Krista, I live in Maryland, I don't know if you have any Planned Parenthood Clinics near you, but here, any woman who is unemployed can recieve free prenatal checkups. You may not have the same doctor at each visit but at least you are recieving care. And have you applied for Medicaid? You say you were told that your husband makes too much money but did you actually apply? Sometimes apply and getting your case heard may help. A lot of hospitals will help you find a doctor and schedule low monthly payments as well - as long as you make a payment each month, even if it is only $5, they don't care. As for finding a job, I know that in my area there are jobs available that no one wants, like at McDonald's or K-Mart, they don't pay much but I do know that some money is better than nothing and most offer benefits to their full time employees. I wish you the best of luck and I'll keep you in my thoughts.
