I’m not sure what I can do because I can’t afford any medical care. And I’m scared for the babies and my own health. Do you guys have any tips on what I should do?

There are always payment plans when they send a bill. Go to your doctor. 🙏🏼

Definitely go to the doctor and worry about the bill later. Most urgent cares can see you and will just bill you later. Also, are you qualified for Medicaid? Had a friend get Medicaid while she was pregnant cuz she wasn’t working the whole pregnancy

Do you have medicaid. If not you can be approved just because you are pregnant?

I agree with Stephanie. Go to the doctor and just worry about the bill later. If you feel your UTI is not fully cured they will give u something to cure that and see what is the cause of your discharge. As Long as u get the UTI treated asap it won't hurt your baby. Leaving untreated is when it becomes complicated

I had a UTI when I was 7 wks, after my urine culture and my OB prescribed safe antibiotics to get it cured. Baby is still fine. And I had no symptoms or discharge. Thank God for the testings

Ok thank you so much guys! I really appreciate it!

I went to the hospital! And I did get approved for Medicaid. It’s just that I didn’t have the card yet and I was nervous.

They should be able to pull the information still. I pray all went well with your visit.

Is there a local planned parenthood? The care is usually free.

Go to the hospital - you can go septic with untreated utis and I know of someone that happened to, they actually have no signs of a uti at all but had one, they went septic, went into preterm labor at like almost 4 mos and had a stillborn. Not trying to scare you about that - but I think most women don’t understand how serious it can get if untreated. Just go to the emergency room and don’t worry about the bill, they can’t mess with your credit anyways.
