Can't afford a baby but I'm pregnant

I’m 19 going on 20 in 5 months and I’m pregnant. I don’t live at home but I am not financially able to afford a baby. I’m in my second year of college. I don’t know how to tell my parents, or if I’m going to be able to stay in school. My boyfriend and I are still together but, he isn’t legally in the US.

Answer #1

Well, I can’t exactly afford a baby either with my 7 dollar an hour job. My fiance helps a bit. I get help from the state as for as getting a doctor for her and go through WIC to get her formula. You need to tell your parents. Family is the best support system someone can have even if you think they won’t support you.

Answer #2

If you want your baby, there are ways to make it work. Check your government listings for financial aid programs - there’s surely something out there to help you.

Obviously you’re too late to abort (something I’m thankful for).

Another option is to give it up for adoption.

Answer #3

theres lots of programs that help pregnant women like medicaid and wic you caneven apply for food assistance it depends on what state you live in and your income. look it up online. and if you don’t want 2 keep it give it for adoption. as for school if hes not in school he can take care of the baby while you go2 school
