There are many resources available to you. A good place to start would be a visit to your local pregnancy care center.
The volunteers there can give you important information about medical care, housing, food, child support, day care, employment, as well as legal and financial assistance. They will guide you through the process and support you for as long
as you need them. They will not try to make your decision for you. Most pregnancy care centers offer free maternity clothes, baby clothes, and diapers.
One of the hardest aspects of single parenting is the feeling of isolation and loneliness. If you are not receiving emotional support from your family or the baby’s father, you should really seek out where your support is.
In the best of circumstances parenting is difficult. Initially your plans may need to be postponed but don’t give up on your dreams. You can have it all, it may just take a little longer to achieve.
Questions you will need to answer...
- Whose support can I count on
- Where will I live
- How will I support myself and my child
- What about child support
- What about material assistance
- What about child care
