beforehand he tried making me feel guilty by saying hes going to have to be stationed somewhere else bc hes being stationed in the secret service or whatever in d.c...keep in mind this is his first year of being a marine, will keep him from doing it. he also tried saying he wont get paid for 9 months bc of the baby, and he tried saying he may have to sit around for awhile, and then be shipped off to afghanistan.

is this true? what will happen tmr when he tells people above him he got me pregnant(were not getting married) will they scream at him? will the follow up on my doc appointments or follow me? he told me they went back to his hometown and checked up on his friends and his family to see what he was about. is this true?

    1. I think you are driving the poor BA$TARD crazy.

    I wouldn't tell you what is going on with my military career either.

    2. You are only listening PART way. You have no concrete data for us to help you.

    3. He had a security clearance background check when they went to his hometown and checked up on him.

    4. IMO You aren't getting married but you want to destroy his budding career because he won't cowtow to your demands.

    5. If you are drinking and pregnant, you risk FETAL Alcohol Syndrome.

    I imagine, you want money.

    Too bad, many of us want more children and can't have them.

    Fetal alcohol syndrome (FAS) is a disorder that can occur to the embryo when a pregnant woman ingests alcohol during pregnancy. It is unknown whether amount, frequency or timing of alcohol consumption during pregnancy causes a difference in degree of damage done to the fetus. Thus, although prenatal alcohol exposure does not automatically result in FAS, the current recommendation of the US Surgeon General is not to drink at all during pregnancy.

    Fetal alcohol exposure is the leading known cause of mental retardation in the Western world. In the United States the FAS prevalence rate is estimated to be between 0.2 and 2.0 cases per 1,000 live births, comparable to or higher than other developmental disabilities such as Down syndrome or spina bifida. The lifetime medical and social costs of each child with FAS are estimated to be as high as US$800,000.

    You'd damn well BETTER NOT drink while you're pregnant. Or smoke, toke, shoot, snort or huff ANYTHING. Any mom who does that to their unborn child for the sake of their own pitiful vanity deserves neither the child nor ANY respect. Does life suck that much? Don't pass that on to your unborn child; God knows I see enough of that everyday, and more so nowadays, even without the alcohol or drugs.

    Your priorities are screwed up.......Your concern should be for the baby.... You say he is you " EX " act like it..... You deal with YOUR problems and let him deal with his (if any......)

    The impact (if any....) on his life is NOT your concern.......and there are no "do overs".....

    Personally I do not feel it will have any adverse impact on his military life..... but so what if it does.....what can you do about it.....IT WILL HAVE A HUGE IMPACT ON YOUR LIFE.......THE BABY'S LIFE.... start preparing for the baby......get some legal and medical advice...... he needs to step up and take responsibility......declare the child his and get finance to send a support allotment.....

    What you are discussing now is OLD news..... things you should have discussed BEFORE you got sweaty.....
