Whoopsie! It's ok! Prenatal care is soooooo important and I am so glad that you know that enough to ask where to find it. Check with your local health department and welfare office first. If that gets you nowhere go to your local WIC office. They will make sure You stay healthy and may be able to refer you to a clinic. A lot of towns have prenatal clinics where doctors donate their time. They will help you apply for medicaid, and if you don't qualify, they will care for you for free. They do your check ups, tests, ultra sounds, even pay for the hospital stay! Good Luck!

i'm on Badgercare it truly is an coverage application in Wisconsin that promises loose well being care to expectant moms. So truly, that is medicaid. I had to get it because i'm unemployed. My adventure with that is been very reliable. It covers each and every of the expenses of my well being practitioner visits and ultrasounds and although different medical prices i'd have. It also covers the expenses of any drugs i'd choose even as pregnant which includes my prenatal supplementations and my allergies inhalers. i could not ever have sufficient money any of those products on my own, so i'm grateful that a application like it truly is there for me to apply. I quite a lot forgot to point that i'm attending to visit although well being practitioner i opt to, and that i have get authentic of entry to to different astounding hospitals contained in the state. i do not ought to visit a loose health middle or something like that. i don't believe of there truly are any loose clinics interior of three hundred miles of the position I stay.

Medicaid through the government...even if you make too much to qualify, your baby will most likely still be eligible, and while you are carrying the baby you will be covered. This will also last 6 weeks after delivery for you, and continue on for the baby. I don't know you're situation, if you live with someone, single/married, but if you can't afford healthcare you should qualify..it's really easy, just call you local Health and Human Services office.

Go to your local public aid office and apply for a medical card food stamps, and cash assistance. The medical card will help you pay for your medical bills. You should also be able to go to your local health department and you should be able to sign up for W.I.C. This will help get things like milk and some food that you need to eat while your pregnant and after you have your baby W.I.C. Will help with formula, baby food, and juice. Also ask someone at either the health department or public aid if there is anywhere else you can get some help. They might direct you to a service to help get clothes or anything else for your baby. Don't feel bad for doing this. You need help for your baby. Good Luck

The health department is the best place to start...also you need to get WIC...also at the health department...this is to help you buy food so you can eat healthy while pregnant and it will help buy formula when the baby is born or continue to help you with food while you nurse. Also, go to social services and apply for medicaid..this will allow you to go to another doctor of your choice if you do not wish to continue going to the health dept. and it will pay for your hospital bill when you have your baby...as well as any follow up visits for you and it will pay for your baby's doctor visits after she/he is born. Food Stamps may be something you want to go ahead and apply for too. If you are unemployed please get Medicaid, WIC, and food stamps...it will help you and your baby to be healthy! Good luck and congrats!

Planned Parenthood and Pregnancy Resource Centers can help you get the medical care that you and your baby will need, for low price maybe even free insurance. Look for a resource center where you live. I know cause I went to one for baby clothes and they explained to me about the medical, I didnt need it though. I have medical through welfare. You could even try that if you want!

Did you try applying for medicaid? There are tons of free clinics around too. Where do you live? Look for a planned parenthood too, I don't know if it is free, but it is certainly discounted.

apply for MEDICAID. Go to your county health department. They will tell you everything. IT HELPS. You don't pay a penny. And then once your baby is born your baby will be put on Medicaid. No cost for shots or his pediatrician. I would highly suggest this.
