I need some advice because my situation is a little complicated and I've never done any of this before. I starting yapping at the bottom, but here's a quick summary
Quick Summary
- My wife is 4 months pregnant
- She is undocumented
- We are mid-to-late 20's
- We live in Georgia (Atlanta metro)
- We did get one ultrasound at a clinic around 10 weeks and everything was good
Questions
- Insurance options for someone in her situation?
If no insurance:
- How will the delivery go given her situation? Where should I take her, what should I expect?
- What are my options to get her care in the meantime?
I'm not making a lot of money right now. I'm not too worried about the far future because my career path is decent. I am worried about right now, because she needs pregnancy care without insurance. She cannot be added to my work insurance without a SSN (I was really hoping this wasn't the case).
Basically, what are my options here? Is there other insurance available for people in her situation? Should I just plan to be in major medical debt and maybe file bankruptcy? Should I drive her to a different state to get care or even deliver the baby, or is that a completely stupid idea? Honestly I'm lost with what to do here
I research as much as I can, I make sure she eats right, has her vitamins, gets some exercise, only takes approved medicines, etc... I know it doesn't replace getting to the doctor. I will do whatever I need to. I have to pay rent, utilities, groceries, gas to get to work... these are priorities. I don't have a ton of money left over. I have side hustles that help in varying amounts. I think I can gather extra money in the next few weeks for a visit if it's not too much. What is my best course of action? Is there things you 100% recommend she gets done and maybe nonessential things I can save money on?
I've never had a pregnant wife before. I know having a baby right now wasn't the best idea. It's her first pregnancy, and things are scary for her in general. I know it's not ideal but truly I've never wanted anything more in my life than to start a family with her, and I will do whatever I need to for them. She worries that she's not doing anything right and there is no baby... I try to reassure her and she knows anxiety is a bitch and everything is probably fine... but I know only a doctor visit will ease her mind. I want to give her some good news. I just need some guidance from people who know things PLEAZ
