First Prenatal Appt
Posted: 11-27-07 16:17pm

Well it went very well, even though i only have medicaid right now it was more then i expected. They wanted to wait until 17 wesk to give me my ultrasound but they did the doppler and my baby's heartbeat was 150 and they said that was good and all my test came back good so now i go back in a month to be measured

the doctor doesn't care what kind of coverage you have. they get their money either way, so i doubt they'd treat you differently.

glad it went well. if you're into the old wive's tale about heartbeats, it sounds like you're having a boy.

Glad it went well.

And I don't understand the whole medicad thing. Like Bridget it said, they get their money no matter what you have. Why are they treating you differently??

They don't anyone differently. Medicaid is from the government. People who are on medicaid get free and low cost health insurance. It is a program based on your income level and the amount of people in your family.

Glad to hear that your visit went well. Any problems so far with you as far as like cramping, headaches, etc? We haven't heard from you in a while and I was starting to wonder where you went to. Keep us updated Smile Best of luck

In this case though, it isn't such a terrible thing since Kira is getting her own Ultrasound at the end of this month. She can save up the other ultrasound to find out the sex if the other one is too early or the baby is not cooperative.

Eat something sugary before you go in, Kira, so the baby is active.
