6th c-section, 13 weeks and uninsured

I am at least 13 weeks pregnant with what will be my 6th c-section (none of it planned. I WAS done at 5:) and due to circumstances, I am uninsured. This means I have gone these 3 months still without being seen by a professional. I am in the process of getting insured thru the state (unfortunately) but it could still be a few weeks until that goes thru. Does anyone know if I should be worried? Will i have difficulty finding a dr who will take me when Im this far along? The whole situation has gone wrong at so many turns and I am getting very worried.

I'm 36, baby number 5, section number 2 and I saw no docs for 16 weeks. It was worrying, I had 9 weeks of sickness, body rejected pre natal vits. I just kept myself hydrated, ate lil often, looked after myself until the pros stepped in.

We've done this before so I think that's why we worry, we know what's possible. We have wisdom on the good n bad. Listen to your body, trust your instincts, I hope help is available soon. X x

Deep breathes honey.  I don't think it should be too much of a problem finding a Dr. to take you.  Lot's of women don't see an OB for the first time until 20 weeks or so.  Maybe make some calls now explaining the situation?  

As for the 6th c section, it is what it is, and it will be ok.  Can you go to a walk in clinic or something now just to at least get some preliminary health care?  Are there any free clinics in your area?

I don't see why a Dr wouldn't take you. Lots of people don't get prenatal care until later in pregnancy for one reason or another. You've been preg before so you know how to care for yourself and take vitamins so I'm sure all is well.
