FINALLY got the referral

I finally got the referral in the mail today. Unfortunately we got the Naval Hospital which we really didn't want. Any of you ladies done your prenatal care there and given birth there? It would be awesome if you could share your experience with me. Good and bad.

    I had mine at a Naval Hospital...not the one at NC though. All I know is this...military care on base sucks. Sure, there are the few and far between nurses/dr's who are great. But My hubs has been in for 7 years, so I've seen A LOT of military medical care and ALL of it was terrible. I highly recommend going off base.

    Ugh I know!! I have only heard bad things about it and I am terrified. I don't know what to do to be able to go off base. I know where I want to go but I don't know how to make it happen. I just know that I cannot go on base.

    I'm sorry that you didn't get where you wanted. :( I would try to call around and see if you can get any answers as to how to get one off base. Best of luck!!

    I am a doula of 4 years here at CLJ. I also work as a CNA in L&D at OMH. In my honest opinion, I love both facilities. My only complaint about Naval is you don't as much of a choice in who your provider is, but there's very few people I don't like there. To sum it up, I will be delivering at Naval when the day comes, even though I love where I work now at OMG.

    I don't know where you are or which Naval Hospital you're going to, but two of my friends just had their babies at Bethesda Naval Hospital... and had great care and a good experience. Another friend is due in about 2wks and she's had no complaints other than her drive is 30min there (however she CAN deliver closer to her house at any hospital that takes Tricare, there's like 5 right around her).

    I hope you have a good experience =)

    I have a good feeling about it. They were great when I called for my appointment so I have high hopes.
