Well if this is your first child your chances are good most womens first are late not all but most.But either way just be happy the baby wont be old enough to miss him, my son is 4 and he misses his daddy sooo much and that makes it even worse.

Hi and I agree with the last post maybe u will be late, lets just pray for that because I know how bad you want your man to be by yourside. I am saying that because my man wasnt here when I had our son and he is still in prison. Each day is a different feeling trust me but I will keep u in my prayers that everything comes out fine. If you need to talk u can email me back here or my primary email, membrenoclaudia@yahoo.com just one thing be strong for your baby and for yourself and man....

I know how you feel, I am 7 months pregnant with me and my husbands first child and he has been in prison for a month and a half. He could be home in as little as 9 months but if they deny him when he goes to his parole hearing which he thinks they will then it will be another year before he has another parole hearing. I know how hard it is being pregnant while your man is gone, it's not a good feeling and very overwhelming. I really hope that he is out by the time you deliver because I know that is the part I am most scared about, having our daughter all by myself. I will keep you in my prayers, if you need to talk hit me up, I am in the same situation.

I was 3 months pregnant when my boyfriend went to prision on a 3 year stay. He has been denied parole already, our daughter will be 1 next month. It has been a very long hard road for me. I was never able to have children I have been through many fertility treatments in my life and at 40 gave up. I meet my boyfriend again, yes we dated when I was very young. We meet again when I was almost 41 he did get into some trouble before we met and that is why he is in prision now. I found out I was pregnant just after I turned 42 and within 3 months he was off to prision. Being an older woman it was and still is very hard on me but I am trying to make the best of it for our daughter. He will be out in 2011 when she is 3 years old. I can't wait for her to spend time with her dad I show her pictures and she will point out her dad everytime. My sister and his sister have been my rocks through it all. I wish they would just let him come home to be with his family.Thanks for listening...

I was alone and pregnant too. I had my son four months ago and his father is still in jail. it is so hard trying to hold it together each day. He's so far away and its hard to go and see him on a regular basic. He doesn't seem to understand that it is just me and I have to take care of home and the bills. Oh I miss him and can't wait until he gets out. Hope its not a year from now because I want him to be there for our baby's first birthday.

i know how you feel, last time i was pregnant, with out first child, my husband was in jail and i was afraid that he would not get out in time. and yet again, over the same issue he is locked up again and i dont know if he will be here for his daughters 1st birthday, or the birth of our 2nd child. his out date, with good behavior, is a good 4 months before, but he has court coming up here in the next few days and im not sure if they are going to give him more time or not. i know the worry that you feel as i was there about 10 months ago. but i will tell you something. if you worry about it too much, you will make it true, i was worried that i would have a difficult labor with my daughter and that she would be early and come on a date that i dreaded her being born on, and low and behold, that is just what happened. just have faith that everything will be okay, and if it be God's will, it will turn out just fine. and remember, he is having all the same fears that you are, and he wants to be there for you, dont ever hold it against him that he wasnt there for your pregnancy, or if he, heaven forbid, isnt there for the birth. because i can guarantee you that he is feeling terrible enough and that he will spend the next 18 years trying to make up for it. you just worry about yourself and that baby and put everything else in the hands of the Lord. He'll take care of it. and remember that just because it doesnt happen the way that you want, doesnt mean that He wasnt looking out for you, He just knows something that you dont.

I am in the same situation....I know how you feel, I am almost 4 months pregnant with me and my husbands first child. He has been in prison for a month and a half it feels a lot longer than that!!!! We had just gotton married a month before we went in. Im feeling very sad and sick. I really had hope that he would of been out by the time I deliver because Im scard to be in labor alone. He will get out when the baby is 4 1/2 months old. I guess its not that bad that is only gone a year because it could of been worse. im new to this whole prison thing i guess its poss that he could not get out when hes was told im reading others and it sounds like that. The whole parole thing ???
