Answer 1

Ask your mom if you have insurance and that should cover you. If not you can always go to your local health and human services department.

Answer 2

I'm not sure what state you live in but almost all of them have free insurance for babies kids.  In PA we have that CHIP insurnace, or you can call your welfare office and get Medical Assistance.  You don't have to be on welfare to get some of the benefits of it.  When I got pregnant I was working but didn't have any medical insurance and I got my whole pregnancy taken care of by medical assistance, then the baby was covered for 6 months after she was born and then went on CHIP. I also think it's good to have life insurance too, I got all kinds of stuff in the mail from Gerber after the baby was born. They have life insurance for only $9.54 a month. The rate stays the same until the baby, or kid is 18 and then it goes up to like $12 or something like that.

Answer 4

Yes, your parents insurance should cover your child. I hate to tell you this, but you probably could not afford insurance. If you can, try to get on some kind of state assistance since you are so young. Insurance, if you do not have a job, is EXTREMELY expensive (I don't know how much, but I make $55,000 a year and I couldn't afford it with the rest of my bills).

BTW - good for you for keeping the baby. It will be tough, but your baby will probably be the best thing that ever happens for you.  My sister also had a baby at 17 and that baby is now 13 and is the best kid in the whole world...

Good luck!

Answer 5

you may be able to qualify for government medical assistance.  

Answer 6

You're probably still on your parents' insurance. It will cover your child.
