sad :'(

I found out today I might be signed up for medical Friday but I could still loose my baby still because it could take several months for my medical card to get here and I need it now :'( I don't want to loose my baby! I'm so stressed over just that and I feel like crying so hard! is there something I can do? I'm 23+ week's

It only takes about two weeks for your card even then you can get the id number and use it because it's automatically active

Hey IM from Bakersfield too and they give you emergency medical right away. Did you go into the welfare department and sign up for it your self? It's not hard. just go in the front window say you need emergency medical. You are over 18 you are an adult you don't need your parents consent.

my parents told me that today and after that I completely freaked out and I was denied at first because my parents refused to sign the paperwork that I moved out before I was pregnant I got them to sign it so they can't claim me or anything plus my address change played a big part in getting them to sign it but now I'm going through he'll getting on any medical

Im sorry you need to research more into neglect as well. Just because you havnt seen a doctor doesnt mean theyll consider it abuse. Y sister has had three child no doctor aappointments besides her midwife to help deliver. She doesnt believe in doctors or equiptment ir even prenatal vitamins and has had beutiful healthy children with good lives. Unless you do drugs or choose a neglectful envirement for your child the state cannot take away your right to choose to see a doctor or not

in a court of law of someone decides to get a hair up their ads or I get an *** hole Dr. they can take my baby away due to neglect to the baby by not seeing a Dr. even if I bring up I applied for it and just didn't get the card to go see a Dr right away they will still count it as a form as abuse

Just because its called emeegwncy meducal doesnt mean literal 'emergency' it simply means you need medical for your baby. And what jojo is talking about is the 100s of county clinics that will see you same day and issue you medical same day. I dont know if this is close to you but KERN COUNTY MEDICAL CLINIC offers this.i just googled that so its not difficult to find one
