I have only one ultrasound and I'm 31 weeks ahhh!!

There is no doctor that will take Me. I only fou b day out again week23 I didn't show before I was 23 weeks. I just am flabbergasted that a doc office can deny me medical care. I've done very bad things before knowing I was pregnant and the one ultrasound I had was not informational the tech or w/e she was was Mote worried about my attendance at the previous appointment so I didn't go back!

Call a your medicaid provider and ask them to look up a Dr on your plan and then call the dr to see if they are accepting new patients. Then just keep your appointments.

Try midwives and plan parenthood offices, also ask every office you go to if they know of someone who Will take you.  OB will be wary because you haven't had proper care the entire time so you are a bigger risk but if you show how serious you are about finding somebody they might help you out.

Make sure you're doing everything you can know to keep baby healthy, your prenatal vitamin, eating healthy and staying hydrated.  Eventually you will find someplace to take you. Best of luck!

How is that legal?  Surely they have to take you? They can't deny you and the baby medical care.

I was 14 weeks pregnant for my first appointment. I was homeless for the majority of my pregnancy. I now stay with my mom and just had my 2nd appointment last week at 36 weeks pregnant. It took a lot for me to persuade the doctor to take me. They agreed to see me as long as I didn't miss any appointments and I wasn't late. They mentioned that if I didn't abide by those circumstances that they would no longer be seeing me. I agreed (of course lol). Don't give up searching just yet...even if you have to travel an hour to get a doctor! Someone is bound to take you...just make sure they know that you are serious about showing up. Hope this helps! Good luck!!!
