Late prenatal care a problem?

I signed up for Medicaid at the end of March. My first prenatal appointment was suppose to be on May 14th (I was 12 weeks on the 14th). But by the 10th I had still not heard ANYTHING from Medicaid even though I called my caseworker three times that week.

So I called and postponed my appointment. The soonest appointment they had avalible after May 14th was June 14th. I will be one day away from 17 weeks pregnant at that point.

Medicaid went though just fine, and I should be getting my card in the next week. They never gave me a temparary card like I've seen people on here say that they do.

My question, is there any problems that it may be too late to take care of since I'm going to be about five months pregnant for my first visit? I had been to the doctor almost three times at 17 weeks with my first child and they did all kinds of tests by that point. And I've noticed that my cervix doesn't feel like it should (or did). And my left breast is really sore.

I had the same problem with TennCare during my last pregnancy and didn't go until 20 weeks.

Everything was fine and I had a beautiful daughter. All you can really do is take vitimans, eat well and stay away from drugs and alcohol.

I'm sure everything is fine, and congratulations!
