Hang in there. Take the best care of yourself that you possibly can and take lots of deep breaths. I did not get prenatal care until 26 weeks and things look okay so far.
If you havent' already, try calling planned parenthood, even if there's not one in your area, they should still be able to hook you up with an adoption agency that will work with you. Also, they were the ones that reccomended the OB that accepted me and he has been more than generous with a payment plan and billing. The planned parenthood that helped me is 40 miles away, but they knew of an OB in my town.
As far as crisis pregnancy centers go, I couldn't agree more. Not only did I find out that the one I went to gets a kick back for every person that they send to a certain adoption agency, but they said a prayer that my sin of having premarital sex be forgiven right before I left. I left the place feeling like I was 15 not 32.
Good luck, I know it gets frustrating especially when you're already stressed out.

Thank you too Folly - just knowing other women have had troubles helps. I do have a PP within miles of me, so I will give them a call on Monday
