In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Marilyn who shares two birth and postpartum stories while serving as an Active Duty Marine. Both of Marilyn’s births took place at Military Treatment Facilities, one overseas in Japan and one stateside, and both were inductions due to preeclampsia. Marilyn shares about some of the unique challenges that service members face during the perinatal period, including juggling the mental load of motherhood and mission readiness, the expectations around returning to physical fitness, and the stigmas surrounding pregnancy and postpartum realities while on active duty.
