Starrnak - May 14

I am soo happy i found this site. It is a shame that so many of us have to experience these sorts of things. I am almost 15 weeks pregnant. My baby's father has two kids on the way. My situation is a little different. I have a good job that has health insurence, but I don't have enough money to pay for the 20% that I am required to pay. I make $116 too much a month for all assistance programs. My story if very simular to alot of the women on this forum. I asked my baby's father for help and he told me that I was immature (for asking for help with pre-natal costs). He told me to quit my job and go on welfare so he doesn't have to pay. He also told me that because I told his girlfriend I was pregnant I was heartless and responsible if she miscarries. I plan on filing for child support, but I have reason to believe this man lied about his name. He tells everyone he is 24 when he really is 34. I have days when I am really excited about my baby, and others where it seems like the end of the world. I normally am very strong but I feel so helpless and cry a lot.

Hi Starrnak, yours is the first post I've read and I just wanted to say "hang in there". I would talk to doctors and explain your situation. I've worked in an office where people say "I can pay this whole bill" and some lower the cost. Or let you make small payments. I would try that first. My live-in boyfrined didn't want to help me pay! Can youi believe that? He didn't want the kid, and like so many posts on here, wanted me to have an abortion. I cry a lot too! It's an emotional roller coaster, isn't it? Just so you know, you are NOT alone with your thoughts. I think the last time I cried was when I was 14 years old (I'm 24 now). So hang in there, and talk to your docs about lowering the bill first. Write out your monthly bills and show them you can't afford it. I wish I could help more. Hang in there.
