19. Alexa's Navy Birth Story: OCONUS Pregnancy and Birth with Supportive Military Community

In today’s episode, I’m joined by Alexa who shares her experience of pregnancy, birth, and postpartum while stationed overseas in Japan. Alexa served 7 years in the Navy as a Hospital Corpsman and is now a Navy spouse. She talks about receiving support from a fertility clinic out in town and then experiencing a miscarriage at 12 weeks. She then shares about her subsequent pregnancy and birth, and highlights many of the ways that her military affiliation helped her have a positive and supported birth and postpartum experience.Follow along with Military Birth Talk:Instagram: @militarybirthtalkFacebook: Military Birth Resource Network & Postpartum CoalitionSubmit your birth story!forms.gle/3TT7FyV1QQV3RZGc8
