frustrated with no due date

I still haven't had my first appointment. Sometimes I really dislike having to use military bases. Every time they have different rules and stupid classes you have to take before your first appointment. With my first they made me take a nutrition class that was filled with kids half my age, for my second they made me wait until I was 15 weeks, this time they are making me have a genetics counseling even though I have done it three times now and my other two are perfectly healthy.

I don't even mind waiting for appointments since the first couple they never did much. I just want the peace of mind having a due date and knowing how many babies I am carrying, and that they have heartbeats. Why can't they do that before all the stupid genetics crap?

That's why we have Standard and not Prime.

Or pick your own primary care provider. I am a spouse.  I don't use base providers for anything.  I go to private doctors and will have my baby off post. You have that option. I hate the on post shuffle of seeing a different doc or nurse each visit. Look into it please.

You can't be seen off base like at a VA facility?
