Hi all,

My husband is on a long TDY for training across the country (technically a PCS for how long the training is). He is retraining I happened to get pregnant right before he left. I stayed behind to work at my job for a couple more months. I was supposed to fly there next month to be with him. I’m on the west coast and he’s in the south.

Today, I found out I have placenta previa and I cannot fly because of it. Driving isn’t an option bc the training will be over when I’m 34w and I am not driving 25 hours back heavily pregnant.

I am devastated he is going to miss almost my entire pregnancy and possibly birth. I don’t know how to cope and I’m a mess. This baby is a miracle as I have two infertility conditions and I was told I would never have children. This will likely be our one and only baby. It’s times like this where I hate being a military spouse. Any advice is appreciated.

Hello all! I am in my 2nd trimester and thinking of my birth. I have tricare select but will have tricare reserve select at the time of my baby’s birth. I am considering doing an elective c-section. I have severe anxiety and feelings of panic when it comes to childbirth and some previous medical trauma due to having stage 3 endometriosis. My doctor is 100% on board with the plan but says insurance may not cover it since it’s considered elective. Any success getting elective c-sections covered?
