It's so important for the baby to have good medical care, that most states will provide it if you can't afford it.
If you got married, you would probably be able to be added to your boyfriends (or now husbands) medical coverage--that's one reason why guys get married--to take care of their children.

Go to your local Health Dept and check into getting a medical card. If you don't have insurance, you will most likely qualify for one. They are there for people who need medical assistance and have none. I had one with my pregnancy because I was not married, and it was a life saver. It pays for everything 100%. As soon as I had my baby, I gave up the card. I don't know what I would have done w/o it though, I had no insurance, no husband, and not alot of money. Check into it, it would help you out alot. When you're pregnant, you need to go to the Dr. It's so important.

Doubts exist BF's medical willl cover your pregnancy expenses, however, it's worth a try. Also what you can do is tell your parents, they might can be of help....unless you're a teen and are afraid to tell them. This I see a bit of and don't understand.
What: you think you can HIDE you're pregnant? Gets pretty challenging by the 6th month, hon. So they're gonna know, better it'd be sooner than later.
Then there's GOT to be a free clinic somewhere in your area, might want to make some calls there, too.

Go to the Health Department or Social Services. They can set up an appointment for you with a doctor plus get some Medicaid coming in.

Go to a health clinic or health department. Pregnant women get medical cards. Gov. funded health care. Your child should be able to be put on your b/f ins after birth. But for now you need gov. assistance. There is NO shame in it. It is for your baby.

go to your regular doctor or call and they can help your under your own insurance till the babys born then the baby is under your boyfriends. Also if your in the u.s. then get state help title 19 they have things for you all over the place and your doctor should have all the information for you! Good Luck and Enjoy!

Go apply for government medical insurance. In California it's called Medi-Cal

Medicaid? Free local health clinic? Government program? Call the agency for food stamps and ask them what you can do. They should at least be able to tell you what programs you can qualify for.

Three ways to do:
1. If you are citizen please go ahead to apply health card.
2. If you are not citizen just pay money to see the doctor.
3. Get marry with you boy friend and soon you will become a citizen.

Call the hospital and ask to speak with a social worker and ask if they can give you the address of a free clinic that deals with maternity. most know of a few.
