Worried!!!

Hello! I am 15 weeks along in my first pregnancy and am getting quite worried! I am still waiting for my insurance to process and it is taking forever! I went to a Christian clinic at 9 weeks and they did a free ultrasound and she said the baby looked very healthy but I haven't been able to get a doctor since then. Everyone keeps worrying me saying I'm too far along to have not seen a doctor yet. I have been trying but this insurance thing is becoming quite frustrating. I am worried about the heath of my baby! I want to make sure I'm doing everything I can in the meantime. Help please!

I applied for medicaid as soon as i found out too and it took about 2 months to get a confirmation with the card... In the meantime, the local pregnancy center told me i could make payments each appointment then i got reimbursed completely once i got on medicaid

I applied for Medicaid as soon as I found out at 6 weeks I got the confirmation letter about a week later but it took months to get the actual card myy ob/gyn let mee just bring in the paper saying I was approved and accepted mee. Turned out they didnt have myy apartment number Thaat's why I never got the card. Just call them and ask them whaat's taking so long. It could be something so simple.

Keep calling about the insurance. Sometimes they take their time but if you keep calling it may help.

I am in Arizona. I went to check for a OB and they said they could see me but the copay would be ridiculous. I am still under my dads insurance but it doesnt cover my prenatal care ao I had to apply for ACCHS. I think it's taking even longer cause of the government shut down but I'm hoping it speeds up now.

You will be fine as long as you eat healthy take vitamins and drink plenty water. I was about 16 weeks when I went to my first appointment and my baby was growing healthy.
