Most areas have public health and womans centers for stuff like that. They usually pay for everything. Then there is programs like WIC program and Medicaid that pay for the babys food and medical.

I was in kind of the same situation but do you live with your mother or family members? Here's what did/doing. I wasn't ready for a baby but i don't believe in abortions. So i kept my baby. I found out i was pregnant within the first 4 weeks, so i went a got a job before i started really showing. ( who wants to hire a pregnant girl?) I worked up until i was 7 months and save 80 % of each check. I was 18 at the time and was in my last months of high school, so i made sure i kept going to school. I went and got on WIC. I went and got on welfare. I had a baby shower and got soooooooo much stuff i didn't't really have to buy anything. After the baby came i sat back for awhile and collected disability and welfare plus the money i saved up. Then when my daughter was about 3 months i went to a trade school and let my mother watch her. That didn;t work out so i had to quit school. Now i let welfare pay for childcare and transportation and i back in school, A Community college and i work part-time. So welfare helping me until i can help myself. Just don't make it a long time thing just temporally.

If you are an illegal Mexican....don't worry !
Welfare System is there just for you and your
baby. You would get free medical assistance
during your pregancy and the baby delivery
would be in a clean hospital and later you
would get a monthly financial support. We, the
tax payer, would take care of you....If you
are caucasian and a legal citizen of USA...
then be prepare to pay the hospital bill and
forget about financial support.Good luck to you

Depending on your age you'll get child tax credits and income support if not working. And no matter what you'll get child benefit. So you'll get help and there is also a £500 grant you can get if your not working to buy the things the baby will need. Hope that helps.

You have three options my dear, continue the pregnancy and raise the child or place the child for adoption. Checkout the following websites anc call the centers near you. Good luck

Ask politely on the web for help.If a lot of kind people donated just one pound surely that would help you and the baby,i'll give you 10 pounds to get things started.

i suppose it depends a lot on your circumstances i worked full time before maternity leave which i am now on additional leave without pay and have a very low repayment mortgage so manage with child benefits and child tax credits i also get a subsidised council tax rate. listen though babe dont consider an abortion if its just because of money something will work out

The only other option is to go and stand in that good'ol county line and get you some food stamps and a monthly check like all the other women without jobs.

There are many state & local agencies that can help you. Each state is different though so the first place to start is by contacting your department of children & family services.

if you are old enough to claim benefits, you will get income support, and maternity allowance. you should also get a surestart maternity grant for £500 to help pay for your pram, cot, clothes etc whatever you need.(this is the case in scotland anyway)
