ok, so I found out I am four months pregnant. what should I do?

Question

yeah because everytime I went to the hospital (ER) they did every test BUT a pregnancy test

I am 19 and I need to find a way to get prenatal care. I think I am going to go to women's and children's but I don't know if welfare sent me my medical card... I can always go to WIC. I am making an appointment tomorrow.

I got some Kroger prenatal vitamins. I went to the WIC office. I really don't know how far along I am just yet. But hopefully I find out Friday when I go to Women's and Children's for my consultation.

I have WIC and a medical card. I don't know how long I am going to keep getting the medical card because I only applied for emergency assistance.

Answer 1

first of all you need to go apply for medicaid asap. then after you do that you need to make and appointment at a women's clinic that same day. your first prenatle visit they will give you vitamins and may do and altrasound and other test. then after all of that is done. go to the health department and file for WIC. if you need any more help let me know i am 41/2 months pregnant tooo. i find out if its a boy or girl on july6. good luck. becareful.

Answer 2

Here's what you should do, Once a month you go to the doctor to see how your doing until the 7 month, when the schedule gets changed to every other week until week 38 when it becomes every week. A certain point in time you have some dirve you to the hospital to delivery the baby.

before that you make sure you do not drink or smoke and keep up with your vitamins.

Enjoy being pregnant. There is no template for it.

Answer 3

Emergency assistance will only help you until you have the baby. If you can, switch it to just straight Medi-cal and you'll get it for a year which will cover your post-partum check-up. I know, Medi-cal is such a *****, but you gotta do what you gotta do. Did you take a pregnancy test at wic? They should've told you from when your last missed period was. Good luck with everything!

Shell (two weeks ago) is right about changing your eating habits.
Your little one(s) will be needing good nourishment while it/they
are growing inside you. You also need Shaklee vitamin/mineral supplements, but you probably can't afford them. They're all natural and would provide BOTH of you with exactly what you need. A nurse on "call-a-nurse" once advised a caller to find someone who sold Shaklee products to help with the caller's child's diarrhea. The stuff must be good if a nurse recommended it.

Answer 5

Congratulation!!! You can go to the Health Dept. and get yourself some prenatal care. Be sure to go somewhere as it's very important during your pregnancy. If you get a Medicaid Card, you'll be able to find you a good OBGYN to go to for your delivery and follow-up care after the baby is born.. Good Luck...

Answer 6

Take your pre natal pills because those pills really comes in handed go get your WIC it's free then get your medicaid card for your doctor visit

Answer 7

Make an appoinment with a doctor right away. Sign up for all government assisted programs. Change your eating habits. Increase you fluid intake. Moderate excerise helps too.

Answer 8

Get started on your prenatal care right away, and make that first appointment to see your doctor or midwife, if you haven't already.

Answer 9

If you have not been to the doctor you need to get to the doctor and get prenatal check up and start on your vitamin.
