Mika, they do have it in SD. ??
I didn't like the photographer at all, but it was still nice to have the pictures lol
They also had an older lady who knitted baby hats and booties that came in and gave us a free hat, it was very sweet.
Dr Leininger was my absolute favorite obgyn. If you can get him, you'll never want a different one!
Stationed back in Norfolk now, and nothing compares to Sd! ?
I've had all three of my kids at Portsmouth. First in 2004, last born in 2010, the experiences were different but all good. The nurses were all great and took care of me well. The delivery staff was awesome the last time I was there. I had my own room each time even though it's not guaranteed. They are very well organized. They have a system down for sure. They also have a photographer that takes babies first photos. Not sure if they have that here in San Diego where I'll be having my 4th. I've heard they don't have a Lactation Consultant her in SD but they had one each time I was at Portsmouth. It's worth asking about since they may have changed something. You also picked a good place to live in VaBeach. I used to live out there. I now own a house in Portsmouth but hated the commute to Norfolk everyday. You've got everything close by you, including all the friends you and your hubby will make! No one lived or wants to come visit you in Portsmouth! LOL! Good Luck!
I've been going to the Dam Neck clinic. I'll have my anatomy scan at Portsmouth in a couple of weeks though, not excited about the drive!
Karingforkeenan, what do you think of the OB services out here? I have an appointment for a referral next week. I'm currently 16 weeks.
I'm actually in the process of moving! I'll be up there in a few days and have to start house hunting.
Child support
I'm definitely going to talk to a lawyer as soon as I get settled in Virginia, but does anyone know about how it works if the parents live in different states? Like if he lives in California and I live in Virginia, can I file in California? Especially if the baby was conceived in California.
Anyone in Virginia?!
Military
How many ladies in this group are Active duty (or even Reserves) military? I'm in the Navy, been in for almost 7 years. PCSing to Virginia Beach.
Hubby called to let me know that he leaves for West Virginia may 5 be back may 20
Not in VA Beach but I'm at Belvoir.
