Among the U.S. armed forces, approximately 20% are women. Of those, about 10% are pregnant at any time.
One of the responsibilities of healthcare providers is to attend to the medical needs of those pregnancies.
But military healthcare providers also may encounter pregnant women among the non-military populations encountered in remote settings. For all these reasons, it is best to have a good working knowledge of obstetrics.
