Pregnancy & Deployment

When David was first scheduled to deploy, we went to a special presentation to help prepare us. In actuality, it broke my heart. I looked around the room at so many obviously pregnant women--young and afraid. Since then I have known many who gave birth without the daddy being around. Sometimes they are not without family, but sometimes they are.

I want to share this information with anyone who is going through this or knows anyone going through this.

Operation Special Delivery is dedicated to providing doula services to women whose husbands are deployed or have been injured in the line of duty. Here in Central Texas, I'd can happily recommend of the doulas who volunteers. Please check out the websites here:
