Birth Mother Financial Assistance

You are not alone or without resources.  Help may be available for you and your baby.

Pregnancy can be a very stressful time physically, emotionally, and financially.  There are many extra expenses related to your care, prenatal care, preparing for a new baby, and then the care of the baby.

There are financial aid and other programs available for women who need assistance. State and local health departments, community free clinics, and other organizations offer medical care. There is also the special government program for women, infants, and children called WIC.  This program is available for eligible women in every state and territory in the U.S. WIC provides assistance with food, nutritional counseling, and access to health services.

After your baby is born, health insurance can also be available through your state and InsureKidsNow.gov.  This program benefits children under age 18 who do not have insurance. You may also want to consider the Early Head Start program  for after your baby is born.  You can also talk to a social worker at your local hospital or local social service agency for resource information.

Birthright International supports girls and women who are distressed by an unplanned pregnancy and are looking for alternatives to an abortion. Hotline, free pregnancy tests, medical assistance, legal assistance, financial assistance, educational assistance, maternity and baby clothes, housing assistance, and referrals to social agencies are all available.

WIC provides nutritious foods, nutrition counseling, and referrals to health and other social services to participants at no charge. WIC serves low-income pregnant, postpartum and breastfeeding women, and infants and children up to age 5 who are at nutrition risk. Pregnant or postpartum women, infants, and children up to age 5 are eligible. They must meet income guidelines, a State residency requirement, and be individually determined to be at "nutrition risk" by a health professional.

The program is available in all 50 states.  This is an excellent program and resource for a woman who is planning to parent her child.
