SirenaBlusera agony auntI'm so sorry to hear about your baby.

I know how frightened you must be, but I think it would help to have someone to talk to... maybe a military pastor or priest could help you. They want to help people with their problems and they know first-hand what goes on in the military.

You have to be strong for him, and keep in touch with him. Never take anyone for granted, and never pass up the chance to tell someone you love them... even if he were home, sadly, no one is guaranteed a tomorrow... your boyfriend will probably be fine.

I think that it's the unknown that's terrifying... the more informed about the situation, the more at ease you will feel.

I am very sorry about your baby, but I think that now isn't a good time to try for one. You are 17, and have your whole life to have a baby, and there's not a lot of stability in your lives now. Are you in school, or college? When you are married, and finished with your education, you will be in a position to give the baby everything it deserves.

Good luck :)
