I would head straight for a county clinic. Through work I know almost all the social workers at all the Suffolk clinics and they are awesome and you will get very good care!

The funny thing is, I have insurance starting July 1st.. BUT it takes time to 'update their STUPID records!!!.

So doctors won't take me because they can't 'validate' i have insurance.

Push the insurance company to provide some proof and say that you are pregnant whenever you call. Threaten to call the media. Missing the time from 11-19 weeks, you probably missed some tests that are time sensitive. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

Im pretty sure that you could go to a Planned Parenthood and pay on a sliding scale. I know its not ideal, but its better than having no prenatal care for a long time.
