HAHAHA Invisible Pink, I love your answers. :D

To the poster of this question, obviously you'll have to go on welfare and sponge off the rest of us who work to provide for our families (and yours, apparently).

EDIT: How on earth are you pregnant and due in 5 months? You asked 2 months ago about how to get pregnant... If you managed to even GET pregnant in the last 2 months, there's NO WAY you'd be due in 5 months. So either you're just trying to piss people off and lying through your teeth, or you're just another dumb teenager trolling the boards who has no life and nothing better to do.

Um he is 18 and not pregnant and so he should be able to get a job and so should you right now that way you can at least not have to fully use the welfare system. I did part time on the side jobs when I was pregnant with my son up until I was 8 months pregnant including babysitting. Also you boyfriend can get a job at a local fast food joint, true the pay is crap but its enough to help get by. Once you get a job and are working, go to the welfare office and show them what you are doing and they will calculate how much left you need. You can also get WIC which is very benifiting, healthy and good and they also provide classes for new moms.

Entitled? What makes you think you're entitled to anything? Your parents are responsible for your "entitlements" until you turn 18, pregnant or not. Being pregnant at 16 doesn't entitle you to anything other than a swift kick up your behind. And legally by law your parents can't kick you out at 16, they're stuck with you and this screaming baby that I'm sure they didn't ask for. ETA - NO you're not entitled to financial support other than child support from the baby's daddy. Your a pregnant minor that your parents are responsible for. Once that child is born you can sue for child support from the sperm donor. This is the US not the UK. UK gets more benefits we don't. 2nd ETA - Well your question didn't post under the UK, posted under US for some reason so forget everything I said as it was a natural assumption you was from the states. You failed to mention you lived in the UK in your original posting, so don't get so defensive. Here in the states they can't legally kick you out at 16, the legal majority is 18.

Don't worry about what these people are saying if you were 30 they would still say you were going to live off the system. That is why we work so we pay taxes and then one day benefit from them. Heck my husband and I were both working making a decent living and both got fired/forced on early leave due to many prego complications so where does that leave us. Um yeah we got benifits what else are you supposed to do? Oh yeah and since my daughter had to spend almost 2 months in the NICU that would have bankrupted us!!!!!!!!!! And before some jerk says something hurtful...It was nothing I did.

Here's a benefit that can help: JOBS. For the both of you! He is 18, so he can find a full time job that will provide insurance for himself and the child when the child is born. You can work a part-time job, and if you can't afford insurance you can use medicare. But before you put a hand out asking for help, make sure you are helping yourselves first by doing everything within your means to produce income.

Well you need to tell your boyfriend to get a job to help support your baby. Try to get as much help as you can from both of your parents. Have you been to the dr yet? I hope so. It is very important to go to prenatal appts so that they can make sure the baby is growing properly etc and that you are healthy. You can apply for WIC in your area. They will give you food such as milk, eggs, cheese, juice, bread and stuff like that, depending on what package you have. You can also apply for the medical card and that will cover all the medical costs from appts and your labor and delivery. That is if you don't have any insurance. Look up and call your local human services office. Like in Illinois it is the department of human services. Good luck and congrats on the baby. Glad you are keeping the baby and not turing to abortion...that is just the easy way out and its not right. I am sure it wont be easy for you, but it is all worth it. I am 21 and just had a baby and it is still hard (and Im married!!) but it is worth every bit of it. I love her to death and wouldn't change it for the world!!

depends if your parents have insurance or not. if he's 18, he'll be paying child support. another family in the system. finish school, get a job and take care of the mistake you made. child's not a mistake, your actions are. same with the father. how sad

he can get a job ! he is 18 and i presume has an education

well i hope so

if you live in the UK you can get income support, and a one off sure start grant for £500 to pay for things for your baby you may also get child benefit

but tell him to pull his finger out of his a*se and get a job

and when your baby is old enough you can go to college and get a job to

so You can provide for your baby

I agree with Invisible Pink RN-my husband's tax dollars is what benefits you'll get. He works his a$$ off,and it's not to support YOUR children,although I"m glad the systems are there to help those that need it. MAKE HIM GET A JOB,HE IS NOT PREGNANT. If you're under 18,your mom and dad will have to apply for food stamps/medicaid for you with their income. You're underage and unless you are emancipated they are still solely responsible for you.

I'm not 16, but I'm low income and because of your age I'm assuming you would qualify as well. I get WIC, Medicaid (for you & baby), and food stamps. That helps tremendously.
