Have you worked before. You should be able to file for disability. If not you are going to have to go to social services for families and apply for government aid to purchase food and things for the baby. Also try WIC in your local area. They provide milk, formula, cheese, cereal for you and the baby.

Well you can get WIC for you and the baby so you don't have to buy formula and you can get on food stamps also after the baby is born you can put the guy on child support and that should be able to help you out a little bit. Also if you know a family's that need a sitter you can be a nanny until you baby is born cause that is one job that they should care if your pregnant well good luck and best wishes. Also you can go to baby zone and baby center for coupons they send you all kind of different coupons

I will let you know first hand as I was a single mom myself about 11 years ago.
You can get WIC which gives you FREE cereal, milk, eggs, juice and cheese but it does not last long because you only get it for while you are pregnant and I believe up to six months or a year after you give birth. You get FREE formula for the baby for a year as well and the child stays on WIC as long as you qualify for five years.
You can get food stamps.
Money from the state (was like $100 a month) is not even worth it because it is not enough to pay rent or utilities.
Housing is crappy and in the bad part of the city.
I lived with my parents till I got back on my feet.
When I was getting help even though I was determined to get off welfare...they will make you look for work once you have that baby.
You may want to ask for help from family till you can get on your feet.
It is not easy being a single mom but I will say this much...do not depend too much on the state to help you...you need to help yourself.
After I had my son I busted my butt to get off welfare and today I am happily married to a soldier in the military and the only thing we use is WIC since we qualify for it...everything else we work for.
Good luck

Well,let me just say it takes alot of courage to be a single mom,many women do it everyday! So,props to you for that.
As far as money,you can sign up for welfare they can assist you with medical bills,food stamps,and money to help you along.Sometimes they even help with finding housing and such.
As far as coupons,now as far as milk and stuff go see your local wic office they will give you food for now seeing as how you are pregnant even tho they will need proof you are(which im sure its obvious) its just for their records tho.They will also continue to give after the baby is born,for formula and stuff as long as you take your baby in to the same wic office and such.
Also,go online to like pampers and huggies and all those sites and they sent out samples of diapers and usually it has coupons in it for so much off of diapers im sure you can find some for formulas and things as well.Good luck with everything!!!

get state help, my husband and I got it when I got pregnant, and you can get money for food assistance, WIC - which will get you food like milk, cheese, cereal, and a few other things, and you may also be able to get assistance with housing.
Technically it is against the law for places to discrimminate against you for being pregnant, but unfortuantely it still happens. It was sooo hard for me to find a job when I was pregnant. Try places that just want temporary people, and that might be more available since its summer.
oh, adn find a rich b/f... j/k lol :)
good luck!

You were able to get your self pregnant... get off your fat butt and get a job. You don't deserve a free ride just because you were able to lie on you back with your legs open! Millions of mothers around the world work every day pregnant.. why can't you. McDonalds will take you.... or are they below your hourly fee.

You can go to different websites and sign up and most of the time you get coupons and they send free samples in the mail.

You can go find a job in a big company and work there for a while, and then take a "pregnancy leave". During your pregnancy leave, you will still be payed as if you were still working there everyday.

the government has a welfare program you could check into if your income is low enough you might qualify for WIC coupons that would feed the baby for a while.
