    Find your local planned parenthood. I'm not sure what you mean by help. Are you looking for financial help? You can apply for medicaid. You're old enough to go to the doctor without parental consent.....Not sure what you're looking for, but your local planned parenthood can help you with about anything related to pregnancy. Good luck and congratulations!

    There are soooo many resources out there for you! call your local social services they can help you a lot with like medical expenses. WIC (women,infants,children) is a wonderful program too, they provide you food like milk,cheese,eggs, stuff like that while you are pregnant. And they also provide you with formula, baby cereal, and baby juice when your baby is born. Which trust me is a LIFE SAVER! then once your baby is 1yrs old to 5yrs old, they will provide you with regular milk,cheese,cereal,frozen juice....

    They are wonderful help. Seriously just call your local WIC, and social services and they will help you out a lot!!

    Well, I hope you have a good job. You can work for another 8 months and then take a leave of absence. You job's health insurance should pay for everything..and you should save as much as you can money wise. Don't forget to look into child support as when you go back to work....... day care is very expensive.

    Well I would contact your local human services and see what programs they have. Also go to WIC they give you some free basic foods and baby formula when your child is born. best of luck!

    depends on what state you live in, but your an adult now. You need to check out all the government programs that your state offers. I know all about Texas if that is where you live.
