In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Amber who was active duty in the air force for 4 years, before getting out after the birth of her second child. She had a very challenging first pregnancy with her son, which included a lot of mental health challenges which were really hard to navigate on top of being active duty and living far away from family. The birth didn’t go as planned and ended up in a csection, so it was a challenging period in Amber’s life. Her second birth, also a csection, went much more smoothly, but shortly after retunring from maternity leave Amber was assigned unaccompanied orders overseas, and she ultimately decided to separate as a result.
