I'm 23 weeks with no ob

Hi please don't judge me I'm 39years old and 23weeks pregnant. This will be my 3rd child I have a 17 and a 8 year old boys,I found out that I wad pregnant at 10 weeks. I lost my job and my insurance so I went to the hospital to get proof that I'm pregnant and the referred me to a Dr office still with no insurance paying out of my pocket. The Dr. Checked my gave me what I needed to get assistants with medical then referred me to an OBGYN after all of theses weeks waiting to get in to this Dr office they called and told me I was to far along to see me that I needed to find anthor Dr. I told them I was so far along because the set my appointment so far away. Its thur fault. I take my prenatal vitamins. I eat healthy but I need a Dr. Now I'm stuck I have called 5 different Dr. Office's and no one will see me. What should I do ant advice. I was so excited I thought I was getting my ultrasound. And start being monitored. I'm crushed.

Good luck and enjoy your pregnancy, baby and you will be ok ;)

I'm so glad you've found a Dr now...what a lot of stress to go through, though! I live in a country where maternity care from positive test to 6 weeks postnatal is free...women here don't know how lucky we are.
