Pregnancy Info HOME

Sarah, are you in the UK or US? UK is a little easier as you don't have to pay for medical expenses and there are many child benefits over there, including living expenses if needy. I'm not sure where to start though, we had some help while I lived there btu my hubby arranged it all. US is a little more difficult. If you did not make a lot last year you will qualify for Medicaid which will cover your medical care and WIC which will help with some of the food staples. They will also point you in the right direction for other a__sistance. I'm not sure how some of that works in the US, grab a phone book and call. You don't have to file for adoption or abort if you don't want to, being poor will make things much harder for you but you can eventually get out of that. Do you have any kind of support system from your family?

I was 17 when I got pregnant, 18 when I delivered. I was still in high school. I took a year off of school after graduating and worked my b___t off. The next year I went to college and worked as hard as I could. I lived with my parents who were a huge support. I took care of my son through persistance and hard work. And I get paid back in dividends everyday. It was alot easier when I had another at 22, I had a partner, who became my husband shortly afterwards. You have options honey. Do what you feel is right in your heart. Best of luck.
