you will NOT be allowed to see him/visit until he graduates. you may get lucky and receive a phone call from him after the Red Cross message about the birth is delivered, but no promises.

Well being that my son served in the Marines,from 1998-2004 at Paris Island,S.C. the answer is yes! u can n if I remember correctly it is after there six or eighth week in boot camp that u can.
And No! id u-r-referring to going with his to were he will be taking the school he signed up for the answer is No! because it is (TAD) and not his permanent duty station now if he will be assigned there permanently that is another story but the military is not going to pay for temporary housing that is something u will have to do if u want to be where he will be during his schooling n that is the bottom line n I am a veteran myself so I do no what I am talking about when it comes to this n have been through this with my wife when I served n she was pregnant as well.
And lets get one thing clear if ur talking about after the baby is born and a couple of days later u can visit him who ever told u that does not know what they r talking about because that is not going to happen I know the military has changed over the years but not like that when it is boot camp training that does not change and u will not be able to see him for at least six to eight weeks no exceptions unless there is a death in the family or one serious emergency that has to be verified by the command n the red Cross i hope this information helps us some what n if it burst ur bubble I am sorry also that was not my intention but u needed to know the true facts not hear say.

Most likely not. The day before graduation is when family members are allowed to visit recruits and on graduation day. At times, he will be allowed to call you on the telephone. Now if you have an immediate emergency and need him, call the Red Cross and they'll work things out with the Command at the MCRD. And if you live near by, you might see him physically at church (if he goes) but you won't be able to interact with him at all. The classes are pretty much off limits to family members.

i know for the navy, civilians were allowed to go to our chapel so some people whos family live close would stop in.
the week you are due he could get a red cross message to come home for emergency leave. one of our girls got emergency leave when her husband was in an accident. they told her if she could be back in less than a week she could continue her training. any more and she had to start over. then again they might not consider a healthy pregnancy with a normal birth an emergency.
with the marines he might have to miss the birth of this child. i know it sucks but this is the life he signed up for. you will learn quickly that you have the hardest job in the corps. he is going to miss a lot of things being in. i know it's not the answer you want but it's how it is.

No visitors and unless there is a life threatening situation with the baby or you, he will not be able to come home. And no, you will not be able to visit him after the baby is born.
If you can go to the church, most chances you will not be able to see him anyway.
You had better get used to him being away. What will you do when he gets deployed. There is no if he is deployed, it is a question of when.

I am sorry to tell you that no recruit is allowed any visitors, not even if your about to have the baby. but if I am wrong let me know but I fully believe that you can't because that wouldn't be fair for the rest of the recruits and as well the family.

The Army doesnt allow visitors until the day prior to graduation, couldn't imagine the Marine Corps being more lenient.

nope, sorry charlie.
whoever told you that info got your hopes up for nothing.
there are chapels on PI for recuits and then the rest of the people. so, you can't even see him in church. sorry!
what i would do is take this a learning lesson for the future.
if you have anymore kids in the future,then plan them around deployments.
you'll be able to see him soon enough. at least he'll be able to be there for most of the baby's first year!
hang in there and hopefully you'll have other support there for you at the birth!
take care:)

you can't visit him. maybe it can be arranged because of your condition (i doubt it), but you will make things difficult for him by visiting before boot camp is over, trust me
