We just found out we are pregnant. We had not been planning it. Shortly after we found out that our insurance will not cover prenatal care. I have the Blue Cross HmO. I am self employed, so no employee coverage. We will not be able to qualify for any assistance because. Make more money than the threshold. We are looking into options and were told that once the health exchanges are in place, we might be able to get coverage, but by then I will be in my second trimester.

In the meantime, can anyone recommend an ObGyn in DC. I live in Mount Pleasant.

Also, does nyone have any suggestions of why else we can explore to help defer the costs?
