You need to look into your state's medicaid programs. In Oklahoma, we have a program called SoonerCare, which basically pays for everything for all the prenatal car, hospital bills and the first year of the Babies life doctor bills and such. It is income based, but it's doubtful you make enough to disqualify you, and since your not married, she would be the qualifyer. Also look into the WIC program. that will cover Formula if she doesn't breast-feed or certian types of food for her (the mom) if she does. Even if you have insurance, look into the program as even insurance doesn't cover everything and you will need all the money you can get. Its a great thing having kids, I should now, I have 3! and I have utilized WIC and Soonercare for 2 of them. Its worth it and not in any way charity. It is there for the people who need it.
