Im not sure how ohio is but id  contact ur local dhs & ask them if they can direct u anywhere. Also, i know around here, in iowa, we  have dr offices that are regular dr offices but accept no insurance & all u do is bring in last two check stubs & that  determines ur copay.

I live in WI and they have community care programs.. i would call your hospital and ask if they have anything like this available for you.. its usually based of your income and very affordable!

Crap.

Eligible for Molina in Ohio through the welfare office. You don't have to get any other kind of additional assistance and can sign up for strickly healthcare.

I'm from Ohio and moved to Louisiana with my husband, just to find postpartum women only get healthcare for 6 weeks after delivery. :/

Im having this same problem. Im 12 weeks and cant do to a doc. My husband males about 9000 a month . But we have outragous bills we have 8 children all together and this pregnancy was not planned. Insurance want thousands down cause im already preggo. So im pretty much being forced to have my baby at home. I found a mid wife  that will let me pay her 4 thousand for everything and make payments. I am really scared to have the baby in my room though lol.
