I'm 32 wks and I just flew 5 states away ALONE w/o my hubby. I'm only going to be gone until friday but I'm stressin out w/o him and w/o being at home in my familiar place where I feel comfortable and where I know Baby and I are safe. I'm on a business trip and am staying w/ hubby's bachelor friends- they're being really nice but I just feel so anxious about it all. How do I stay calm. I don't have much to do to keep my mind off being worried and I'm just so worried of going into labor early, away from home and away from my doctor by MYSELF! Pregnant mommies, help me out here.

I know what thats like. I drove across the country (1700 miles) in the middle of that heat wave last summer. It was 117 outside, we had no air conditioning.
Anyway.
You have to make yourself go around as if you were not pregnant. I mean, before you would have enjoyed a trip, seeing new things hanging out with new people. Obviously youre not going to have a drink or ride a rollercoaster, but you can still enjoy yourself.
For me, i had to sleep a lot and go shopping. lol. Thats what made it easier.
Just find something that you can enjoy to take your mind off the situation. And realize its not forever, you'll be back home shortly. baby NEEDS you to relax.

I know how you feel, though my situation is a bit more extreme. My husband is on deployment in the Persian Gulf and I am also 32 weeks pregnant. Haven't seen my hubby since April and he won't be home till November (baby boy is due at the beginning of October), so its just me and the kitty all alone.
Call him when you can. I find that whenever my hubby gives me a call I cheer up immensely. Maybe give him a call each evening before you go to bed and have him "tuck you in" by telling you goodnight and that he loves you. That way you'll drift off in a (hopefully) good and comforted mood.
Just take it one day at a time. Trust me, you can survive the week without him. Just take a deep breath whenever you find yourself getting anxious and remind yourself that you'll be back home with him soon. Its good that you're staying with friends, so let them help you out. And hey, maybe you'll hear some good funny stories of your hubby from back in his bachelor days! Always fun to get stuff to tease him about later. Just relax and you'll be fine.
Best of luck to you!!!

Sweety you need to relax. Just breathe seriously do some deep breathing. Then close your eyes and use you imagination to think about happy things anything that makes you happy, think about it. sing a song, listen to music. food eat some icecream yum. eat cookies and stuff watch tv. And remember your baby can feel what you feel that should be enough alone for you to want to relax hun. Good luck i wish you the best.
