In today’s episode, I’m speaking Hannah who is Active Duty in the Navy as an ER nurse. Her first birth took place at the MTF where she worked, and it was a very long experience which ended with a forceps delivery resulting in a birth injury that took nearly a year to be resolved. Her second experience was totally different, and ended up being an accidental unassisted homebirth, which she describes as an amazing and empowering experience. We talk about the importance of self advocacy and doing everything you can to be informed about your choices when preparing for birth. Follow along with Military Birth Talk: Instagram: @militarybirthtalk Facebook: Military Birth Resource Network & Postpartum Coalition Submit your birth story! forms.gle/3TT7FyV1QQV3RZGc8

67. Navy ER Nurse Hannah Talks Hospital Delivery with Birth Injury Followed by Empowering Accidental Unassisted Homebirth

Military Birth Talk features birth stories from service members, spouses, veterans, and providers, all told through the unique lens of birthing in the military.&nbsp; Birth is a profound, unforgettable experience leaving a lifelong imprint on our hearts. For military families and service members, giving birth and parenting in our community presents its own unique, challenging, and empowering realities--giving birth alone or in a foreign country, navigating Tricare during miscarriage or infertility obstacles, or being on Active Duty without the option to birth outside of the hospital are just a few of the realities we may face. By sharing our stories, we hope to increase transparency and information for fellow military families, providers, and policy makers. Tune in each Thursday for a new episode. Military Birth Talk is a project of the Military Birth Resource Network and Postpartum Coalition. To learn more, please visit www.MBRNPC.org.
