Daniel, you know I am a new subscriber and that I had commented on your VAT video (very helpful, thanks again). But KZitem in its infinite wisdom says that I should watch this video. Now, I am a woman in my mid-40s and I am sure KZitem/Google knows this! Out of ALL of your other videos, KZitem thinks this is the one I should watch, lol. My husband is kind of scared now, rofl.

Are there no more military hospitals in Germany? I was in Germany from March 74 to May 77, and I got pregnant and was 5 months pregnant when we returned stateside. So, I ended up having my baby in a civilian hospital outside of Atlanta, GA. When I got pregnant, I had prenatal care at the OB clinic at the 97th General Hospital. Had we still been in Germany I would have delivered at the labor and delivery unit at the 97th. Unfortunately, the 97th no longer exists and I'm not even sure there is American military still in Frankfurt. The 97th was a full-service hospital. I worked in the Ortho Clinic. We had an orthopedic ward, med-surg ward, peds and peds clinic, psych unit, newborn nursery and special care nursery (in fact our special care nursery was the NICU for the whole European command as was the ortho clinic and ward. If there are others out there with stories or experiences at the 97th I would love to hear about them. Also, my husband was stationed at AFN Frankfurt. Thanks for letting me take a trip down memory lane!

The US military presence in Germany has been drastisticly reduced. There is just a fraction of personal compared to when you served. There is definitely one military hospital, at least it was there when NATO was still fighting in Afghanistan. But it is not unlikely that the US has "out sourced" labour and delivery.

@@ailaya5127 Thanks for the reply. I hope I didn't come across as a know it all but I was very proud to be associated with the 97th. I was not active duty but a dependent wife. My ex-husband was active duty and was stationed at AFN. Is AFN still active?

I would have recommended going to that orientation class on base. At Grafenwöhr there was another couple stationed as civilians who had their kid born as a home birth because they decided to do so. Their channel is "Our Story To Tell". There's also a plethora of immigrant/expats living in Germany who reported on their experiences. Ashton from the channel "Type Ashton", or Aubrie and Donnie from "Passport Two" both had kids here in Germany describing their whole pregnancy, pre-natal checkups and care, insurance coverage, etc. As a German civilian I obviously don't know about the internal handling of insurance, healthcare, etc among military personnel and dependents. But in general what you get as standard care in a German hospital is far superior for mothers than equivalent coverage in the US. Especially when it comes to copays (virtually non-existent in Germany if you are insured with an SHI plan from Germany) vs coverage, costs, co-pays, deductible, or out-of-pocket costs. Edit 1: I don't know if her experience was different from what pregnant women in the German healthcare system have due to having to go through military health insurance. However pregnant women normally get a Mutterpass, a mother's pass which contains ALL the info about the pregnancy. Such as the due date, development during the pregnancy, wishes for epidurals, their preferred hospital, their midwife (which you can get free of charge) and her contact info, allergies, normal medication... The whole nine yards. I don't know if she got that. If not I wonder why because it is part of the normal package in Germany. Maybe it was her in-between position living on base and going through military health services; I can't say for certain, this is just conjecture.

Interesting! I’ve delivered in Italy, Japan, and now headed to Germany (KMC) where I’m due to have a baby in the summer. Maybe you talked about it so I may have missed it since I was multi-tasking while watching but it’s a good point to share and talk about the CRBA process (overseas birth certificate for American children born overseas). :)

Thanks for this. Can you do the same video for GS employees who may get pregnant in Germany. Just curious, watching from the states😂

I would like to suggest a video if possible. Can you do a video for gs employees who may want to relocate to Germany specifically for work and explain the medical and dental coverage they have whether it's on/off base. I'm currently applying for jobs on usajobs in Germany, so this is a question I always have. Here in the states as you may know if I have an emergency I can just get up and go to an urgent care. How is it over there ?🤔 I'm a GS employee but also a Army veteran

I find its very tipical us people talk. Not enough service around them and this made them nervous and anxious. Our System in Germany is totaly diffent and just the cost of giving birth in comparison^^ I often hear thoughts like more service more overall doing for the one person. If you need something call the nurse cant see the point why they need to check you so much. But im a ICU Nurse in Germany too so maybe im a little bit prejudiced.

Sounds like it's better to have a baby in the states😂😂 or a home birth in Germany instead of a hospital. Her experience scares me now lol. I've never had kids so this sounds a tad scary, uncomfortable and just different from the states. Hmmm interesting.

I had a baby stateside and one in Germany. It’s different but both were great experiences. If it makes you feel better : Germany has MUCH lower maternal mortality and infant mortality rates than the US ! So it actually is safer to have a baby over here.
