are from the uk? if so i would go to the local council they will provide you with a council place maybe not straight away you may have to stay in a bedsit for a few weeks you will get income support and get a grant about 500 pound before baby is born and then you get more help after baby is born like child benefit free milk etc! hope you get sorrted chick good luck!!! and if people get funny with you on here for being someone who lives off our taxes just ignore them! you need help thats all that matters alot of my friends are on benefits!!!

I'm sorry to hear you are in trouble,
Firstly, go to your doctor. He should be able to put you in touch with people who can help you. If you cannot go home to your parents or have no close family you can turn to he may suggest hostels for expecting mums. You can go onto benefits. Once the baby is born you will get free milk and vitamins for the baby and you should be able to get a council house. However, you need to put yourself on the housing list immediatley. If you declare yourself homeless and they think you are a genuine case, they will class you as a priority and try and house you before your baby comes.
I hope everything turns out okay for you.

The only things I can think of are to eat starchy foods like pasta, a sandwich, crackers, etc. and to drink more slowly and alternate with water, tea, or another non-alcoholic beverage.

you can get a council place and rent and council tax paid for you and you will also be able to claim income support and child tax credit i think you need to get to 26wks before you can claim but ask your midwife about a sure start grant form its £500 to buy baby things and you can ask social for a grant once your money is sorted to buy furniture for your house good luck. hope i helped in some way x

go to this website:
http://www.lifecall.org/shelters_cpc.html
you'll find a directory for maternity shelters where they can help you with a place to stay, food to eat, help you with a job and help you find a place and help you get your new family on track.
good luck to you!

How about asking the child's father for help - it's his responsibility too!

All sorts. Contact child or family services. They will be able to help you.
