In today’s episode I’m speaking with Tabitha who shares three birth stories while on Active Duty in the Marine Corps, and one after she got out through the VA. Her first birth was at a military hospital and she discusses the stigmatizing experience she had being pregnant as a junior Marine living in the barracks. The subsequent three births took place out in town, after her third birth, at 6 weeks postpartum, she ended up in the emergency room with multiple organ prolapses. This led to her having to get out of the Marine Corps, so she shares all about that and talks about some of the gaps in pregnancy and postpartum care that she observed and experienced during her time in the service. Here’s my conversation with Tabitha.
