    It's your baby, your responsibility. If you couldn't afford a baby, you should NOT have had sex in the first place. I got pregnant at 17 s well but didn't look for tax payers to pay my way. Your boyfriend needs to get a job.

    You can go to the local health department and you will be able to get all the information that you need. The MC+ is the health insurance that will cover about anything. I am not sure since you are underage if you need anything from your parents or not. I went when I was 18 and no questions asked or anything and I never had a bill to pay not even for medications or the hospital stay. I went to a health department out of St. Louis but the state will all run the same. Plus even after the baby is born it will be added and covered under health insurance too. Wish you all the luck.
