Where do you live? In the US you can get medical assistance while pregnant in just about every state. Call your county department of human services or the health department.
You don't need to go to a hospital - you need to go to see an OB-GYN or a midwife at a clinic. No, they won't yell at you because you have not received prenatal care yet. They understand that there are reasons why you might not have gone.
It is very important you get regular care while pregnant, and it is never too late to start. If you are planning on putting your baby up for adoption, you could call your local Planned Parenthood for some referrals to adoption agencies that can help you.
When was your last period? How pregnant do you think you are? Usually you would feel baby kick around 4-5 months.

Wow, I hope I cover everything....Okay...
1) Sorry about your grandfather. I know how time consuming it is to deal with a relative very ill like that.
2) When was the first day of your last period? This will tell you how far along you are and your due date. Add a week to that date and then subtract 3 months. If you email it to me, I can help you with it.
3) Go to Planned Parenthood...they can assist you with getting free medical help and adoption information. Thank you for choosing life!
4) You feel the baby kick sometime between 16-20 weeks...it doesn't sound like you're that far along.
5) The doctor won't yell at you. It's not their place. They are there to help. But they will probably take a bunch of tests to bring you up to speed.
6) Heartburn is TOTALLY normal! I had it bad. TUMS is the ony thing you're allowed to take, but it works so start taking it.
7) A check up does cost money, but if you're uninsured you can get on Medicaid and they will cover your medical costs. Planned Parenthood will help you with this. Also, some adoption agencies will pay your medical bills as part of their services.
If you are not already taking prenatal vitamins, please start. You need to start taking care of your body and your baby. You can get them at the supermarket or a drug store. They're not that expensive.
Please get started as soon as you can. Here's the Web link to Planned Parenthood. Enter your zip code or state to find a location closest to you, or call the 800 number. They will help you to get started.

It's critical to get a check up. It's important for the health of the baby and for you. Get right in. The doctor can tell you how far along you are and answer all your questions.
Heartburn is normal with pregnancy, but should still be checked out by a doctor.
Go to a county hospital, if nothing else, where they have to treat you whether you can pay or not. GO TODAY!!!
Also, ask about counselors to discuss the options of keeping the baby or putting him/her up for adoption. You need to have all the facts and really do some soul-searching.
Good luck!

You can calculate your pregnancy by counting how many weeks it's been since the 1st day of your last period. Pregnancy, on average, last 40 weeks.
If you are not taking a pre-natal vitamin start taking one NOW. It is very important. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water and eating healthy foods. Heartburn is totally normal during pregnancy.
You should feel the baby kick around 20 weeks.
You MUST go to the doctor. It is EXTREMELY important to get checked on a regular basis while you are pregnant. Check with the planned parenthood in your area. They should be able to provide you with information on where to go to get your check ups and can probably give you adoption information as well.
Please go to the doctor. It is SUPER IMPORTANT. Your state may have some sort of well pregnancy program you can get as well to help with costs. Please go to the doctor. You don't have to go to a hospital, you need an OB/GYN. Please see a doctor.

First off go to www.adopthelp.com . They will cover all your medical expenses!
As for the heart burn. It is very normal and will probably get worse. If you can feel the baby kicking then you are at least 15 to 16 weeks along and it is normal.
And no the doctors can't yell at you. you have been very busy and this is your body and your baby. I would suggest using the website above before you see a doctor, they may have someone they would want you to use.
Thank you for not aborting and choosing to give someone a chance a parenthood.

find a midwife or OB. Heartburn is common during pregnancy. Early on in the 1st trimester you won't be able to feel baby kicking. And the DOCTORS will not yell at you. And of course the check cost a lot of money if you don't have insurance or anything.

First of all, get yourself to an OB/GYN now! You need to have regular prenatal checkups and be on prenatal vitamins. He/she might also be able to put you in touch with an adoption resource. Do you have health insurance? If not, there are still clinics that will see you (some are free) but you NEED prenatal care regardless of the cost.
Heartburn is quite common in pregnancy. You probably won't feel the baby moving before 18 weeks if it's your first, largely because it takes a while to realize what it feels like.

It is possible though it is a very tiny chance. You wouldn't have ovulated until several days after you had sex if your cycle is relatively steady. If you had sex on Sept. 20, any OTC pregnancy test should give you an accurate result. If it is positive obviously you should make a doc appointment. If it is negative, PLEASE start using condoms and/or VCF (which I really like!) More than likely you are having an irregular period due to the stress of worrying if you are pregnant.

The doctors will probably be upset that you haven't come in. They usually like to see you between 10 and 12 weeks. That way they can put you on prenatal vitamins. If you can, go to the closest health department and sign up for a medical card. That will help with the doctor situation and money. Also, they can hook you up with wic. that also helps with money. they give you food and everything like that. and if you are still early, you probably wont feel the baby kick. you normally feel that between 18 and 20 weeks. going to the health department can also help with your adoption thing. if your sure that's what you want!

well it all depends how far along you are... when was your last period?? is this your first pregnancy??
with my first pregnancy i felt the baby move for the first time at about 22 weeks...with this one i started feeling the baby at about 14 weeks....
heartburn is part of the symptoms of pregnancy... if you dont have insurance why dont you try going to some type of clininc that can give help like planned parenthood.. Pregnancy check ups and labor the whole thiong can get kinda pricey...
Go get checked out as soon as possible you should be on prenatal vitamins better if its as soon as you find out...
Good luck!!
