Surprise -- He's Snippy; I'm Hormonal!

    I'm hormonal, but I try REALLY hard not to be a jerk to him. I think he needs to extend me the same courtesy. Usually we would be talking about it, but I am just not in the mood right now. Let him stew and work it out himself. I'm going to bed. Hmph!
