She is 16, and pregnant?
My advise is to make both the father and your daughter take resposibility for their actions. Take her to the nearest store close to your apt. or house, and have her get a job!!!!

I need the details of what your job is and how much you get paid...I'll give advice on that later but I have advice for your daughter
She shouldn't have had sex in the first place...promise me you'll stop her until she gets married...
To the daughter:
please take care of your child...she/he will be your first priority...give your child all the love you have and support your mother because she says she's not being paid well...i also have a good idea for a job for you if the payment is that low, maybe a waitress or cashier in a restaurant which is near where you live so your mother can check up on you if you need help...promise me you wont have sex until you're married or until you're an adult because it's hard if you're just a teen and you have to take of a baby (or even 2)...be thankful you have a mother supporting/helping you because there are other teen mothers who were thrown out by their own parents...
to the mother: ----answer the questions first----

I will pray for you but wont the government help?Yall don't have any programs for pregnant teens? Also I really do not mean to be harsh but if you and your daughter together cant come up with any answers what about an adoption agency they'll help only if she plan to give the baby up and maybe she does not want to. Dang and I thought Texas was bad if there was Any kind of way that you and your daughter could move to Texas yall would have a much better chance. I think we have a better system than what I am hearing from you. Whatever yall do please dont give up she really needs you right now. I WILL DEFINITELY PRAY FOR YOU. What about the unborn childs' father is he even around to help ----------My heart goes out to yall

Are you homeless? It sounds as though you at least have a job ...correct? You sound very fustrated and discouraged by the minimal assistance that is being offered...understandable. Go to a local church and keep plugging away for some help. There are organizations that are non profit that are willing to lend a helping hand....but the consequences of your daughters actions are going to be met with some resistance. Keep your daughter in school at all costs and give her the options of open adoption so that she can better her life before being a fulltime mommy.

This Republican can assist you her. Her daughter is pregnant and single, yet has chosen to offer the baby existence. that asserts alot! She might have chosen to abort a beating heart, yet she did no longer. regrettably, too many youthful women finally end up in this concern and then upload extra undesirable possibilities to the 1st. shows that the government being in touch in intercourse training of our toddlers isn't working. we've the optimal fee of pregnant youngsters interior the industrialized international, in part because of the fact we've made abortion uncomplicated to get (in California, a youngster might properly be taken for an abortion by using a college counselor or nurse, without the father and mom permission or notification). comparable baby won't be in a position to get a shot without the confirm being there. the place is the experience of that.

Wow. You sound pretty bummed. I don't think theres anything I can offer. But have you tried talking to someone about this? Like.. I duno.. A relative? Friend? Someone over the internet...
Why are you wasting your time on the internet now though? Just ignore me. I don't know what to say. I'm sorry. As for your daughter, an abortion would sound best. For the child's sake. But then again you must respect your daughters choice. It's her choice not yours.
There must be some helplines you can ring.. But because you gave your currency in $- I don't know any in the US..

The hospital where she will deliver should have a social worker who can get the paperwork started. Medicaid normally will back pay for three months, but you should get her signed up before she has this baby.
Most cities have tons and tons of assistance available to pregnant people. Prenatal care should not be an issue. And make sure she gets prenatal care.
I don't know about arizona, but in some states, being pregnant makes you an emancipated minor, which means she can go sign up for assistance herself.

There is help out there! Go to the department of human services get her on medicaid any pregnant woman qualifies for medicaid. Get into a government housing get her on W.I.C. let her be an adult and do all the paper work and go to her own appointments get a ride from friends or family to take her to the appointments so you won't have to miss work. I know it's easier said than done. Hang in there!

First you should support her and make sure she finishes High school... You should try getting Medical assistance from the government... My husband was working full time to provide for me while I was pregnant and his job didn't offer medical so I applied for MC+ (that's what it's called in Missouri) It's a form of Medicaid for pregnant women...You should also apply for WIC it'll help out with free milk and cheese and stuff like that...there number is 1-800-322-2588... I know allot of people on here hate it when others mention government assistance but you know that's what it's there for...

You are in hard situation, therefore, you daughter should understand that! Ask your daughter how is she going to support the kid while in this kind of situation. I recommend talk to the government for more help, go on welfare or something. You already in a low condition family, you dont want a new life have to fall in the same condition as you do, tell your daughter to give up for adoption. that is hte best you can do for the family and the future of the new born baby!

The doctors office has forms to fill out for medical assistance. I'm sure she qualifies and maybe you too. I n any case you will have to make a doctors appointment for her. They will back date it so medical card will cover. You will need to take off work though for the 1st appt. Make it the last appt. of the day at your clinic so you won't miss any more work than you have to. Contact your health and human services,they can also get you set up with WIC for her. That way she will get food stamps while pregnant and formula ,juice and cereal for baby. SHE REALLY NEEDS TO DO THIS RIGHT AWAY!
