I am a divorced mother of a 6 year old that I was able to have through invitro. I could never get pregnant w/in 10 years of unprotective sex with my ex. I have been with someone who is my fiance for 2 years and got pregnant. I work for an employer who does not offer insurance but the self insurance I do have, maternity benefits was just an option. An infertile person age 35 does not even think of buying maternity insurance yet use birth control! C'mon, miracales happen but when 2 fertility doctors tell you that your tubes are scarred and your eggs are not quality to be fertilized on their own, maternity insurance is a universe away...i am 20 weeks and have been paying out of my ass for the appts. I don't qualify for medicaid because I make way too much. I've even contemplated cutting my hours just to get medicaid but I'm just not sure. My fiance as well works for a small family based business that he buys his own insurance as well. Am I just SOL w/a $10-15k bill?
