It is an extremely hard choice to decide to have a baby while your husband is still in prison. Many do it because when he comes home you both will be too old to have children. We want to be a normal married couple and just have kids but now I will be alone throughout the pregnancy and in the delivery room. I will also have to figure out how to afford everything I already take care of and everything I'll need for a baby. I have to take the baby to the prison for visits and that can be crazy, from a long drive to long waits in line, to keeping the baby happy in that visiting room. There is so much that goes through your mind. I am an expert in this area as my husband and I had a baby a little over 2 years ago and though we were very happy there were several things that caused us to feel depressed. I will share the good, the bad and the ugly that comes along with having and raising babies while you husband is in. If you have experience with this please join in the conversation by calling in for this broadcast.
