Usually not. In most states from what iv been told! Cause a unborn child has no rights, So if she chooses not to see a doctor that's her descion. But.. If something was to happen to the child (after birth) as a result of her not seeing a doctor, Im pretty sure the state can file charges on her.

There is no law (in the US) compelling pregnant women to seek appropriate medical care.

However, there have been some stories of criminal charges being filed when the fetus is stillborn or sick due to the mother neglecting to seek appropriate medical care, or due to her use of alcohol/drugs while pregnant. Additionally, children who are born with illness/defects as a result of the mother's negligence are often taken by the state at birth or shortly thereafter.

In any event, this is not a legal issue, so much as a moral issue. A woman who does not bother to seek appropriate medical care upon discovering that she is pregnant, for whatever reason, MAY not turn out to be a fit parent.
