Im curious, if you are 27 weeks pregnant, how did you not know that you are pregnant? Have you had no symptoms? Are you not massive and feel it moving about?
Sorry I had to ask im trying to get my head around it, but cannot.

I can think of a few places that will do it for you if you are not more than 26-28 weeks....

Have you considered going to an abortion clinic and having an ultrasound done there? Many abortion clinics offer ultrasounds for fairly cheap. I know one close by me offers ultrasounds for really cheap , if you want to know how far along you are...

Are you at all able to travel?

Http://www.Atlantasurgicenter .Com/
they go to 26 weeks... So if you found out how far along you are, you could easily go here....
Http://www.Feministcenter.Org/
this clinic also goes late....25-26 weeks...

Where are you going for an ultrasound, for your next one...

There are a few clinics that will perform an abortion up to 36 weeks!! But you have to have a doctor say that it is for your health reasons... Which I am sure you can get.

this doctor does abortions up to 36 weeks...
Http://www.Drhern.Com/
so does this doc

my email addy is jun ebugfairycari@aim.Com these clinics go up late, they are in ohio..Maybe you ca get an ultrasound there....
Women's med center (24 weeks lmp)
cleveland - preterm (22 weeks lmp)
columbus - complete healthcare for women
dayton - women's med center (24 weeks lmp)

Most likely they would do a d&e, which is most commonly performed..

As long as she is 26 weeks or less, she can still get an aboriton... But it would be a close call..

No, I honestly did not start to show until about 2 weeks ago. I'm not massive at all, I can show you before and after pics if you like. I'm 6' tall and have always been a little chubby (no exaggeration, no under exaggeration). I had no signs or symptoms, and just started feeling it move about 2 weeks ago. The nurse's only explanation was that it's because my placenta is huge and the baby is very active, but it's been well cushioned, lol.

And as for early induction, because if I continue to carry it to full term, my hips will expand too much, and I could become seriously injured.

I almost wonder if you are actually 26-28 weeks!

I have heard of pro life anti abortion docs telling women that they are later, that way they will not have an abortion.Or they will stall unitl it is too late.

At about 16 weeks, most women will feel some movement, so if you just started to feel movement you may be early..Also er docs don't always know hoe to date pregnancies.

I would say to call an abortion clinic and tell them you need an ultrasound so you can find out how far along you are..

The abortion clinic near my house will do an ultrasound for something like 60-70$

they tell you how far along you are..

I am sure an abortion clinic can get you in...

You can tell em you want an abortion, but your periods are irregular, and you believe you may be later than 12-15 weeks...They should be able to help you =)

What so does america charge for abortions/ultrasounds then??

And as for nurses and doctors lying about how far along you are to prevent abortion, thats just wrong in so many ways.

I don't get that.

Health insurance doesn't always cover abortion, and if you buy your own health insurance you have to pay extra for maternity care.

We do not havew social medicine...

There are perks though..I see a gynecologist without a referral, or anyone I want without a referral =)

Yeah, I find that alot of countries (with america as an exception) offer free health care and other things.. I wish america was like that..But then again in most of those countries the cost of living is extremely high-and it's not exactly low here...

No we do not


you want healthcare? You pay out of pocket if you do not have insurance!

You get cancer, but cannot afford treatment? Doesn't matter..You have to pay, if not, no treatment....

Doctors can refuse to treat you without insurance..

You would end up paying out of pocket....

If you could not absolutely get an abortion, then medicaid would cover a c-section...

If you were only 16-20 weeks you could get an abortion down here for only 600$..If you could travel....

It's not very expensive here...In charlotte
