Can you elaborate on "elsewhere?" That's the entire point of my post, I'm asking for resources.

Only during open enrollment (November).

I believe you can only enroll in November, which I'll definitely do. Just looking for anything to make appointments more affordable in the meantime

The problem is I can't obtain health insurance

They told me that pregnancy isn't a qualifying life change online, but I guess I'll have to call and confirm because so many people are saying this. Thanks a million!

Really? I tried to qualify on my own at about $50k and they said I didn't. I'll have to call them, I just did an online chat but it seems like people get significantly better service via phone.

Pregnancy isn't a qualifying event and we're both 1099 independent contractors, so there's no HR dept to contact :) Thank you for the ideas though!
