re: I'm scared

Quoting Katie. [♥]:" <blockquote><b>Quoting Tiger Lily ♥:</b>" I think every woman is worried about ... [snip!] ... wrong in the first trimester. It's normal."</blockquote> Definitely , heck I'm 33 weeks and still get worried lol."

I'm 26, almost 27, weeks and if he doesn't move for a few hours, I get worried! Hahah.

When did you start feeling the kicking? I'm excited for that, and the hiccups lol

I was around 18 weeks when I felt the first kick! Now....He kicks the hell out of my bladder..my cervix...anything, really. Never felt hiccups, yet.

Aweee. When did you get your first altrasound.
I haven't got one, I'm waiting to get medicaid, to go to the doctor.

I was 6 weeks and 6 days at my first. I got approved for Medicaid like...2 days after I applied, haha. But I'm on food stamps so that probably had something to do with it.

I don't have foodstamps, I don't think we can get it.
We don't have record of our bills that we pay for renting a place.

You could always have the manager or landlord write a statement saying that you pay so much for rent? All I had to take in was...My check stubs, a statement saying that my husband lost his job, a statement saying how much I paid for rent...And then I just put the electric and phone bill down on the application without record.

See, we live in a big house with two apartments, and his mom lives under us, we live upstairs, we pay her rent, $400 a month, plus a few utilities.

That would still work! All she would have to do is write a letter stating how much you pay for rent. When we got on FS, we were living with his dad and his dad wrote us a statement saying how much we paid in electric and rent.

Thank you, how long does it take to get WIC
and when I go apply for medicaid, do I need my birth certificate?

Quoting Brianna Eldridge-Cotteril:" Thank you, how long does it take to get WIC and when I go apply for medicaid, do I need my birth certificate?"

I applied for Medicaid at the clinic where I got WIC. I made the appointment and was in a week later. I left with WIC checks and then was approved for Medicaid within a few days. I didn't need anything, but my ID.

Thank you so much, I've got to get my ID change since I just moved and got married.

Didn't know exactly what I needed, I got all notes to prove I'm pregnant.

Pregnancy can be fun   Try to enjoy it. The other mamas are right though, if you can help it, don't google anything. It just makes it worse, especially if this is your first one.
I got my first kicks at 15 weeks... first painful kicks at 33 weeks. Hiccups started around 30 weeks and now she has them at least 2 times a day... they are cute at first but then they get harder and more frequent and its not as cute anymore. lol

Food stamps are helpful if you can get them! I need them, but here in CA you need to make about $1100 or less a month to qualify :/ We are poor, but not that poor.

I hear ya, Its worth it though.
I didn't think I could have kids.

I was shocked, and very happy.
I thought maybe I'd have to adopt, but no.
