Well, why not bring "home" to you? Is there anyone in your family that would be interested in coming to stay with you? Maybe an old friend with kids of her own?
Otherwise, kiddo, it may be hard to be alone - but you need to get in gear and make some support for yourself. Do something fun - get an online buddy system going with family and friends so that you have someone to talk with daily. Post a request for "new friends" at the base. Definitely contact the military version of a welcoming committee (sorry don't know the name of the group) and ask for ideas locally - you may even want to volunteer as well! Take care to support yourself in doing things that you enjoy since hubby's not their to do it for you. Take advantage of a mommy's day out program - they have financial help if you need it on base. Don't worry so much about the baby so much, things will work out as they are supposed to.
Good luck.

If his family is close look to them for help. Will your family or a friend from home come to spend time with you? If not you need to find some one you like like at least a little and can stand to be around to get you thru these hard times.

Wow, sounds tough. I just moved out of Navy housing, my boyfriend got out a couple of weeks ago, Im so glad to not have to be worried about him leaving. I know that there are groups with the military that you can join to meet people. I made freinds with one girl that was 2 doors down from me.
Good luck and crongratulations.

First, place your faith in God and be thankful for your 15 month old....and the one on the way. Second, I know that you can make play dates with your little one at the local YMCA. Stay active in community events...you'll meet friends. Keep your family close by on the phone or email...you can make it...God bless you.

Find a play group for you and your child. There has to be someone that you feel a little close with weither it be long distances or close call and chat with them.

You ask your husband to sit down and talk and tell him that you are getting really stressed out and if you keep getting stressed out it will hurt your baby and tell him you dont want to harm your baby in any shape or form!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Bye!!!!!!!!!
