    Do you mean you almost miscarried, or you are in danger of having one?

    What country do you live in?

    I live in Stone Mountain, Ga in the United States and I almost had a miscarriage.

    May I ask you how you know you almost had a miscarriage?

    How far along are you?

    Women in the US who are pregnant are, or were, eligible for medicaid. You need to seek assistance from your local health department.

    How far along are you?

    I would suggest going to the ER if you are bleeding.

    Niascott, it would help us help you if you could give us more information into your situation.

    How old are you?

    How far along are you?

    Why did you go to the hospital?

    Have you been to your health department for financial help?

    When you answer these questions I might be able to help you better.

    Atlanta has many pregnancy centers, Plus you can normally be seen at the health department.

    Also if you are very poor, do you not have medicaid ?
    There is also Grady Health Care System, in down town Atlanta, perhaps 15 miles or so from you that may help


    Here is a group in Tucker, ( closer to you) that should be a good place to start
    Atlanta Pregnancy Resource Center - Services

    It looks like the closest Planned Parenthood to you is in Atlanta, which is about 15 miles from you:

    75 Piedmont Ave. NE, Suite 800
    Atlanta, GA 30303
    p: 404.688.9300
    f: 678.733.8524

    Their website lists all of the Woman's health services they provide, usually for free.

    I highly recommend other women centers that are not operated by Planned Parenthood.

    Too many of the centers have had legal issues and I serious question the moral problems of many of them

    The fact remains that Planned Parenthood provides free healthcare for the poor, and this issue has nothing to do with the politics of abortion, this is about helping someone in need.

    Several options have been provided here.

    Niascott, is there anything else we can help you with? Do you think you can get access to one of the services listed here for you?
