look for help for food within your local COUNTY. Call the courthouse in the county you live. They will help guide you with any assistance you will need. There are only a select few programs out there that can help you along the way. It is almost impossible to depend on government aide to fully support living cost. But, food support and cash support will help some. I have been down the same road with no job and was pregnant and the father was with me, but not involved at all. So, financially i found help throught the government and family/friends. Dont be afraid to ask for help because you need to do it for your child.
Good luck and best wished.
In Illinois they have a WIC program and I believe you can go there and get vouchers for food for while you are pregnant. A friend of mine used it and said they paid for fruit, milk, etc. while she was pregnant and then vouchers for formula, babyfood, etc. after she had the baby. They also gave her info and resources for health insurance for the baby. She even worked and showed proof of income. I think you should check online to see if you qualify. Good luck!
Well as much as it is against the law to not be hired for your expecting they do it! You are not gong to find anything until after the baby , maybe you can babysit that is a good income average rate is 7-10 an hour depending were you live or of you have to go to welfare get a degree while your pregnant so after baby is born finding a job & paying for child care will be much easier. My daughter in law ran into the same problem as you the baby is now 7 months old she is working at doctor office while earning a degree during her pregnancy. Good luck & God Bless
babies r us hired me when i was pregnant... they weren't too understanding about when i needed tiome off though; i had pre eclampsia, & my dr was constantly sending me to the hospital for stress tests, which would sometimes take hours, & i had migraines almost daily. there is a website that has info on where to go for whatever helop you might need - its 211.org; i live in jersey, so i would type nj211.org. good luck.
