Need advice...

Well ladies its been awhile since I've been in this forum as my daughter will be 1 on the 26th. Today at my doctors I got a bfp...I went to my doctor to discuss birth control. I was not shocked by it as I'm 5 days late for af. However I am stressed and don't know what to do. My kids are 8, 5, and 1 and my oldest 2 have ADHD. We are also living with my uncle because df lost his job last December when I was admitted back to the hospital for an infection on my c-section incision. We don't believe in abortion so that's not an option. I'm just really looking for ladies who have or are going through something similar. With my daughter I had low progesterone and was placed on suppository. I told df I don't want to do that again because if its meant to be then its meant to be plus they are not covered by my insurance and right now we can't afford them. Any and all advice is welcome!

My first two pregnancy everything was great! I was on no extra meds other then iron with my first. Oh my second was born at 33 weeks weighing 5lb 9oz and 18 in but no reason as to why was ever found. I then met my df in 2009 had a missed mc and blighted ovum in 2010. Fell pregnant with my daughter April 2011 and needed progesterone with her. I truly hope I don't need extra meds this go around.

Thank you all for your kind words of support. I know it will be tough but we will not go through with an abortion. Just going to let nature take its course and if I carry to term then great!

I'm not sure about pills or shots. I was only offered the suppository with my last pregnancy.

I'm on Medicaid, well medical here in ca, and have been since 2008. It was not covered before because I had to get them from a compound pharmacy.

You could get on pregnancy medicaid. I did it with my last two pregnancies and then if it is deemed necessary then they should cover it.
