I'm kinda freaking out because I'm 7 weeks pregnant and don't have any health insurance. I live in PA and went to the local Planned Parenthood to confirm my pregnancy hoping they could give me some sort of advice as to what to do next. Needless to say, they had very little info to offer. I read online about a "Healthy Beginnings" program that some hospitals offer and also an OB/GYN clinic nearby but I don't know where to start.
I really want to schedule my first prenatal visit and get an ultrasound as soon as possible. I don't mind paying cash if I have to but money is very tight. Has anyone ever been through this before or have any advice to offer?
Please help if you can, thanks!
Re: No health insurance in PA - any advice???
Thanks for the replies. I paid OOP for an ultrasound at a women's health clinic yesterday just to put my mind at ease. Got to see my baby's heartbeat - it was so exciting! Also got more info. and may try to sign up for medicaid next week. I'm just relieved to know everything's ok so far with our little one.
