[QUOTE="DDD, post: 461904, member: 35"] I just realized that you said it looked like she was living in her car. Do you know if she has left or been discharged from the support house? One other thought that came to mind is her health insurance coverage. If she has been seeing one MD for her health care needs couldn't she make one more visit at least before being identified as pregnant? That way the Dr. could check her for STD's, remind her of the vulnerability of her newly forming baby etc. She should be covered up to the time of her diagnosis, I would think. If not, the pregnancy centers do offer the prenatal information that she will need and can't force her to terminate. I've never gone that route but I believe they have to legally offer all the info. The sooner she fully understands what her obligations are the better the chances of a healthy baby. by the way (with no intention of presenting scary info) GFGmom's little girl was born blind in one eye. Based on what she told me, with some apparently honest emotion, is that it resulted from her not taking a certain prenatal supplement that was given to her or prescribed. When she discovered that there was a vision problem she took little difficult child to an opthomologist to be checked and he said to her "you are the reason for this problem because you did not take X like you were told to during pregnancy". It shocked her...and me. GFGmom has never had an addiction problem and yet this terrible result came about, evidently, because she skipped a medication to assure the baby's health. Your difficult child needs prenatal care. My heart goes out to you. DDD [/QUOTE]
