Are you married? you said you are married. If you are married, go to your nearest department of health services and get her signed up for medicaid.

This is why it is extremely important that you can afford a child before you concieve a child. Health insurance is a big thing and will be through this child's life.

Also, get her working on her citizenship immediately. There isn't any reason not to be legal.
