I just found out im pregnant. I don't know how far i am but i can't go to a doctor cause of money. what to do?

Question

I have no money, really. and i pretty much can't go to a doctor because of transportation and money. I live with my boyfriend and his parents cause i have no where else to go. I heard recently that my boyfriend's father had told someone if i got pregnant he would send me back home, where i have like nowhere to go. The only way for me to stay here would be abortion. but i am strongly against it. I am starting to show a lil now, what else can i do? I don't know how far i am because i can't remember my last period but i know it has been at least 2 months. I don't know it cause i have been too stressed with different things going on. Is there another way to find how far i am?

I have taken 2 home pregnancy tests they have both had one clear line and one faint one...and two line means prenant so that is why i am saying im prenant, I have a job my boyfriend jost got a job orientation to go to today.

and yes my boyfriend does know. but all he really says is that it's my decision and i need to hurry and decide...but he suggests the abortion...but would never push it...i had to push him for his opion for that.

and as for telling my mom. she don't care she left my dad, me and the other 8 of my siblings for her new boyfriend. and my dad is busy tryin to deal with the recent death of his brother and his mom. both from some kind of cancer.

if it may help any of you to help me, i live in new iberia, louisiana

Answer 1

First take a home pregnancy test, if it is positive Buy prenatal vitamins at a drugstore. Take them every day, Also try to eat healthy and avoid foods that contain the l-bacteria that causes infections in the uterus(soft cheese and deli meat are two culprits.) Also get plenty of rest.

Since you have posted you took 2 tests that produced positive results go ahead and get the prenatal vitamins. To find out how far along you are you must know the date of your last period, go to a due date calculator(u can google search) put in the date and it will let you know. I have to tell you though, it is extremely important that you do see a doctor, the prenatal vitamins are a plus, but you need to save money for a visit. The doctor will listen to heartbeat, measure your stomach, moniter any problems. If you do not qualify for any type of assistance or do not have healthcare, sometimes doctors will take a hardship amount, you just have to ask. While some have said to go to the county health dept, they are very limited in their practices and you need to see an obgyn. hope this helps & good luck.

Answer 2

If you don't remember when you had your last period then the only way to tell is by an ultrasound.

Have you talked to your boyfriend about this? Do you have a job? Does your boyfriend have a job?

You can't just ignore it - it won't go away.

Edit: It doesn't sound like your boyfriend is being very supportive - one way or the other. How old are you? If you can't afford medical care now how are you going to be able to afford a baby? Planned parenthood or some clinics are less expensive. You can try going to one of them for help. They can talk to you about different programs.

You really need to get your boyfriend to help you with this decision. It's his baby too and it can't be left up to you alone.

Answer 3

good day i'm not superstitious so can not propose on that stuff. in spite of the shown fact that, I ought to declare I quite have never heard of something going incorrect with a mom or toddler collectively as pregnant via having intercourse. don't have self belief what you examine. do not even have self belief any of this in case you do not want to. You do sound very disturbing and that's amazingly frequent particularly to your first and of direction you do not want something to pass incorrect and want each and every thing to pass merely ideal. So through this my suggestion is visit a GP earlier than twenty 8th...day after today, or greater ideal nonetheless, on the instant if plausible to be reassured via a expert and to have all your questions spoke back. do not pay attention to any pessimistic perspectives expressed right here!! Congratulations and robust success with your being pregnant, start and motherhood.

Answer 4

Sorry you are in this situation but you need to go see a doctor. Check out some free clinics in your area. Most cities have women's clinics that provide free care. Get out the yellow pages and start looking. You need pre-natal care asap. Maybe try calling your local welfare office and try and get on government health insurance. A lot of states provide WIC, which is Women Infant Children, providing you with means to get healthy food and help. Please do the right thing for your unborn baby and get some care. Good luck hun. Just know that you are not alone!

YA KNOW WHAT "BEAUTIFULIRISHGIRL"...Ya I'm sick of paying too but the only who who suffers in the end is THE CHILD!!! Obviously that is no concern of yours because you don't have CHILDREN!!! If these programs were not available to people in need think of how many kids would be growing up in unsafe unhealthly environments with no food or shelter?? It's not the child's fault, they didn't ask to be born so why let them suffer? The parents are the irresponsible ones here not the children. They shouldn't have to pay for their parents mistakes. Geeze you are ignorant!

Answer 5

Like everyone else said.. go to the Health Department. First, they will give you a free pregnancy test. Then, they will give you paperwork to fill out for Medical Assistance. If you don't have a job, you are guaranteed to be approved. Just don't write down anyone else as being in your household, providing you support. You will receive a card within a few weeks and then you might have the choice to choose an HMO (just like with regular insurance). Medical Assistance provides transportation for those who need it, whether it be a van that picks you up, cab fare, etc. Just make sure you go to the Health Dept!

Also, if you go to Social Services, they can find you a shelter to stay at if they do actually kick you out and you have nowhere to go.

Answer 6

Oh hun I'm so sorry this has happened. First of all I don't really think they would kick you out if your carrying their grandchild, and if they do, I certainly wouldn't allow them the opportunity to be around that miracle in your life.
You need to go apply for medicaid (all they do is confirm the pregnancy with a pregnancy test), then they will sign you up for medical treatment. Then, apply for food stamps (since you said you have little $$ this should NOT be a problem).
Next, try to find a job with descent pay and contact HUD for housing options (this varies from state to state).
Hopefully your boyfrind is willing to either stand up to his parents and help raise your child. If not, try for Child Support too, but my suggestion is no matter if he does or doesn;t pay NEVER hold that baby over his head.
My husband's ex does, and it will only lead to resentment by the child later in life..Trust me!
I wish the best for you, and don't worry about not having any place to go..if your baby is more important then you must do what you need to do

Answer 7

Go to Planned Parenthood. Some of the clinics offer free or low cost prenatal care. At least take prenatal vitamins. You could qualify for medicade, so your doctor visits and hospital stay are covered. Check with your local WIC (Women, Infant, Children's office). They provide vouchers for dairy, cereal, juice, etc, and when baby is born they will add vouchers for formula if you decide not to breastfeed. There is a lot of help out there.

Answer 8

I think the main concern now should be what you're going to do with your baby, since you have decided that you're against abortion(me too!). Maybe you can talk to your boyfriend? Or get some of your girl friends to help. And about you not having a place to go to, maybe the social service would be good. Anyway, wish you and your baby well.

Answer 9

I don't know where you are, but try doing an internet search for free clinics in your area. You and your baby need to be under the care of a doctor, so figure something out. You can also try visiting your church (or just a local one if you aren't a member anywhere) and talking to them- they probably have a list of resources and won't encourage you to abort the baby if you don't want to. Good luck!

Answer 10

You need to look up a local planned parenthood office (they not only provide birth control) or an emergency pregnancy center, will help you find a doctor-

You will probably qualify for medcaid. If you let us know what state you are in maybe one of us could help you find some resources. Why don't you have a job?
