I know it's very important with me being a-. incase your wondring why i haven't seen a doctor I cant afford insurance and i don't qualify for medicaid in my state. and i can't afford to pay 100+ everymonth just to get a checkup.  

Answer
You havc to, at least, get a sonogram and some blood work (CBC, hepatitis B antigen, Rubella, etc). You will need the RhoGam shot at 28 weeks as well as a test for gestational diabetes at 28 weeks. The doctor may not see you if you do not register for care and be seen once a month. It is important.
