DH and I live in South Dakota, but he is going to be stationed in San Antonio for several months. After thinking about it, and talking about it with my midwife, I have decided I am going to visit him there in early August. I am due September 16th.
I don't expect there to be any problems, but to be on the safe side, I am researching hospitals in San Antonio. That way, if there is a problem, I know where to go and have some sort of a plan in place. So, I am wondering if any of you have advice or reccomendations on where to go, and where to avoid.
Thanks in advance!
Re: Anyone familier with L&D in San Antonio?
Where is he going to be stationed? Most of the bases in San Antonio are pretty big and have hospitals of their own. Lackland has one and so does Brooks. I'm not sure about the rest of the bases/posts there, but I think some others do as well.
Christus Santa Rosa is the giant civilian hospital in San Antonio. I'm not sure about L&D, but their children's hospital is great.
I work at Santa Rosa and our L&D dept is awesome! I would totally have my future child there if they did circumcisions, other than that they're great! We take Tricare South and Tricare for Life, in the ER but IDK if Tricare Reserve Select would be in network or out of network, I've never had to admit someone with Tricare Reserve...Since you're over 20wks they'll take you straight back to L&D, insurance or not, but I'm not completely sure how your insurance would work, but if it's an emergency I know I wouldn't care about insurance issues I would want my baby taken care of, but since you can kind of plan for an emergency I hope I kind of helped LOL

I don't believe that God ever tells us "no". he has three options. Yes, not right now, or I have something better in mind. We just have to wait & see.
Mom to Madison- 5 and Lillian 2....and now surprise baby #3!
I had two deliveries at Wilford Hall and they were both great. Wilford Hall is closing to L&D in September and it's moving over to BAMC (or SAMMC as it is called now). SAMMC is great, clean, new, and since L&D is new there, I would expect it to be nice. All the staff/residents I know are wonderful. Personally, I wish SAMMC was open to L&D when I delivered, I would have rather gone there!
