Pregnant and moving - OCONUS (Over Seas)

Ok so apparently my life is just not allowed to be easy.
I am 7 weeks pregnant (Oct 16) and we leave in Jan. More specifically Jan 4th. And I know that several people have said tricare will pay for midwives, which is good because that is what I have always used, but how do you go about finding them because the PCP site said that there were not any in the area. Which I know is not right. Anybody out there know how this process works?

You are coming to Lakenheath/Mildenhall right? One of my friends is pregnant, due in December, and uses an English midwife that she loves! I can find out how she went about finding the one she is using if you want me to?

I would just search for midwives in the area and find out if they accept tricare or if they would be willing to get into the tricare network.
