I may be pregnant and I do not have health insurance or any money and I might need things that a woman requires when pregnant that I cannot afford.

WIC
The Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children - better known as the WIC Program - serves to safeguard the health of low-income women, infants, & children up to age 5 who are at nutritional risk by providing nutritious foods to supplement diets, information on healthy eating, and referrals to health care.
This website is maintained by the Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), a Federal agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, responsible for administering the WIC Program at the national and regional levels.

There is a government program called WIC, I know it is provided for low, and no income mothers- to- be. But I`m not sure how to apply for it, also they will continue give you free food products for some time after the Baby is born, I hope someone can give you more information to help, because it is vital that Mom and the unborn baby is well cared for in the early stages and throughout her pregnancy. Take care, and May God bless you and your little one. Also there are quite a few local Churches who offer some type food commodities.

I would go to the welfare office and sign up on foodstamps and get on hud to have a house for you and your baby & sign up on a medical card. You are entitled to all of this since you have no income.
You could go to the goodwill for clothes and things like that. Be sure you have a baby shower and that will help you out alot. Where and what is the father doing about you being (may) pregnant?
He should help you out...

Most states have programs designed for mothers like yourself and will provide services to you and your child for a few years after the baby's birth.
