Okay so I'm pregnant. In my second trimester i believe. I have a question. First I would like to say that I don't have medical insurance yet so have not seen a doctor nor can I until I get it. I can go to a neighborhood clinic for about 70 or 80 dollars to see a doc there but I am not working right now and don't want to ask my b/f for more money. He does so much already. I didn't get my medicaid because I didn't have a proof of address. I'm not on the lease here and well my family or friends are not supportive of this relationship, therefore wont let me use there address.

Now my issue is that I have had a cough for a week already. there is no phlem. Just a dry cough. Not sure how i got it. Anyhow, When I have a coughing episode ( like a cough 3 or 4 times in a row) I tend to leak a few drops of urine. Sometimes i run to the bathroom and don't even have to go. Now it happens when I sneeze too. But not when I laugh. (thank God)

Does this seem like it's a normal pregnant thing? If so, then it's a first for me and I'm on my 5th baby. Or maybe I may have a problem with my bladder (God I hope not)? I do know that I need to get to a Doc soon. I plan to hopefully this week if the medicaid goes through. But in the meantime, does anyone have any idea why this is happening?

If you get your mail at your bf's address won't that be good enough or does it have to be a letter from the landlord?
Being in your second trimester I think it can be normal since the baby is probably starting to push on your bladder.

No, we need to have a bill sent to that address. Or a lease. We are going to try having him write a letter that says I live with him. Hoping they won't ask for the lease.

I do feel the baby kicking my bladder. I'm just kind of freaking out because it's never happened before. Hopefully that's all it is.
