I really need help, I'm 18 years old and around 3 or 4 monthes pregnant with no doctor.I live with my fiance (though I call him my husband) .My granmother I was living with has my social security number and I don't know how to get it from her.We are not speaking because since my 18 birthday she just deciced to not help me out with anything.I am so embarresed and scared of judgment because I'm a Christian and my pregnancy is considered out of wedlock(hopefully not in God's eyes) so know one except my fiance and mother knows.My mother can't help me because she lives in another state.What I really need to know is what should I do.I'm so scared I wont get a doctor or any help.Should I just go to the ER during my pregnancy? I don't want to do that.I really need insurence and a doctor.What should my fiance and I do?Btw abortion and adoption are out of the question.It would be against everything I believe to get rid of my child.I'm the one who had sex so I'm the one who needs to take care of the child.

You need to get your social back no matter what, Even if you don't have it, you shouldn't need it to go see a doctor. I'm almost 17 and 3 months pregnant and im going to go see a doctor for the first time in a week. Going that long without prenatal care can hurt your baby and yourself. If you need help you can try contacting a local pregnancy center. but DO NOT go to planned parenthood, they'll just try and make you give up your child.

The ER may not be able to provide you with enough care and it will probably be more expensive. Talk to nearby friends or family who've had a baby and maybe they can recommend a doctor. If not doing some online research for a doctor may help. look for one that may possibly share your religious views and has good comments.. it may take time to find a good doctor but you need to get one as soon as possible!

Good luck and i hope everything turns out well for you
