pregnancy!
my brother was in iraq too
and they only let him come
home when my father past
away but i think you have to
contact red cross and
ask them.

slim to none. the only time he'd be able to come home is if there were major complications..as in you or the baby in serious danger of dying. Otherwise, not going to happen |

not a chance. didn't happen during ww2, Korea, or Vietnam, and it's not gonna happen now. Find a birthing partner (mom, sis, friend) to go w/ you at a moment's notice. And to videotape it all. |

You're most likely out of luck. Happens all the time to folks on deployments. Emergency leave for life-threatening conditions would be an exception.
I'm sorry.

No.
You must remain independent, this means being able to function in his absence. It is very difficult when you have a loved one in the War. You may suffer from fear called Anticipatory Grief. Don't watch TV. I know my words are difficult. Think about how impossible it would be to bring him home for a short period of time, take him away from his fellow warriors, have a baby and then have to return to battle.
It is better for him to finish his rotation in Iraq. When he comes home to you and your new baby he'll be home, until he redeploys.
There is only one thing stronger than an American Marine or Soldier, and that's his wife. His Mom is right up there too!! |

I doubt it. My husband fortunately made it home for our sons birth, but he wasn't allowed to come home early, things just worked out that he was on leave when our boy was born.
I'm having trouble believing this. I read your other questions and a year ago you were planning on getting married, but two months later you were having girlfriend issues. A week ago you were a male, now you are a female. Confusing. |

The only way he will be able to make it for the birth, is if there are serious complications during the pregnancy... If everything is going normal, which hopefully they are, then he will just have to wait to come home to a 2 month old baby.
Oh, and change your avatar.. Having a guy image and you saying you're pregnant, its really disturbing. |

Not good odds, but hey, congrats on the baby. Is it his? |

No he wont be able to come back, if this were true 99.9 % of the soldiers getting depolyed would get a female pregnant just so they can come home early... welcome the military life! |

i am sorry to tell you this but no the only way that he can come home for the birth is if something goes wrong during the birth process and you send a red cross letter |

Many women have had children while their husbands were deployed in Iraq. In none of those cases was the man allowed to come home early solely for the reason of his wife having a child. An exception will not likely be made for you, unfortunately. |

Unless there are serious complications with your pregnancy (basically life or death for you of the baby)..and no one would wish for, suggest or choose that route..your husband will have to remain with his unit until they are due to come back. I know this is not what you would like to hear. No one wants to deliver their child without thier husband being by their side, but it is a fact of life for many military families. The good news is your husband is due back only a few months after the birth...many soldiers have deployed shortly before the baby is due and miss the first year of their child's life. Take care of yourself, find someone you trust to be with you, take photos and video and then share it all, along with your beautiful baby when Daddy comes home. Congratulations! |

your chances are slim to none. There have been THOUSANDS of babies born during this and other wars who's Daddy's either were lucky enough to "see" the birth by satellite, or had to wait to come home to see their new offspring. Though situation, but it's one of the harsh realities of war. Good luck. |

Ok, you have a male avatar and on you're last question you said you where an expecting father, so i'm guessing you both share the same account??
Anyway, sorry to say the chances are slim. Take care. |

Chances are slim to none. You could try and do what my cousin did while he was in Iraq. He is in the Marines, and just happened to have a slow day when his wife went into labor. They somehow got in touch with him and he was able to link up with the room she was in via a satellite phone and listen to his son being born.
Good luck to both of you, and here's hoping for a safe return home. |

If he is in a combat unit, it's unlikely he will get early leave, especially since he's due home in April anyway. You will simply have a beautiful present waiting for him when he returns. |

unless he has a willing command and has r and r he can use probably slim to none. make sure you include him as much as you can, have your or his family there and make sure it's recorded and if you can call him while you are in labor that can work too....congrats and tell your husband i said thanx |

The only way he will be able to come home is if you or the baby have some kind of life threatening condition. My wife and I have 5 kids. She had two while I was in the Army and one while I was in Iraq. I suppose you could lie and say you are depressed or something to that extent, but I don't recommend lying. Anyway hope that helps. |

Extremely unlikely.
I'm sorry, but this does not constitute a " family emergency." I hope get gets home without delay in April. |

He may not be able to come home, emergency leave is usually only granted if there is a death in the immediate family or if it is an emergency. Trying working witht he red cross they may be able to help but I really hate to say this don't get your hopes up to high incase he can not. |

Your husband, most likely, will not be able to come home for the delivery... the needs of the army outweigh childbirth. If I were you, I'd start figuring out who I want with me when I give birth though :) I was lucky to have a group of very close friends, with husbands who were also deployed, so every time I've given birth, its been like a party in my labor and delivery room. |

Call the American Red Cross and talk to a Military Caseworker. They will help him get home for the birth, and their services are free. They work with the military and military families, and intervene in situations like yours all the time. He may only be able to come home for a few days, but they are almost always successful in getting the military person home when it involves a birth or death in the immediate family.
I know this because my Mom is a Military Caseworker for The Red Cross, and has been one for 15 years.
Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy! |

uhmm.. your icon shows a man.. ??? well i dont think he can go back early. |

I can't speak for now but when I was in the Navy (86-95) they did let the Father come home for around a week when we were deployed. Depends on the command and if they can afford to let him go. Do not be surprised if they deny his request, it can happen.
Congratulations and Good luck! |

It depends on your husbands command. I was pregnant when my husband deployed and he was suppose to be back a mo before I was due....then they extended 6 weeks..when the news came the rear-d command said they would talk to the command in IRaq to get the guys with babies due in that 6 weeks home. They said no. And didn't budge...by baby had a heart condition I was high risk and needed and c-section and on top of that was giving birth in a german hospital....I made friends with my POC who's husband was my husbands sgt, and she put a bug in the FRG leaders ear that I really needed my husband home..the FRG leader talked to her husband who was the MAjor in Iraw and got my husband on the first flight home. he made it there 1 day before I went into labor. Now I know thats alot of HE said she said, but the point is get friendly with your frg leader and she can move mountians. The fRG and the unit doesn't want to have to deal with makaing sure that your ok in the hospital while he's deployed if they can get home home quick. )in germany the FRG sgt had to come check in with you at the hospital everyday)...and by the way...the guys start coming home about a month before the date they give for the projected return. Good luck to you and hang in there. I know its really tuff being pregnant while your husband is in Iraq. |
