Re: im 18 and i just found out that i am pregnant

Depends on what country/province/state you live in.

For the United States where is Wic - gives you coupons for certain baby items such as milk, formula, some cereals, etc.
HUD - hels pay your rent but you have to have an income of some sort, even if just $10 a month.
And I could get you more of a list if I knew for sure you were in the US somewhere :P

Yep, WIC and HUD and community shelters in your area. Just look in your phone book.

Oh yes, and Food Stamps - no income needed but if you live with ANYONE (parents/friend/roommate) then their income counts as your income. If you live alone and have no income, you qualify, or if you have little income.

As Amy said, phone book would be able to give you numbers and organizations who could help. Also, if you get in touch with one of those I mentioned they can help direct you to other places that can help too. There are some areas around here where I live that will donate baby equipment to you, but you HAVE to give it back when your baby is a year (sometimes 2 years old) or you get fined for it. But that is a really neat thing where I live. Might be places near you that way too.
