Husband will be deployed when baby is due. Stay put or go home to family?

I'm pregnant with my first child and my husband will be deployed when the baby is due and won't get to meet his child until they are 4 months old. I am going back and forth about the decision to stay here or to move home with my parents when the baby comes. We just moved here and haven't gotten a chance to know people yet and we don't live on base. My biggest concern is to have enough support around me while he is gone.

I would love to hear from anyone else who has been through a similar situation and if you decided or were able to go home to your family, or if you stayed put and had family come out to help for a bit.

Stay put hun ! being a retired military myself an mom of three be leave me traveling with a child is a real pain when they are tiny ! Plus you want to be were your Military benefits are an the company is ! if they need to reach you they need to know were to come ! your family needs to come to you ! this is because if you are in a contract for a home you will be responsible to keep up the home an pay rent on it till he gets back . leaving is not a good Idea ! it would be allot easier for mom to come to you if you live on post an you leave you have to keep up the property while you are gone !

staying with the company is well worth the stay !

I personally couldn't, but if your family is supportive and willing to help, that may be the solution.
