if you are not old enough to get a job then... are you 14? anyway, i have two month old twins (i am seventeen) and i have never needed to get money from the government. your parents could probably get more money. my boyfriend pays for all of our family's expenses (him, me, and the twins) including food, shelter, etc... you could probably see if there was a way to get the father of your baby to pay for some things for the baby, you might have to work that out legally, though. good luck sweetie. i hope you and your baby turn out okay.

Make an appointment with your local WIC office. They will be able to provide some help, and also give you direction on whom else may be able to help you.

Yes. I know a girl who gave birth at 19 - she lives in an apartment and pays $30 a month for it, and also gets all kinds of other benefits. However, she is also enrolled in online nursing school.

No, your parents should help support you and the baby if you are not old enough to work.

yes you can.
there is medicaid and wic. if you want to finish school there is daycare assistance they do not pay all of it. just the majority of it. and it is not the governments money its peoples taxes that they work hard and pay for. you will get some rude answers sorry.

im so against it though.
im 17 with a 14 month old with NO government assistnace.

i don't see why not, iv never been a pregnant teen but i think you can get help. Go to your welfare office, and look up how to get on WIC.

My friend (not teenager, mid 20s) was pregnant when we were stationed in Arizona. Her friend told her about this company that gives your baby free insurance coverage (dont know how good it is though) and covers all the hospital costs and obgyn appointments beforehand. I have no idea what it's called, but before she lost the baby she had an appointment with the agency to get on board with them.

Like I said, I'm not sure what it's called --but there is something in Arizona.
