Or a clinic. They have one in my town. You pay on a sliding scale based of your income. They are also super kind.
Go to your local assistance office for the paperwork. You can also fill out the application online. Apply for everything , food stamps, MA, cash. You may only get MA but it doesn’t hurt to try. You’ll need paystubs with your application.
Also, apply for WIC. All pregnant women and children under 5 qualify. You get healthy food for you and then baby. Your baby will be covered under MA/Chip after he/she is born depending on your income. You’ll be covered 6 weeks after the birth unless you reapply. You may pay a small amount but MA is good insurance. Covers everything, medical, dental, eye care. Glasses. Therapy. MA also will buy you a breast pump if you nurse.
I had MA as a young mom and I had to get my kids back on it after my husband died and his company canceled the insurance. PA covers everyone under 18 without insurance. I paid $100 a month for both my kids but that was based on income. You could pay less or nothing.
I’m glad to live in state that covers moms and children. I gladly pay taxes for that. MA was a blessing to me as a working parent who couldn’t afford insurance.
Congratulations👣

Thanks! I doubt I’ll qualify for food stamps, but I’ll check it out. I’m 28 and married, we just don’t have insurance because I work part-time and it’s too expensive through my husband’s work which is a small business. But I’ll definitely get WIC
