go to the county. Most young pregnant women went in to the county.

One of your other questions said you were trying to get pregnant… You didn’t think about how you didn’t have insurance before you decided to get pregnant? That makes me sad. How did you think you were going to pay for doctor’s appointments, your baby’s check-ups, the delivery, etc… without insurance?
Now, I know a lot of adults probably have children without insurance all the time. The thing that makes me mad is that you’re 16, you were TRYING to have a baby, and you aren’t even prepared to take care of it. That’s selfish.
I’m sure there’s some way for you to get prenatal care. Call your county’s health department and see if they can lead you in the right direction.

Don’t worry I am sure there is some program out there that the taxpayers will pay for. You should call Medicaid and ask them where you can go. They may be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck!

MEDICAID IS THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU

You should be on your parents plan if you are under 23 and in school.
OH you are not a US resident ….. Sorry can’t help you. The fact that you are not a US citizen and are looking to mooch off my Government makes me mad. You want to use the money we have all been paying for years. I bet you have never paid any taxes to the US. Maybe you should go back to your own country. I hear some other country have a better heath care program then the US. Sorry if this sounds mean.
Oh yeah and you are too young to have kids.

all you can do is try to apply for medicaid – they will either tell you yes or no. most likely they will qualify you becuase they dont like mothers not getting proper physicians care.

Go to a free clinic, I`m sure they can help, they will tell you were to go, start with typing free clinics in then click the name of your city, then you`ll get many names and phone #s, make sure to call make an app to see a doctor it is important.
God bless you for your life will be very difficult form now on. but God will be with you one way or another.

I didn’t read the previous answers so I’m sorry if I have repeated anything someone has said.
My niece is the same age as you and was in the same boat. She got help from the state through the WIC and Health departments. The WIC department which stands for Women Infant Children gives her coupons every month to make sure she has a healthy pregnancy juice milk peanut butter cheese cereal ect. and then when she delivers she will get coupons for formula. And the heath department gives her a special card that’s like a credit card she can go and buy all kinds of food with.
I also had a friend who was on state aid and when she had she baby EVERY bill was paid in full. If I were you I would contact your WIC deparment and health department they will help you. Hope this helps and CONGRATS! on your baby

Go directly to the Medicaid office and and tell them your situation and what you should do, you need prenatal care now. They should refer you to someone that can help. Or go to Planned Parenthood- 1800230PLAN. Good Luck!

Kids having kids – makes me weep…….

Do you have a job? If not, why not? Since this was a planned pregnancy, why didn’t you do your planning. Another welfare queen in the making……
