Hi there, I recently moved to Columbus and found out that I’m pregnant. I am 99% sure I will be doing this alone. I make just enough to cover my bills but don’t qualify for any assistance at least just by myself with my income. This will be my first baby, I haven’t told anyone yet. I wanted to know if there are any resources in Columbus for single moms, childcare options, etc. I work 8-5 Monday-Friday. My work does not have mat leave but I have about 200 hours of vacation and sick time already saved up. Any resources would be appreciated
CelebrateOne is basically a one-stop shop for anything pregnancy/baby related. 10/10
https://www.columbus.gov/Government/Mayors-Office/Initiatives/CelebrateOne/CelebrateOne-Resources-for-Families#section-1
Cap4kids is a reliable of collection of resources too. There's an almost overwhelming amount of information there so I def recommend trying celebrate first.
https://www.cap4kids.org/columbus/pregnancy-resources-and-infants/
seconding celebrate one. if you need help affording prenatal care, Helping Hands Free Clinic can connect you with a woman’s health doctor
If you need newborn clothes diapers etc don’t hesitate to dm me we just had a baby November who’s already outgrown stuff
Same. Some new ice packs, pads, etc from delivery too. FB marketplace for diapers, toys, changing tables, other furniture, etc. it has been extremely helpful at saving us money - lots of quality items, and most people are negotiable if you just ask first.
We've got a changing pad and crib with mattress available
Our daughter just turned one and we are SWIMMING in stuff. Please let me know if you need anything. Lots of gender neutral tea/bobos choses/hanna Anderson stuff.
Fr that sounds tough, being a single mom is no joke and you got this for sure
I would recommend applying for Medicaid to cover yourself during pregnancy. As of January, 2026 a pregnant woman with a household size of 2 (baby counts in the household size) can earn up to $3,525 per month or $22.03 per hour working 40 hours per week (200% fpl) and still quality for Medicaid. Once found eligible, you and the baby would continue to quality at minimum until the baby turns 1 year old.
Adding to this OP, you should be able to apply for WIC- Women, Infants, & Children. You’ll get an EBT card that allows you to get certain foods in certain amounts, you can purchase formula with it (I know in 2017 the standard was Gerber formula but we got an RX to change it to Enfamil for ours), and iirc you’re able to use this benefit until your child is 5 years old.
I would suggest getting in touch with ODJFS, there’s some wonderful people there that’d be happy to help however they can, I’ve never had a bad experience with an ODJFS worker
Moms2B at OSU
Ohio State (and I believe Ohio Health has similar) has a program for people with lower incomes to get health care support (worth a check even if you think you won't qualify): https://wexnermedical.osu.edu/patient-and-visitor-guide/financial-assistance They should also have social workers who can help you navigate support avenues.
Welcome to Columbus and best of luck on this journey.
Just in case you aren’t aware, legally you’re entitled to 12 weeks unpaid leave. Not helpful if you need to funds, but just wanted to mention it.
If she hasn’t been there for a year before she’s due or if the company doesn’t have more than 50 employees then unfortunately she’s not owed FMLA. Maternity benefits in this country suck
I know I could take fmla, but it doesn’t look like it will be possible. I’m already thinking about how I could bring the baby to work
don't bring the baby to work
People bring babies to work all over… bring the baby if you can. That’s wonderful.
Not sure why you are getting downvoted. I would encourage you explore your company's leave offerings - not just read it yourself. If you have a 3rd party leave provider, call them. If you don't, get time with your HR rep to talk with them about what you may or may not be eligible for. FMLA requires a year of employment, with an hour requirement. If your company is large enough, then even if you don't qualify now, you may in the future. Additionally, FMLA can be intermittent and is protected. If your company qualifies for it, then it is a good idea to explore the options. Don't leave this to your own research if possible.
Apply for title 20 that's free or very reduced childcare. Depending on your income you'll probably qualify for caresource(free insurance). Call the Franklin county CSEA and get the ball rolling for child support CSEA might be able to give you some other resources.
Right now I make $19.38 an hour. I feel like I may make too much
You need to apply for everything. The lowest I’ve heard from friends is $400/week, unsubsidized.
$400/week for daycare? That's about average, but there are definitely cheaper options. State pays providers about $250/week last I checked and there are centers that charge that to self pay as well. Rarely less unless a church/charity is involved though.
You do make too much for free childcare but I've heard you have to apply multiple times to even get it. You may get reduced childcare like less than $100 a week.
She actually does not make too much for the program.
This hourly rate, calculated at 40 hours a week for 52 weeks, actually is a qualifying income for title 20 - barely, but it does qualify. The upper limit for monthly income currently is $3,407.00.
Friend makes $15/hr she was denied title 20 a couple times now. $19.38 isn't going to get it done unfortunately.
Obviously know nothing about your friend's situation but there are lots of reasons to get denied that have nothing to do with income. Eligibility income limits are on the Department of Children and Youth website: https://childrenandyouth.ohio.gov/for-families/early-care-education/child-care-choice-program
Basic math puts this hourly rate (barely) in eligibility for assistance.
This is a new program just for those people who do make too much to qualify for the regular daycare assistance program. The friend probably applied before this program was available. The regular daycare assistance program has a limit of 145% of the federal poverty level (fpl) which is $29,650 for a household of 2. Most programs are based on a percentage of the FPL and OP’s income would put her as just under 200% of the FPL for a household of 2. Most are based on gross income, but a few are adjusted gross income. I was slightly over income for Medicaid once, but I was contributing to my 401k which lowered my adjusted gross income by that contribution and qualified due to that.
There’s also a new program launching called Child Care Cred Program where some Ohio-based employers and employees can apply for the program together to help with daycare costs using a cost-sharing model (40% employers, 40% employees and 20% state). The application deadline is May 1 and I don’t know if a baby would have to be born by then nor whether the employer would qualify and be willing to participate. It also has only been approved for a year.
It can be hard to navigate all of the changes which is why I would recommend applying and searching for new programs every so often if you are struggling.
You can call 211 and get access to a lot of resources. Food pantries can help a lot and many don’t have strict income requirements and just want to help people who are struggling. There are also baby pantries which can help with a small amount of diapers and formula and often have a large selection of gently used clothes, crib sheets, shoes and can even sometimes help with larger items as they get donated. The one I went to when my twins were babies had a request list and if you needed something like a crib you could get put on the list and contacted if one is donated.
The stuff aspect can get really overwhelming and expensive quickly, but also you really don’t need all of the things. Cribs sold in the US have to meet safety standards whether they are the budget brands sold at Walmart and Target or the Rolls Royce of baby cribs sold at the specialty baby stores and they are going to quickly outgrow it but not before leaving some teeth marks. I even preferred the inexpensive travel high chairs that attach to a regular dining chair. It took up less space and I could take it with me when visiting friends and family. The same with car seats and there are some car seat safety programs who can help provide a car seat. It’s been a while since my kids were in diapers, but I liked the Target brand ones and would wait to stock up when they had their buy 4 boxes and get a free gift card sale. Babies don’t care if their clothes are second hand and my daughter never noticed how many of her first few Christmas’ had gifts from the thrift store. I would feel insecure when I’d see those Pinterest worthy perfectly coordinated nurseries, but now that I’m older that part of my life was such a small amount of time and that stuff doesn’t matter.
Plus there’s still time to build your career and even when the economy can be discouraging you don’t know what opportunities may open up in the future. It was nice to redecorate her room once things got a little better for us because I didn’t hesitate to part with the mismatched theme. Babies are just little blobs who don’t appreciate fine decor, but toddlers usually think everything is the best thing ever and will get excited to redo their room. Childcare and medical expenses will likely be the biggest hurdles, so I’d focus on solving those issues. It can be hard to find a spot in a daycare center, so it’s never too early to start figuring out your options.
You are right!! My mother did this. Also you can get WIC as well. Fortunately Columbus has a ton of assistance programs for single mothers
I don’t know why you’re getting downvoted.
The maximum for childcare assistance is $14-$15. You have to be at or around 145% of the FPL to qualify initially and you’ll be able to make up to 200% afterward.
Try for CHIP & WIC. I used to work at ODM on Town St. Those are your options right now unless you’re willing to downgrade your pay. The regular MCD (not CHIP) insurance has more strict guidelines. It sucks.
And food stamps as well!!
Motherful is wonderful.
https://www.motherful.org
Thank you so much. This is exactly what I was looking for
Also came here to recommend Motherful.. They do incredible work.
Came here to say this. Sending care OP
Clintonville resource center
The Ohio benefits website has a benefits calculator you can use to see what you qualify for. 19.38 an hour while being pregnant would probably net you benefits. The calculator is for food, medical, and childcare assistance.
They have to be @ or below 145% FPL for childcare assistance which is abysmally low. OP might be able to get CHIP and WIC. I used to work there, you have to really be struggling to get the benefits that are actually helpful.
If you go to the cap4kids website in the Columbus area they have resources on there. 19 isn’t a lot to cover both you and a child, I’d imagine you should qualify when you have the baby.
Check out Motherful. I’ve heard they have good resources for single moms specifically.
Seconding Motherful. Very kind and helpful to single moms without making you feel bad ❤️
Little Bottoms Free Store
Bloom: a free store, will have a lot of baby and child items. If you are comfortable, you might want to check with churches in the area to see if there’s any assistance they can offer. My church collects hygiene products, diapers and wipes, etc and gives some of the donations to different groups (the Clintonville resource center being one).
If you just barely don't qualify as a single person, you may qualify as an expecting mother. There are different enrollment qualifications dependent on health situations. I would suggest visiting the Franklin county JFS and talking to someone. Medicaid can be available.
Be very careful not to go to a fake reproductive healthcare clinic except as an absolute last resort. You can search if a place is fake with exposefakeclinics.com
I already see some recs people have made of some
This is the first I've heard of a fake reproductive clinic. What does that even mean? Not asking with any tone or anything, I'm genuinely curious
They are typically places run by religious orgs that are pro-life and heavily espouse those ideologies in appointments. They are also typically not licensed healthcare professionals.
Oh alright, you mean specifically when seeking abortion I assume. I thought you meant in the case of looking for resources to keep and raise a baby.
I was thinking you meant there were clinics out there that advertised help and resources to care for and raise a baby, but then didn't 😂 and was wondering what the heck the alternative was haha
Yes and no, most women’s health clinics offer way more services than just abortions. They will advertise “pregnancy counseling” and it’s a bunch of pro-lifers harassing women, not only ones who are actively seeking abortions.
The thing is many of these other services have lots of problems of their own. I once went to one by accident for for sti testing and they gave me misinformation
that’s crazy and it should be illegal to advertise as a healthcare facility and then give people misinformation. Very strange behavior
I don't understand the motive to harass those not actively seeking abortion! Like what else would they care about? If someone comes in seeking pregnancy counseling, I'd assume that person was coming in to learn about resources available to help with pregnancy. As in, they're not seeking an abortion. Which you'd think would be enough for a pro-lifer?
Edited for typo
They tend to assume everyone coming to them is seeking abortion, so they harass and love bomb and all the things and once they’re 100% sure you’re not going to abort, they drop you and don’t give you any more resources or services. They tend to have the philosophy that the goal is just to “keep babies alive” so unless they think you’re still on the fence, you’re not worth their time.
They'll lie and tell you that you're further along than you are, or that a pregnancy is viable even if it isnt. And aren't trained in ultrasound and prenatal testing, so they can't catch health problems early enough.
If that's true, that is extremely scary and absolutely sounds against the law to provide medical advice without the adequate education.
It IS against the law to provide medical advice if you are not a licensed and board-certified medical professional.
There is also no "if" here. These pro-birth groups do indeed do this.
By the way, your "skepticism" and use of "if" are huge red flags.
I'm sorry? I'm not the type to immediately think whatever I'm told is true, lol. Nod to your slightly aggressive accusations. Not all of us are gullible, some of us form our own opinions after asking questions.
If you can't answer questions sans rudeness, look inward.
Ah, there it is. Sweetheart, I grew up in a Republican family. I know how y'all operate. It is well documented that these groups lie to pregnant people.
Try responding without parroting the typical MAGAt digs.
You couldn't be further from the truth. Check your instruments and recalibrate.
Knowledge doesn't come without asking questions. So, I really don't know why you woke up with such hostility today but go back to bed and try again after a few more cycles.
Knowledge is gained by looking at what AFAB folks who experienced these places say about them.
This is how people on the left appear to be hostile and drive others away. I am on the left and way past childbearing. I don’t feel like I know enough about these fake centers because it isn’t something I encounter or have a need to research at this time. If someone is asking questions, and you know the answer, then why not just answer the question? Why put someone through your purity tests? If you don’t want to engage then just ignore. There is no need to be hateful to people who may have a different background or upbringing. You’ll never sway anyone to your side that way.
Physicians Care Connection and Step One For A Healthy Pregnancy has a ton of resources. It’s run by really great people.
https://www.pcchealth.org/healthy
https://www.pcchealth.org/social
I was set up with a community healthcare worker through my medicaid that I got on in a similar scenario. She helped me with finding any/all resources I needed when I got pregnant and their services are free.
You might qualify for Medicaid. If you qualify, you’ll be covered your whole pregnancy and then you and baby for a year after the birth.
I'm also a single mom. When my kids were daycare age, I made too much money for fed/state subsidies but not enough to support use. I was able to get subsidized child care for a time through a program called Champions for Children. I believe the funds came from companies and not the public. I was also able to get a reduced rate by enrolling my kids as "typical role models" in a daycare center run by the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities.
Bloom free store is wonderful for baby supplies, clothes and occasional diapers! You have to sign up on their website. They will send out emails that let you know when shopping days are and you grab a timeslot. :)
We're moving out of USA next month, and plan to give away most of our things and baby's stuff- clothes, play gym, bouncer, bottles etc. DM me if u need anything .
Set up a baby register on Amazon and post it here and in mom groups. Provide a contact means just on case s person finds an item or need elsewhere and wants to get it you.
You can do this. I had my son 10 years ago on that same income: too much for any real assistance, not enough for any real sustenance. But the boy is 10 now, which means, I did it, and you can too. I'll tell you this: I have found columbus to be a strong inter-web of mothers. There are resources available and ways to get by. DM anyone who offers, me included, to vent, pick brains, be encouraged, get direction (if any of us had answers lol). We are here for you!
Im not sure if you can get anything right now since you just found out your pregnant. Most of the benefits kick in after the baby is born.
Apply for WIC. You should qualify being a single mother.
Little Bottoms Free Store allows pregnant moms to shop
There are plenty of places for abortions
https://www.plannedparenthood.org/health-center/ohio/columbus/43213/east-columbus-surgical-center-2335-91230/abortion
I was in OP’s exact position and my only option was to terminate. I made just enough money to be disqualified for any benefits, but not enough money to survive and pay my rent and do all of it alone.
It really sucked, I was ready to be a mom but I had no family to help and no income to support a baby. I was told I would need to make $10 an hour to qualify for any benefits- this was back in 2022. I was devastated.
It all really sucks and I’m sorry OP. The journey is going to be hard if you don’t have a lot of family/friends to help 😔💔 I feel for you.
I’m very sorry you went through that. I’m not going to lie, it has crossed my mind. But I found out at 14 weeks because my periods are irregular anyways so I’m set on sticking it out somehow
hug OP don’t blame yourself for broken systems. Keep it positive. Love and accept love. It’s harder than people think it is.
I have some nice quality breast pumps (one is hands free) and newborn cloth diapers if you’re interested. I also have a swing I could donate. Washable breast pads for leaking and such. Also, idk about your size, but I might have some maternity clothes you could use. DM me if/when you’re ready.
I have some glass bottles, bottle warmer, and other odds and ends. My youngest is about to turn 1.
That’s so hard!! I’m here if you need a friend 💗 I believe it’s possible to do it, just resources might be scarce which is awful 😔 hang in there
They never asked for it.
And if she had? She'd get torn to shreds by anti-choice twats like you. At least someone has the compassion to provide the information to a woman who has said in multiple responses to others that she cannot afford to provide for a kid.
no implication this person is anti choice - we shouldnt go throwing around accusations because we don't like what people say
Their comment is indication.
No it isn't. There's still stigma behind abortions. Even if you're entirely in support of them it can still catch you off guard. It's a pretty serious thing.
I've always been pro-choice but I still saw that comment and went "Woah what dude she said she wanted to keep it" before thinking anything else. Even if it's a valid point.
Its a resource for the best statistical outcome
[deleted]
It could become an unfortunate option OP has to make. It sucks, but this is also the absolute worst time to have a child, let alone without any help or resources.
Also, there is no need to be a bully. Your comment was extremely ableist.
[deleted]
Why would you ask that, and then frame it as if being autistic is the only reason that they would say what they did?
It's the way that you asked. Also, the fact that you asked.
And yeah, as someone on the spectrum, it did come across as bullying.
[deleted]
I am aware. Please do not talk down to me like I am stupid.
[deleted]
Offering resources for literally any specific medical route to someone who hasn’t indicated they’re interested is super strange. In fact, I’d consider it rude in this case, when she’s obviously planning to keep the pregnancy.
ETA: Saying this take is “anti-choice” is fucking idiotic. You can be pro-choice and not be socially stunted, morons. In the post, she made it pretty clear that she’s thinking beyond whether or not to keep the pregnancy. Resources for single mothers is what is more appropriate to share.
It's not rude. It's not strange. She's said, multiple times, that she cannot afford to provide for a kid. She's also said in a response to this person's comment that she feels obligated to keep it because she's at 14 weeks.
Nothing in her post or responses indicates that she's happy or excited about this. No one would offer abortion resources to someone who was happy and excited.
Take your anti-choice tripe and shove it.
Anti-choice??!!??? You’re fucking ridiculous. It’s not anti-choice to read the fucking room. I am so far to the opposite that part of my free time is spent volunteering and advocating for people’s choice.
Read the room? Dude. Read her responses to other comments. She doesn't want it. The next best thing is to provide resources for giving the kid up for adoption.
It's not fair to her or the kid to force her into poverty when she's just barely skating by as it is. It's not fair to her to saddle her with a kid she doesn't want. It's not fair to any kid to force a parent that doesn't want them to keep them.
Why on EARTH would you expect me to base my reply to the post on reading other comment threads?
Regardless, all of that is up to her. What I said is that from her post where she is clearly seeking resources for single mothers, she seems to intend on keeping the pregnancy. In the same way that it would be inappropriate to leave a comment about resources for single mothers on a post where the person is clearly expressing a desire to find a clinic to terminate, this too is inappropriate.
So yeah, read the fucking room.
Compassion for a pregnant person who doesn't want the kid and feels obligated is inappropriate. Got it.
You’re not understanding, and that’s fine. I am currently pregnant. I am seeing this from a perspective that isn’t your own.
Pregnant with a kid you want. Which a perspective very different from OP's.
From her POST TEXT, I disagree and it is unclear.
It's not rude to remind someone of their options and share resources.
“Remind someone” we all know about this option. If someone asks for information about termination, it is appropriate to provide it in full. If not, especially if they’re talking about keeping the pregnancy, that’s insane.
You can't provide for a kid, so why are you keeping it?
It's OP's choice and no one else's. I'm pro-choice both ways, and I hope you are as well.
Read her responses to others. She's not happy or excited. She doesn't want it. She feels like she has no options.
She didn't make a choice. The choice was made for her.
Because it's her choice
Read her other comments. She's neither happy nor excited. She feels obligated. A choice made under duress is not a choice any more than pestering someone into saying "yes" to sex is getting consent.
Yet a ton of people expect women in this exact situation to keep the kid nonetheless.
Those people are idiots. I have the same question as above
Who gets define what “provide” means? Culturally we have some high expectations for what we believe “provide” means, but what baby humans “need” for survival, isn’t necessarily what you classify as “provide.” In the US we only care if survival needs are met legally, will they live? Then we did good.
From just this post… that child will likely live, so culturally go ahead and have them.
Do I agree morally and ethically, probably not, but that’s the system so don’t shame someone who is just trying to do their best within shitty systems.
Don't be obtuse. You know damn well what "provide" means.The post itself and OP's responses spell it out pretty clearly that she is in no position financially to take care of a kid.
They also make it abundantly clear that she is not at all happy or excited about having a kid. She feels obligated.
Kids are outlandishly expensive. They are a financial bomb that obliterates financial stability. They are psychologically expensive. They are physically expensive for the pregnant person, just like a parasite.
I have tears in my eyes as I read the comments here. So many people reaching out to help and support the OP mom to be.
One of the many reasons I love Columbus.
Best wishes to OP.
From a place of love and being there as a single mom: What are you going to do after that 200 hours is up and you're back to work....baby gets sick and can't go to daycare? Hours off for doctors appointments? Complications during birth (you or little one)?
Needing time off the first year will come directly out of your paycheck. We think about pregnancy and birth, but truly that first year alone is so so fucking hard and it's 24/7. People who say they will help disappear.
That being said, never forget forget there's a light at the end of the tunnel and things do and WILL get better.
I wish you all the best ❤️
Might be a long shot, but many employers also offer childcare assistance options too.
However, if they don't offer maternity leave, they may not offer childcare assistance.
Ask the health department about a program called cribs for kids. They provide free pack n plays. Also ask about community baby showers. Some health departments do those and provide resources.
Definitely post in the various facebook groups based on where you live.
Congrats! Doing it alone is better than doing it with an unsupportive, inconsistent partner.
OSU MOMIPODS
I would definitely look into joining the momipods program for OSU. I work with several doctors and residents who run the program and they’ve provided a good amount of support and resources for patients. Once you’ve had your baby they will schedule you and baby’s appointments together so that you don’t have to go to separate appointments. Please feel free to DM if you have more questions.
I have a bunch of baby stuff that I’ve been holding onto since my son was born (he’s 4 now). DM me and I can let you know what I have and see if there’s anything you’d want/need! Ill go through everything as soon as I can 💜
Is there a Columbus mom Facebook group where mothers trade supplies and such. I could be wrong
Congratulations to you. Children are a blessing and I just feel like you’re going to be one hell of a mother. Best of luck to you and yours 🤎
The good thing is depending on your skill set, you can start applying for WFH jobs paying much more than you're currently making with full benefits, PTO, etc.
You can qualify for medicaid while pregnant. You can also get WIC and possibly EBT while pregnant too. Take advantage of any and everything you can qualify for, that's why it is there.
I have some old maternity clothes if you’re interested. They are large/extra large. I also have a bassinet with sheets if you’re interested.
I used to work in public benefits (SNAP, Medicaid, TANF)
Please apply for SNAP and Medicaid. Worst thing they will do is say no, but at $19/hr you will likely qualify. They consider rent/housing payments and utilities in their calculations for qualifications.
Medicaid will cover ALL prenatal visits and birth. My son also had a short NICU stay on Medicaid and it was 100% covered. It was a huge gift to be able to focus on his health when making decisions and not on the bill.
There is ZERO penalty for applying. Just apply and see if they can do anything for you :)
Planned parenthood provides a lot of health services regardless what your decision is on the pregnancy. From my friends who have kids - start looking NOW for daycare etc options when you have to go back to work.... many have wait lists or no availability.
Depending on income, you may qualify for home visits from a nurse during pregnancy and after birth. This is a great social/psychological support and offers tailored education about pregnancy and parenting. They also know a lot about linking you with material support you qualify for!
https://www.nationwidechildrens.org/your-visit/overnight-and-extended-stays/during-your-stay/family-support-services/maternal-infant-home-visitation-program
If you’ve been at your job long enough, you can get unpaid leave through FMLA. I would look that up. Also, you might not qualify for benefits as a single person but you will once you have a dependent. WIC is also for pregnant women, not just for after your child is here—so you should look into applying for that. Now that you are pregnant you may also qualify for Medicaid of you didn’t previously and need insurance.
Lots of resources out there to help you make sure you have what you need. Welcome to Columbus and good luck!
join a local buy nothing page on fb. they always have baby stuff gently used!
Columbus Public Health can help with a free crib, discounted car seat and free childbirth classes!
Columbus early learning centers is what my sister used for childcare. They are decently priced and gave my niece an excellent foundation for her education.
Moms2B at osu is an awesome resource! I volunteer for them and am happy to get you set up with their services if you’d like:) please feel free to message me!
Hi, I'd be happy to dm you some resources as well as get you connected with some people that might be able to help
I have a 5 week old boy who has outgrown newborn clothes. I also have newborn diapers too. Im happy to connect and provide you with these items if it will help, please reach out!
I do know being pregnant can qualify you for Medicaid automatically especially if your insurance isn't adequate. At least it did when I was pregnant and working full time back in 2016. Definitely look into all resources. Medicaid, WIC, Motherful, Food Pantries, Snap, and apply for childcare vouchers.
i thought the same thing but if she moved here for work and has 200 vacation hours im guessing she makes too much to qualify
Never hurts to apply for temporary help. Health department will have leads for you also and maybe a car seat if needed. Get you a social worker to help you (best place is the hospital or via your obstetrician by letting them know your situation). Congrats and Good luck
Go to pregnancy decision health center for a free pregnancy confirmation and if you want the free ultrasound. They will supply you with prenatals throughout your whole pregnancy and they give out information for help! They offer a program where you go to classes can be online or in person they last 30-60 minutes each class, each class you attend you build up points then can use those points to get baby supplies. If you attend every class you can get a years worth of diapers and wipes, they also have car seats, strollers, cribs, clothes etc. they also help you out with i believe 6 pieces of clothes every trimester to help you not have to purchase maternity clothes.
DM me if you need some baby items. I have some things you can have and maybe can help point you in the right direction for daycare options near you.
Sign up for all the free stuff out there.

Thats a fake clinic
Just because they don’t offer abortions doesn’t make it a fake clinic.
