hey erykimed,
first i would advise you to actually take a HPT and see if you are or not. if you are then i can offer some advice as far as the whole Marine thing goes. MY husband and i had this exact thing happen. we were still in high school when we had our daughter, but he chse to go into the Marine corps right out of high school. our daughter was only 14mon. at the time. granted he was just like your bf , absolutely wanted to be with me the whole way and help me any way possible, BUT i had to remind him that 1) our daughter was still young enough that him being gone she would be ok and wouldnt really totally understand and 2) if he had stayed with me just to be by my side what in the world would be have done for our future??? him joining the Marine was hard yes but it bettered our future and helped him provide for him family.. boot camp will be the hardest for him most definitely.you just need to encourage him that its for your future and if you are pregnant its for your baby

. he doesnt "need" to be there during the pregancy part if he is going ot boot right now. he will be out and in MOS school by the time your due. or maybe out of it!

let me know how it goes . if you have any other questions im here

we have only been in the USMC for about 2 years but ive been through what your about to experience exactly! love to you and ill be praying!
