Answer 1

Go to the welfare office and apply for general relief or general assistance in some states. Tell them you don't want to stay and get money from their county but you have no way of getting home. If you meet their rules they will help you get back home.  

Answer 2

call 2-1-1 from a land line.  they can help you find help for medicaid or what you qualify for, utility/rental or security deposit help, help you find wic and social services, diapers, formula, clothes, food, etc.

Things will get better.

Answer 3

OK, you need to contact the NC chapter of The Gabriel Project - here - http://www.stmichaelcary.org/ministry/ga...   If you decide to move home, whereever that is, here's the national contact list:  http://www.gabrielproject.com/contacts.h...

The Gabriel Project tries to provide the needed emotional, physical and spiritual support during pregnancy and after the birth of the baby as long as help is needed.   They will provide support for pregnant women, regardless of age, marital status, religion, race, etc., including medical, housing, clothing, whatever.

And a bit of advice . . .if the father isn't in a position to support a family, marrying him just because you're pregnant, is probably not a good idea.

Answer 4

I would suggest planned parenthood, they often can help you find health insurance for women in your situation.  There are also free clinics that can often be of help, I am not sure of North Carolina and where you should go exactly.

Just remember a hospital cannot deny medical services when you don't have insurance so that is always a last resort.  Maybe the father should get a job that offers immediate health insurance so that way at least your child will be covered and you when you are getting married.  I know Darden Restaurants (Olive Garden, Red Lobster) and other places like Target offer immediate health insurance from the first week of hire.  

Moving home is probably your best option that way you have help through all of this.

Good Luck and hope this helps!

I'm not from North Carolina, but this website should direct you to the local office.  At least get that done as soon as you can.  Then you might want to try a temp agency for a job.  It will get harder and harder to find work as you start to show, but temp agencies usually don't care.  It will help with the bills for a while.
