My first was on military. 29 palms marine corps base. Honestly my best experience.  Every hospital and every town/city has its horror stories... its scary. No hospital is perfect and no doc is.... try to not stress on it. Blessings.

I am 16.5 weeks pregnant and due to give birth at Womack at Ft.Bragg. I feel EVERYONE has an opinion about EVERYTHING and negative ones will always be expressed more...I wouldn't stress out about it and concentrate on growing and delivering a healthy baby/pregnancy.

This is my first pregnancy being married to my husband who's in the military. I was so scared as well but they sent me off post bc it's my 4th csection and they won't take the risk that comes along with it. I have several friends though that have delivered on post. It's not so bad, but I believe ours has a nicu. What duty station are you at? I'm at Campbell
