Have any of you had you baby on a base? We live on camp Pendleton so I'll be having our baby girl here at the naval hospital. Any advice on what to expect?

[Cyn_henderson]

Oh man I hope that doesn't happen

I had my son at camp pendleton in Oct. I had my own labor room but they were so over booked in the post partum rooms that for the first part of the day I had to share a room until they got discharged. So it was 2 moms and 2 babies. My husband wasn't allowed to stay because there was no room for him until after the other family left.

Lol good thing...cause I haven't been well with crowds lately

I had my son at Camp Pendleton lol. All I have to say is thank god I had an easy labor because the staff there are assholes unless your husband is an officer ofcourse lol

lol I'm serious about taking them a box of candy bars!!! we always did nd they always pay extra attention to you cuz of it haha
my daddy was stationed on north island for twenty years nd works there now as a contractor lol. NMCSD was where I was born. looooooove that hospital.
but yea. you definitely shouldn't have to share a room. we've had 8 babies there nd no one has had to share a room(:

My husband and I are stationed on North Island, and I'm going to give birth in Naval Medical Center San Diego! Glad to know I get my own room :)

[Cyn_henderson]

Oh thank god lol....i didn't know if the rooms were shared or what

[hayang]

all my families babies have been born at Naval Medical Center San Diego. including me(: lol nd it's amazing. take the nurses in the l&d a box of candy bars. just saying. you usually get a whole room to yourself for birthing and post partem. nd sometimes you'll even get two beds. one for you. one for hubby (:
I'm having my little one at an Army hospital nd I wouldn't have it any other way
