Pregnancy and Parenthood 3.1

What is the Pregnancy & Parenthood Mobile Application?

The Pregnancy & Parenthood application, now updated for 2022, serves as a valuable resource for Sailors navigating the journey of starting or expanding their families within the Navy. Designed to provide essential guidance, it caters not only to Sailors but also to their command leadership and supervisors. The app encompasses a comprehensive range of Navy regulations, including insights on assignments, retention, separation processes, and leave policies.

Sailors are empowered to effectively balance family life with a successful career in the Navy when equipped with a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities—both individually and within the command structure. The application streamlines this effort by consolidating crucial regulations, instructions, and references from diverse sources into one user-friendly platform.

By fostering comprehension of the personal and professional obligations that come with parenthood in the Navy, the app acts as a bridge between servicemembers and their duties. Tailored information is also available for command leadership and supervisors, guiding them on best practices, setting appropriate expectations, and outlining necessary steps when engaging with Sailors experiencing parenthood journeys.

The application organizes its content under the following sections:

• Pregnancy Guidelines, Limitations, and Responsibilities: Addresses workplace assignments, medical considerations, pregnancy loss, abortion processes, alongside medical, physical, and ergonomic constraints during pregnancy. It also highlights ongoing responsibilities such as physical readiness standards, guidelines on maternity uniforms, and childcare considerations.
• Personnel Management: Offers counsel on assignments during pregnancy, managing complicated or high-risk pregnancies, adoption procedures, service separation protocols, and leave entitlements.
• Healthcare Benefits: Explores healthcare provisions, pregnancy planning assistance, conception advice, breastfeeding support resources, and related healthcare topics.
