Jess...
I think it would be wise to go see a doc
asap because a lot can happen during early
pregnancy, which is critical!
If u are waiting for ur insurance, then
maybe u should check how much u have to
pay without insurance for at least one
visit to the doc and decide if u wanna go
ahead and go without insurance and pay by
urself or ur bf.
I am concerned that if u have bad morning
sickness, the baby might not be getting
enough nutritions. So u should go see a
doc pretty soon.
Good luck

I've heard that doctors are most important
in the beginning stages of pregnancy. I
think it'd be smart to see a doctor pretty
darn quick!

Hi, good-luck with your pregnancy!
Usually if there are no adverse signs, ie
bleeding. Bad cramping or other, a first
appt. Is set at the 8 week mark, to do
blood work and discuss options and family
history ect. Due to your age they might
want you to come in sooner, though you say
you are 8 weeks now so I would make an
appt. Soon. There are alot of options
for you besides insur. Alot of
orginaztions that will give you prenatel
care free of charge, and community
hospitals will help anyone in need. The
health of your baby is the most important
thing, so even if you wait a little while
longer, make sure you are eating healthy,
taking some sort of vitamin, (prenatel
type) ( you can find these without a
prescription at any pharemacy). And stop
taking any medications or drugs that are
not prescribed by your doctor, including
alchohol. If you are taking
antidepressants or anxiety medication, do
not quit cold turkey untill you talk with
your doctor, as the side effects could be
worse for you than the prescription
itself. Stay well and treat your body
kindly, remimber there is a little angel
in there counting on you!

Well I have been pregnant twice and both
times when I called the doctor they
schedule you for an apoinment at 11 weeks
old, which is when they will do an
ultrasound. You do need to call though
to get on prenatal vitamins if your not
already. But don't worry about how you
havent seen one yet because they will have
you come in when you are 11 weeks
pregnant. I've checked with many doctors
on this, and apparatly this how they do it
now. But when you do call have a
pharmacy phone number ready to where they
can call in a prescription for you.
