Allright, here's the sich....
I'm about 6+ months pregnant, and we've been doing a UP all along. I haven't seen anyone at all regarding my pregnancy.....and didn't even think to, until someone mentioned needing proof of pregnancy for the birth certificate. Last time, I was on WIC & maternal support services thru the health dept, so they had my record as proof. But we decided not to do WIC or MSS this time because we've gone mostly organic and don't want to submit our info to get Medicaid (don't ask - DH is very wierd about who has our financial/SS info
)
We don't have health insurance, and my usual doctor has moved away, so I'm without a PCP as well.
Any ideas of who to go to for proof of pg? Can it be ANY doctor? My mom works in an orthopedics office - could I go in & ask one of the surgeons to sign something? I'm kinda stumped - I don't want to have to go to a regular doctor's appointment just to get this, nor do I want to pay anything! It's very obvious I'm pregnant. Could a nurse sign something? Is there a standard from used for this sort of thing?
OR.....do I even need to worry about this? Those ladies who give birth without knowing they were pregnant have gotten BC's for their babies, right?
Yeesh! Help! What would you do, if you were me?
