i have a confession.....

karanna · March 2011

Ok, I have been going on gut instinct the last couple weeks. I knew I was pregnant, but was scared to death to get confirmation.... I know its a bad thing to do, but I have been treating myself as if I were pregnant without actually knowing for sure.... well I got a positive hpt today, and now I'm lost.... what's my next step? Do I contact a Dr for confirmation, or do I get to Dhs and fill out insurance and wic paperwork?

Doctor first usually medical insurance through dhs will cover past 3 months nut do everything ASAP to get the ball rolling.

Congrats!

You have to get dr confirmation before you can get medicaid and wic

you have to have a blood testdone cuz that is the only thing dhs will take as proof of positive pregnancy

Go apply for Medicaid they will tell you where you can go to get you free proof of pregnancy. They don't pay everything from the past 3 month I am stuck with a $500 bill because the said the ultrasound wasn't approved. But anyways here I could go to the health department get a free test and temporary pregnancy Medicaid which only covers prenatal care until yours is approved they also provide you with a list of doctors who accept the temporary and full Medicaid.

Yeah go get a positive from the doctor and they will give you paperwork saying you are pregnant some will give you medicaid papers but then go file for medicaid

Ok. Thanks so much, ladies. I'm 30 years old and have zero experience with this. Lol. I don't really have any girlfriends to ask, so the bf and I are a little shellshocked and lost.
