title: Childbirth and the Canadian military family.
abstract: Living with a spouse in the military involves a lifestyle with unique stresses. These can become even more difficult when a woman becomes pregnant and her husband has been deployed thousands of miles away. Recognizing that many military families lacked adequate support during their pregnancy, labor and delivery, and postpartum experience, Jeanette McMillan collaborated with the military to establish a program that provides support to these families.
