Find a website online for Job and Family Services. You can print out an application for healthy start/healthy families (Medicaid). Also contact your local WIC office and apply there ASAP. They'll give you certain foods for a healthy pregnancy, then formula after the baby is born. Also try to get food stamps. If you need anything, email me at ashleymrivers@aol.com. I got pregnant at 17, so I'll help as much as I can.

What state do you live in? Go to your local health department they can help you or refer you to someone who can? Best thing go to your local medicaid office and get signed up on medicaid to cover your medical bills, then make an appointment with a obstetrician, or what most people refer to as a ob/gyn. Get prenatal care asap. Here's a link that will help you find your local medicaid office. Hope this helps. www.cms.hhs.gov

Okay I live in Texas we have planned parent hood and they have to help you to get on medicaid. You are 16 so you will need a gaurdian unless you have went thought the court system for declaring yourself your own person. Also try the free clinic or clinic that provides help to the needey. Hope this helps. But since you are 16 most likly you will need a parent or gaurdian to be with you. As an aunt or some one you trust if you don't trust your parents.

See if you can get Medicaid. They might be able to help. Contact your local government office, they can point you in the right direction for medical care. Planned Parenthood should have at least given you somewhere to go for help.

I'm not sure about your state, but you should qualify for medicaid to take care of medical expenses. Check with your Department of Social Services. You may also want to check with a local church to see if they know of any local programs that help unwed teen mothers. My church has one, and we get teens from all over the place it seems from time to time.

depending on where you live you should qualify for medicaid or something like it, im not sure if its the same thing as planned parenthood but try calling the health department or something like child and family services (welfare office) and tell them your situation, there has to be some kind of help for you, if you dont live with your mom, who do you live with? if its the childs father ask him to help you with the situation, good luck.

Check with your local Social Services Department or local Health Department. I am sure you can get on medicaid and then you should have a whole list of Dr's to choose from.

Your health department should be able to help. They should also be able to refer you to special programs that can give you assistance. Keep you head up and know there are things out there designed to help you, sometimes you just have to dig deep. You should find out where your health department is, that is the best advice you can get. They only exist to assist you. Don't be scared.
