New military wife pregnant with 3rd

Hey everyone. My hubby of 3 years just reenlisted after doing 8 years army before we were married. We have 2 sons. One just turned 2, one 9 months, and I'm somewhere in my first trimester with our 3rd. Problem is he leaves for training in a month and I have no idea when my due date is. We don't join him until mid august and the latest due date I have is September. Yikes! I'm high risk and don't think the doc will let me travel in third trimester. Any advice? Also, who can I contact in the army to help me out?

    Hey.. u can try to ask ur dr when ur next visit on seeing if they could write a letter to his command to see if he can be on r&r around ur due date.. also my husband told me since he's in the army too that u can contact red cross if anything arises when it gets closer.. I hope this helps

    Wow I know what ur feeling I'm due september 20 but my husband leaves to go to afghanstain september 1 which sucks because there's nothing I can do about trying to keep him home for the birth :( the only thing that might happen is his leave date get pushed back:( but for u since he's only in training u can move to where he is at now.....or if his training spot is different then his duty station u could find that out and move there and wait for him there
