where do you live if you don't mind me asking? Every state is different but I know our er in oregon has to give you a doctor for follow up and they have to see you. Then after you see the doctor you are considered an existing patient and then they have to see you. Something to check into.

The er can't turn u down Medicaid should front the bill I saw your previous post if your pain is as you describe it is a definite reason to go asap. While there have them refer you to someone who could help you. Please sweetheart do yourself a favor and do what is nessesary for you and that baby and try not to delay your self any longer.  Its been a long time since I have been on medicaid myself but the conditions you describe sound extreme and by may 16  and you say by lmp you are 32 weeks you could be in labor and delivery by then stranger things have happended. Demand care now that is all i can say. Good luck honey and take care.
