Yikes!
Hmm...I would try one of the state run hospitals or possibly a place like planned parenthood.
I used to live in Dallas and I know there were several clinics there that offered payment plans or reduced fees for uninsured people. I know that's not Houston, but it's still Texas, so I would hope there would be something similar in Houston?

Good luck, Congrats on the baby and I'm sure everything will be fine!

First of all try not to stress too much about it. Look online for different clinics. Look for the community action listing in Houston and they may be able to help you find someplace. They tend to advocate for moms to be and children. It can't hurt and even if they can't help you, they know of someplace that can. 713-393-4700 looks like may be their number.
Congratulations on the baby.

I don't know much about this but I did look into it a little bit before I found out I would be covered by my fiance's insurance, and this looked like a good option if you were stuck in this situation, might be worth looking into:

maternity card

Good luck and congratulations on your pregnancy!

Also check with Catholic Community Charities - and you don't have to be of that faith to seek their help.

Is returning to England to have the baby completely out of the question???
I see you are on the spousal visa so it looks doable....

What kind of work does yourself or your spouse have? Is there health care offered at yours or his place of employment?
