    Hi! I'm new here!

    Hi, I'm so glad I found this site! My DH just started medical school today. I'm so excited for him but I'm also terrified of everything that is ahead of us. We have been married for 2 and a half years and during that time my DH has been working as a high school teacher so that I could finish up my Master's degree. Well, I graduated in April and now here we are in a new state and it's his turn to go to school! Right now I'm busy trying to find a job and get everything unpacked but I'm so terrified that when I'm not so busy I'll have time to really think about what we are going through and then freak out!

    I would welcome any advice on how to make it through med school and how to support my DH because I know he's going to be under tremendous stress! Thanks!

    Good luck to everyone in whatever stage they are in!

        Welcome My husband just started his 3rd year of med school, so it's nice to have some more med school wives on

        My bit of advice is, don't look too far ahead in his journey. I just found this site about a month ago and I immediately started reading everything I could find and a lot depressed me more than encouraged me. Just all the horror stories of long hours and tired/stressed hubbies...it was a lot to take all at once.

        My experience with the first two years was that it wasn't as bad as I had expected it to be (not that it's like that for everyone) but most of the time we'd be able to spend a good part of the evening together, unless it was the week before an exam, then I'd kept my distance. You definitely have to become more self-reliant.

        3rd year is clinicals and it's a whole 'nother ball game...just when I got used to his school schedule, 3rd year started and things got VERY different. So I'm in still learning how to be flexible and expect the unexpected.

        Anywho. Feel free to ask any questions
