I went yesterday to the doctor for my 28 week check up, done actually at 27 weeks. Everything with the baby and I are fine. The doctor told me that she would schedule my glucose test for three weeks from yesterday. I explained that we were pcsing and leaving on the first or second of October. She then asks where we are going, so as I have done for the past four or five visits told her we were moving to Alaska. She told me that I needed to get my records and I acknowledged that I did and then she asked me where I would be getting my pregnancy care. I told her that I assumed I would be getting it at the hospital on base. Then she explained that I had to call or go by the Tricare office and find out if the hospital on base actually did pregnancy care or if they sent women to an outside provider. If they provide care I will be able to pick up my records and carry them with me, if I’m being sent off base I will have to have my records photocopied. We came home and I called the Tricare office. I explained to the woman that answered the phone what I needed to know, and after about five minutes of being told the computer system was shutting down and that she couldn’t get that information for me, I asked if it would be easier for me just to call the hospital and ask them. She agreed and gave me the number. I called the hospital and explained to the person that answered the phone that my baby is due in December, we are pcsing to their base, and I needed to know if they provided pregnancy care or if they sent you to an off base provider. A moment of silence and then the question, “Ma’am, are you pregnant?” Hello…did I not say my baby was due in December???? Anyway, after a minute she says, well I don’t know if we provide that kind of care or not, let me connect you to the women’s clinic. I stayed on the line and the phone at the women’s clinic rang twenty times before I finally hung up. I decided that if they have a women’s clinic, they probably provide pregnancy care, hubby agreed, so now I just have to go to the hospital here and get my records so I can see a doctor in Alaska. Oh, and the doctor that I see here, told me two visits ago that the base we are going to has a brand new hospital, so our baby would be born in a brand new facility. Yesterday she told me she didn’t know anything about the base we are moving to so she didn’t know about the care provided. Can I just scream now??
