🇺🇸 TRICARE / First Trimester / First Pregnancy 🤰🏾
Anyone in the military and just found out they are pregnant? I am active duty in the USN. I went in to sick call/aviation medicine to tell them I had a positive and they told me “congrats” 😒 and gave me an OBGYN phone number for our base hospital & sent me on my way. They never even tested to see if I actually WAS indeed pregnant. So I reached out to my corpsman and they sent me back to do a urine test. Until I get confirmation, I’m still on active duty status, still don’t know what’s next, I’m still waiting on the results 3 days later. I called the OBGYN and they were super nice to my surprise and said they’d call back in 4 weeks to schedule an ultra sound. Until then I’m just in limbo. Haven’t told anyone at my command because they are not the nicest people to talk to. And I don’t want to disclose my pregnancy until I’m sure I won’t be around the negative energy at my job. I don’t want that rubbing off on me at all. I’m kind of over TRICARE all together but it’s “free” so I guess I can only complain so much. Anyone out there been through this with TRICARE? Any tips? Thanks! 😊
