help any advice?

So I'm a little Over 8 weeks pregnant and high risk because I had a miscarriage at the beginning of the year . neither my husband's or my job offer insurance and we make to much for pregnancy medicaid. We can't find anything to get or don't know what to do. I work 47 hours a week on my feet all day but can't afford to quit and we can't afford to go to the Dr's without any kind of insurance I called and just to pay out for one visit at the Dr's to get everything done will be almost $3000.
Does anyone have any advice or Help on what we can do?

Check and see if your state offers a HIRSP program.  I was on it for awhile because I didn't make enough to get regular insurance, and too much for Medicaid.  It has a high deductible but would cover a lot of your cost.  Otherwise check the affordable healthcare act online.  Good luck.

Honestly I'd call an insurance company independently. My grandparents faced a similar situation where they are retired, but too young for medicare. They were able to call bluecross blue shield & get awesome insurance for a really good price. Its no more that what they were paying through benefits w/ their jobs

Is there any way you can work a couple short weeks so that your paycheck is lower and turn that in for Medicaid
