IF you are pregnant, I would go apply for Medicaid and WIC right away. That will assist you in medical costs and food. Also, you can get public housing vouchers in case you were to be kicked out. Gotta do what you gotta do.
I do feel that if you are responsible enough to take care of this possible baby, then you should really think about getting a GED and looking for a job to support your new family.
It will be hard, trust me.
But there are plenty of mothers that did it before you at 16 (sometimes younger) and many more will do so after you.
good luck!
The women on these boards are really supportive.
Try not to let the negativity get to you.
Every mother feels negativity at some point in their pregnancies.
At 21 when I told my mother that I was pregnant, she told me to get an abortion right away. My father called me a degenerate and the rest of my family called my unborn child a bas
tard and illegitimate because I was not married at the time.
You do what you feel is right in your heart.
But just know that the negativity will subside once your family gets to meet this possible baby and once you prove that you can raise this child by your actions alone.
