I don't know what to do :(?

I'm 17 years old and 6w2d pregnant and have no insurance. I applied for medicaid when I found out that I was pregnant and haven't recieved anything from them so today I called our DHS office and she said that everything was "pending". I've been using the free clinics in my city for prenatal care but they only do so much. I want to make an appointment with an OB/GYN but I don't have the money to pay them out of pocket. Is there any reason they will deny me medicaid? I do work but I only make $8.50/hr working 25-30 a week. Can I go to the doctor and tell them that I've applied for medicaid? I'm just worried.

I need to know how to cure this.. fast!?

Are prenatal vitamins better then regular vitamins for women?

Prenatal vitamins do provide higher levels of certain vitamins and minerals than your everyday multi-vitamins. They're formulated that way because a woman's body needs those higher levels during pregnancy to provide adequate nutrition for both her and her child. The excess of certain nutrients, like iron, can actually be bad for you. In addition to the multi-vitamin, you should be getting these things in your diet. Just stick with a regular multi-vitamin. It's not worth the extra stress you'll put on your system.

Question about chronic constipation?

I'm a 20-year-old, otherwise healthy female but I have had chronic constipation for my whole life. As a child I was given every laxative you can think of by my pediatrician but they all made me feel worse than not being on them. At different points in time I was on mineral oil, miralax, metamucil powder and wafers, milk of magnesia liquid and chewable form, senekot, and I'm sure I'm leaving something out. All of this was treatment from both my pediatrician and a pediatric GI specialist when I was about 7 or 8. Anyway, I have a bowel movement once, sometimes twice a week and it's always very large, dark, and hard. It's embarrassing but it's too large to even be flushed and has to be broken up first. And even then, it still clogs the toilet fairly often. I drink water constantly and I try to eat extra fiber but fiber only makes me gassy and uncomfortable but does not help with the bowel movements at all. I am slightly overweight so I know it's not a malabsorption issue. My Grandfather had ulcerative colitis and my father has Chrone's Disease and he had colon cancer. Both the opposite of my symptoms. I'm getting frustrated with this. Does anyone have any advice?

Maternity Health Insurance and moving?

Tons of negative test results? could i still be pregnant?

My older sister could not come up positive on a HPT till after she was three moths pregnant, and two weeks ago she gave birth to my beautiful healthy neice! Some women develope the HCG hormone slower then others, or develope the other hormones more then the HCG which could be deluting the tests. If your period doesn't show up here soon make a doctors appt for a blood tests. These seem to be much more accurate with very little fail! Lots of baby dust:)

What kind of padding should I use for my dog's dog house?

So I'm taking a multivitamin at the moment. And I was told I have to take a prenatal for the extra folic acid. Well I bough this thing of chewable prenatal. It says to chew 2 a day. I was thinking sense my multi vitamin has 100% of my folic acid and my prenatal it takes two of them to get 100% of what I need. There is only 60 prenatal so it would last me only 30 days. My question is wouldn't it be the same to take my multivitamin and just one chewable? It would save me money by making them last longer.

Concerned about my wife getting Amniocentesis test (please read)...?

the results are NOT 100%. The only reason you would consider doing the procedure is if you are the type of people that would terminate your child's life because they "might" have a medical condition. Defects of the brain and heart are better determined with the 20 week ultrasound and you have no risk of causing a miscarriage. My OB Doctor here in the US is required to offer the test, but they in no way recommend it because of it's inaccuracy. Your doctor will make a great deal of extra money by doing the test and that is probably the reason he is insisting.

Prenatal vitamins - are they okay?

My cousin just had her baby and she had a ton of them left over that she gave to me. I've heard they're really good for your skin and hair, but is it okay to take them if you're not pregnant?

Before I call, just wondering if it's beneficial or a waste of my time, based on your experiences?

I would probably do two things in this situation. 1) Switch doctors!!!! He is needlessly scaring you and you don't need that!! Given what you have written, no reason yo need to automatically go with a c-section!! Find a doctor who seems to have a better bedside manner and who is more open to options. 2) Go with a midwife as well! They can be a great advocate for you on the delivery room and help you carry through with your wishes! I didn't realize they were covered here though - I think that may be a provincial thing?? What province are you in? Quebec? I believe they have really great policies on alternative care!! Best wishes!

Over a year ago I cut all of the relaXer out of my hair. I wear it in micro-braids. When i re do my hair I wash it and it shrinks up, then i re-braid it.

My husband and I are going to start trying to have a baby spring of next year.

Is there anything else I can do besides eating healthy and exercising?

Are these vitamins okay for my daughter?

If you go to the doctor during the first 24 hours of your flu symptoms they can give you Tamiflu, but that is not an antibiotic. Antibiotics won't do anything for the flu. I wouldn't worry about giving your daughter the vitamins. Your best bet is just to wash your and her hands frequently. She has already been exposed to your flu. She will either get it or not get it. Just make sure you keep yourself and her hydrated.

NO JET LAG PILLS HOW DO I PROPERLY TAKE?

I purchased NO-JET LAG homeopathic jet lag prevention pills because I have a 16 hour non-stop direct flight coming up. Here is the issue. The box states to take one table at take-off and one tablet every 2 hours while flying and finally one after landing. My concern is how it will interrupt my trying to sleep on the plane? My flight is at 5:00pm so ideally I would like to stay awake until about 11:00pm and then try to nap or sleep. So if I were to take NO-JET-LAG chewable tablet, I am just afraid that it may keep me alert for much longer than anticipated as I would like to be able to fall asleep on plane since it is very difficult in itself to sleep on the plane I do not think that taking the tablet would make my situation better somehow??? What would you recommend the best way for me to do this since I would like to sleep on plane would it be better to just take one just during landing??? Let me know, I really would appreciate any advice or answers!!! :-)
