Calling Your Health Care Provider

Call your health care provider if you are pregnant and believe you are going into labor prematurely.

If you are pregnant, and not receiving prenatal care, call your health care provider or the State Department of Health. Most Health Departments have programs to ensure that pregnant mothers, whether covered by insurance or not, able to pay or not, receive adequate prenatal care. They will direct you to the appropriate provider.
