Where Am I Going to Live?
Do you know where you and your baby are going to live? Can you
stay at home with your parents? Live with your partner's parents?
Find a place of your own? These are all questions that you will
need to discuss before the arrival of your baby. Depending on the
situation, involving your parents/guardians, your partner, and his
parents in the decision-making is a good idea.

Hungry? Where to get Food
During pregnancy it is important for you to eat right. And
sometimes eating the 'right' foods seems like it costs a lot of
money. You can visit your local food shelter for you and your
baby. For more information:
Emergency Food
Programs
There is also a program called
