Collect child support.
Contact your local welfare office and get on the following:
WIC
welfare
Medicaid
CHIP for your child (children's health insurance program)
Section 8- for low cost housing.
The sooner the better.

Aside from the idiotic rantings from Paxico, everyone has given you some good tips. Sit down and write out all your bills and how much you make. Is there anything you can eliminate or cut back on (i.e. cell phone, cable tv, internet?)? Yeah, life can be sucky without all the extras, but sometimes that's what we have to do to survive. Do you eat out a lot? Stop for snacks? Shop a lot? Really, sit down and examine your finances. You'd be surprised how much you could save if you just cut back on a few things. We had to do that when our twins arrived. We're in a much better situation now, but things were rough at first. Definitely look into all the state programs offered. Best of luck.

As a single mother of a 3 yr old and another due in may, i know how you feel. when i found out i was pregnant this time, i was living like you, check to check, already with one son. i was so afraid to tell family and friends but once i did, everyone started pitching in like crazy. my suggestion to you is to get help from the govt. where ever you can. love your baby like crazy and live up beat and dont worry so much. after being in this situation, i think if you try the best you can and give your child love and support, things will somehow work out, whether by family/friends or just miracles sent at times of need. good luck to you and your gorgeous baby!

Shame on you, Paxico. Harsh judgement on someone you don't know.
There are lots of resources for help. Ask around. Do websearches. Do you belong to a church? There should be lots of help there. If you want to keep your baby take care of this now. You should have been working on this for the past 6 mos! It is going to be HARD work, but if you're willing to do the right things, all will work out. God bless and good luck!

hun i know exactly how your feeling. my husband didn't have a job for a few months after our baby was born, its gonna be hard but you can do it. Try to get on welfare, they can help with healthcare and foodstamps. also a good thing is to have a baby shower. you should be able to get a lot of things you need from the shower so that way you won't have to buy them yourself.

First i have to say is where is the father? Second there are places that help with these things i advise you check into some and get help for your baby. if the dad isn't around get his bottom for child support that will help you when she is born. if he says its not his then get a paternity test when you take him to court they do it for free.ill be praying for you and your little one. keep holding on GOD WILL PROVIDE for the both of you . seek him and find his love

in all reality you should have started planning for this a while back. Not 2 months before your baby is born!
but since you didnt.....
do you know who babys daddy is? collect child support when she arrives.

why would you have to give her up? your question needs more info. and although i am not a strong fan of welfare, as some people abuse it beyond belief, you should find out what help is out there to keep you on your feet while you are on leave. then think about a better job/more education to get that job. Good Luck
ok....and the woman above who answered about adoption....there are people out there who have hard times that have to use the welfare.....and deserve it.....then there are people who abuse it....and don't deserve.....devlop a sefl suffiency plan to make sure that you are not one who abuses it. like i said, we need more info before we judge as to who should/should not get to keep their baby........

Go on welfare.
Get on WIC.
Call your local hospital or courthouse and ask for information and phone numbers for help for single parents, etc.
There are resources out there - find them and use them.
Don't give your baby up unless you can't give her the life she deserves.

you should be collecting child support from the father. Also you can get help from your welfare office. Hang in there.
