I'm an Army wife, DH is in MI. We're in the process of being stationed overseas. We won't really have a hospital, they use a clinic with midwives - can you believe tricare would ever approve this?! I'm a little worried about not having drug options, there is a MTF a few hours away so I heard that it can be arranged to deliver there but it would probably mean being induced. I'm curious to get out there so I can find out more about my options with prenatal care, labor, and delivery.

I have heard really good things about over seas care my dad was delivered over seas... now that has been 43 years but still ha ha. I would take it as a good things because a lot of people want to deliver with a midwife!

I delivered with a midwife.. and it didn't turn out too well.. I wish I would've choose a dr... But not all midwifes are the same!

 

[familyready]

really? I am shocked to hear that not doubtful though, I have always heard better things. But I am sorry, I know that it is hard! And hopefully things turn out better!!!

 

[ann89]

Well I wouldn't judge every midwive just off my experience..

But I'm not even allowed to go to a midwive again.. since my past with HELLP syndrome. Well at least they won't take me here, because I'm high risk. But I would never go back to them anyways.

I was born overseas in a MTF and my mom had a horrible experience, but so much has changed since then. My DH has had contact with some people over there already and a lot of the wives have told him that they'd love to tell me about their experiences, so I know that I'll be educated on my options when the time comes. It's all just a bit scarey at the moment.

My cousin recently had two kids overseas and she loved her experience. (she was in Germany). I think it all depends on where you go but I would love to be overseas. We are hoping our next assignment will land us there but we have another year in the Springs before they move us.

We're also hoping to go overseas!
