I don’t know what to do anymore. I’m going to go crazy…?
I’m 37w6d pregnant, and I’m just fed up. I have the most horrible ob/gyn clinic, where I don’t even have a “personal dr”. I have a nurse practitioner that does everything when I come in.. And the nurse is different every time I go. They’re saying I need to go to diabetic dieting classes at the clinic, yet no one’s said a single thing about me being diabetic. I have the worst pre-natal care imaginable. And EVERY single time I’ve been I’ve waited a good 20+ minutes in the waiting room past my appointment time. And I can’t even go in every week since they’re so booked. What the hell? Don’t I deserve to get my prenatal care every week??? I can’t change clinics either because I have Medicaid.. I have depression and I’m irritable, and all of this plus horrible pregnancy discomforts (hip pain, 2-4 hours of sleep a night, etc.) Is making me feel completely unwanted and empty.. I’m so miserable I’ve hardly been out of bed for 2 days.. I just want this baby out and to stop going to that crap clinic.. This turned into more of a rant, but whatever.
Thanks everyone. A ton x
I feel muchh better now, but still crappy at the same time. And yeah, there’s just about no clinics here that take medicaid. It’s awful.. Big city = money hungry 
Northwood, or whatever.. What on Earth are you on about?.. Really… No, I’m not on Welfare? I hardly even know what it is. Booze? Drugs? I’m not even legal to buy cigarettes for myself. Let alone do I smoke or drink-or even WANT to. I never said I did not want my child, because I do. I’m married, believe it or not. And the baby’s father will be around. And no, my SYMPTOMS point to DEPRESSION. Do you know what that is? Go get some common sense please….

Theres actually a lot of different doctors you can go to. Medicaid doesnt just accept clinics. A lot of ob’s accept medicaid. Look into a different doctor and call them and ask if they accept ur insurance. chances are they will. then have your stuff transfered over
It’s okay. I know it must suck, but your almost there. You’ve lasted this long. Just do what you can, that’s all you really can do. If you think there is something that needs imidiate attention go to the ER. I was very misserable to at the end of my pregnancy. I could go on and on about that. I couldn’t do anything and I had to sleep upright in a chair. SUCKED! If you have depression you should speak with a regular doctor about that, your more at risk of having Post partum depression. You don’t want that, but if you do get it, it is treatable.
There were also many times that I had to see a PA instead of the regular doctor. I really didn’t mind to much though, she was good. Just hang in there hun, your on the final stretch!
you should be able to switch clinics, even on medicare. that clinic can’t be the only one that takes your insurance. you have the right to have quality medical care, no matter what.
congrats on your new baby!
girl when i was preg i was on medicaid too and i got the worse treatment in the world, i had an ectopic and after that was pregant again and they really didnt moniter me the way they should have. im sorry your going through this, my last pregnancy ended in a miscarriage 6 weeks before we found out it was a miscarriage. fml. im really sorry, and if where you live is ANYTHING like where i live its impossible to find an ob/gyn that accepts medicaid. sorry hun. good luck with your lil one
keep yourself clean.
your on welfare?
keep your diet clean..NO BOOZE or drugs!
You dont want the baby, why did you spread your legs in the first place.
where is the dad! or was this a one night stand!
your symptoms point to hormonal changes in your body during pregnancy.
your in the arena of having a defective baby, age wise! monogoloid, down syndrome!
if you have a defective baby, you will be stuck with it for the rest of your life. Or give it up for adoption.
if i were you i would file a complaint to the clinic as pregnancy is serious and therefore should be taken seriously.
You can switch. You can find an OB-GYN in your local area, make sure they except medicaid, call the local medicaid office and switch. Trust me. . . I know that you have this option because that is exactly what I had to do. The clinic that I was going to when I first started going was horrible. I waited nearly two hours or more, even though I had an appointment and even then after getting to the back I would just be weighed and pee in the cup then sent back out to the waiting room. The clinic that I was going to was more like a health unit and they took children, women, eye appointments and everything else under the sun including WIC. It took AGES to get seen. In order to receive proper care I had to switch and I shopped for a little looking for a new OB-GYN and when I finally found one in the area (even though it was an hour drive away) that took medicaid I pounced on it. I called them first and made my first appointment with them. Then I called my local medicaid office and told them that I was not receiving proper care and that I wanted to switch clinics. They approved it the same day. My wait time never exceeded 10mins and when I made it in the back they weighed me, I peeed in the cup and then I didn’t wait any longer than 5mins to see the actual doctor. They even went as far as giving me certificates to local spas and things to be pampered during pregnancy.
Just change clinics. Change. . . you can! Medicaid does allow this. And stop feeling so down. Nearly all of us know exactly how you are feeling during your pregnancy. I hope you felt better after ranting, and if you ever need to do that again my email is always open. Just get some pop in your step. Get out of that bed, take a long hot bath, rub lotion everywhere you can reach, put on some beautiful make you feel and look sexy clothes and then go outside and listen to the wind blow. Go driving around. Go for a small walk. Do something to get you out of that bed and feeling better about yourself. You can do that!
Hope this helps, and remember that my email is always open if you need someone to talk to!
