Military Birth Talk
Military Birth Talk features birth stories from service members, spouses, veterans, and providers, all told through the unique lens of birthing in the military. Birth is a profound, unforgettable experience leaving a lifelong imprint on our hearts. For military families and service members, giving birth and parenting in our community presents its own unique, challenging, and empowering realities--giving birth alone or in a foreign country, navigating Tricare during miscarriage or infertility obstacles, or being on Active Duty without the option to birth outside of the hospital are just a few of the realities we may face. By sharing our stories, we hope to increase transparency and information for fellow military families, providers, and policy makers. Tune in each Thursday for a new episode.
Military Birth Talk is a project of the Military Birth Resource Network and Postpartum Coalition. To learn more, please visit www.MBRNPC.org.

56. Dual-Mil Navy Couple Tiana and Myer Talk Birth Stories, Family Care Plans, Career Sacrifices, and the "Secret Society" of Fathers in the Navy
In today’s episode, I’m chatting with Myer & Tiana Krah who were both Active Duty in the Navy, and are both now retired. They have four little boys, including a set of twins, so we hear about Tiana’s C-section, then her VBAC, and then the birth of her twins which was also a military hospital VBAC. They talk about navigating deployments, overseas orders, their family care plan, career sacrifices, childcare, and breastfeeding, and then we also talk about fatherhood while on Active Duty and whether or not being a great father is truly celebrated in the Navy.
