Pregnant, stressed... what should I do?

You need to find out about WIC. You can call your health department or Wic office should be in the phone book. From that you will be able to get cereal, cheese, milk eggs and peanut butter. If you know of a church that has a food pantry you could tell them your situation and get food there. Call Social Services and find out about medicaid and someone should be able to help you from there about what doctors accept medicaid ( there should be some women doctors that do). Look in the phone book and call the doctors ofices and ask if they accept pregnant patients and medicaid.

When you feel you are stressing take a walk, watch a favorite movie at home or listen to favorite music, take a bath, call a friend, talk to your boyfriend. Also go to a church, not only for how they can help you. you'll find that you can pray to God at any time. He can help things to turn around for you. You will also find caring people. I hope things get better very soon.

Oh my God hun I am so sorry. I am 23 weeks pregnant and lost my job with benefits at 12 weeks I had to apply for medicaid then but I had not had my first appointment so I did not have to change OB's. Currently we are both out of work but he is supposed to start a job monday so there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Things will work out. Try not to stress too much. I spend hours on this site and others just trying to help others and read about my baby's growth and development and it calms me. There is not much I can do so I try to relax. If you think there is something wrong or need to go to the Dr. go to the ER they have to take you. I hope this eases your mind a little bit. It is rough, and hard and not the way you want things to be but things happen for a reason - Try to eat regular small meals- fruits and vegies and do not skip on the pre natal vitamins! :) good luck

The state will help with emergency cash assistance, food stamps, medicaid as you know. You def cannot keep going without eating everyday. Do you have family that can help? Does he? There are options for you and your boyfriend. I really wish you luck and I know things will turn around for the better, they always do.

What state do you live in? Do you have any other children? you could always go to human services and apply for assistance there in NO reason why you should go witout eating for a day ESPECIALLY during pregnancy you dont have any family or friends that could help out??

you should apply for wic and at least take prenatal pills for baby its not normal to go without eating or call some grocery stores and they might be able to give you things that start to go bad there usually good they throw it out most of the time you should speak to manager tell him your situation

You should see about joining the WIC program.... the state will give you some food items like milk and cheese and cereal... and when the baby come formula. I think foodstamps too.

you need to go to wic and asked them or try to get on food stamps because you need t eat to help that baby grow . or go to some family's house and see if they can help you out. pray to god he help one of you to find a job

you need to get on state aid right away. they can feed you every day and get you medical insurance. it is NOT ok to go even a day without one meal let alone without eating period. you NEED to get state help if family is not an option.
