yes yes i didnt know they worked like

you usually have to pay right then
and im suprised they are seeing her
without a parent too. if youre under 18
dont you have to have a guardian with you
at a gyno?
i would love to see some u/s pics if you
have them! |
No. You don't need a guardian for the
doctor. But if you have no health
insurance and are only 16, I'm truly
amazed they'd see you.

She is 16. Chances are, that $250 dollars
was all she had. And she should be using
that to buy a crib and some baby
clothes/diapers.
But, seriously, you need the medicaid. And
to get just one doctor. You've seen 2
different doctors- having just ONE single
doctor will make this go a whole lot
easier. That way, your prescriptions will
be paid for and if you have medicaid, WIC
is just an appointment where you'll get
coupons for peanut butter and milk and
stuff you are going to NEED.
Jason can't be making that much working
part time at Walgreens. You two will need
to save what money you have - and that
$250 could have gone a long way.
But, you'll be happy to know, an
ultrasound would have cost me a lot more
than that. So you kind of did get a *deal*

In Illinois everyone gets hired at
Walgreens. They dont sell alcohol at any
Walgreens around here, so i dont know what
Walgreens you have been going to. And we
dont need a parent to go to a gyno here.
And i payed on the spot, it was like 250$
for it, and they gave me couple of
pictures. But there is no scanner in this
house . But i will try to take picture
with a camera and post them
here. |
ooh which walgreens does he work at? which
part of illinois? i have a friend who
lives in smithville IL

um that can't be right. I have a friend
Elvis who works in Walgreens i think its
either Morton Grove or something along
those lines, he got hired at 16, and so
did my boyfriend. He had to get a working
permit at school. Why are you trying to
disprove me? Why would i lie about my
boufriend's job? I have another friend
Amir who is a manager at walgreens located
in Park Ridge. and i didn't know they sold
alcohol, i just assumed they didn't since
i never seen it there.

Well, I hope you get your medicare and
your parents come around. Two weeks seems
like a really long time, I know. But it
isn't so long to your parents. Maybe you
could write them a letter and send one of
your ultrasound pictures of the baby.
Babies always make grandma & grandpa
melt - they are probably feeling too young
to be called that just yet and they are
shocked.
Get the WIC. Keep taking your vitamins.
Finish school and stop ice skating when
you are pregnant. Everything will turn out
OK.
