I found a nice place down the street from my cousin, and she will co-sign for me! (Im so lucky to have her. I dont know her screen name but she is on here here name is Vanessa) Its 620 a month (not including electricity but everything else is included) and I will be walking distance from her.
If I look for anything cheaper it will take me to bad neighborhoods (I could go to 400 or so a month but far away.)
I will look in to assistance. I wish I didnt have to but if thats my only choice I will have to take it. Its so scary!!!!! I have never lived alone. But I am ready! I am ready to do whatever it takes to take care of my baby!!!

i know this may sound silly... but pray  
for 1.. God will NEVER throw something your way that you will not be able to handle.
for 2. For you and you bf.. this is just a test to see just how much stress your love can take. It will all be okay <3
For 3. God will give you an answer and help you through it all.

Your parents will come around... and regret what they are doing! Just keep your head up, faith strong, and if you have to set them down, and tell them, as parents, they are supposed to support you and be there for you through any and everything. and it truelly hurts that they would want you to murder your child... in the body or out... takin life away is still murder! Good luck and i hope you happiness and joy... I will pray for you and my inbox is always open for any help <3

Awww God works in mysterious ways. That is good that she came and told you that. I felt it and felt God's love and message working through her.

I'm so sorry to hear that, you need support more than ever right now. I suggest your boyfriend tries to work as much as he can so he can get a place. That way if your parents kick you guys out you wont be on the streets. Don't let them force you into an abortion, you will never live it down, especially if you don't want one. My only suggestion is work as hard as you can and save up enough to have a small apartment or home. If they are treating you like this, the best thing you can do for yourself is to get away for awhile, take care of yourself and your little one. Eventually they will cool down and realize how terrible they treated you (I hope). I am so sorry to hear about your situation, I so wish I could help you more than just offer advice. I wish you the best <3

Aww, trust me I know what you're going through. My dad hasn't spoken to me at all since the day after I found out I was pregnant. I'm due in 2 1/2 weeks & found out at 4 1/2. It's hard at first, but you have to what you can for your babygirl. Who knows? Your mom may come around, it just may take a while. If you ever need someone to talk to you can PM me. There are a lot of wonderful ladies on this site that will give you advice & talk to you when you need someone.

you ont be able to get section 8 but you can get foodstamps for sure! and lots of other help!!!

I was 17 when I got pregnant. My parents were pissed. Until they saw A on the ultrasound screen.

Do not get an abortion unless it is what YOU want. Nobody else. Except maybe your BF.

They can't legally kick you out.

I am sorry you are going theough this. What your grandmother said was not necessary. You sound like you are sooo strong, so dont let people put you down. You seem to want your baby, so keep her! I think you'll do good as mother  .....now I can tell you about how mt grandmother reacted. She flipped out on me, I was afraid to tell her above anyone else. I got told I was selfish, that I couldnt support my child (even though bd and I both were working and we were living on our own for 4 months, which would have been longer except I couldn't get my place until I turned 1 . She still tried for weeks to convince me to give my child up. I flat out told her no. I basically also told her that I wasnt asking for anything except her to love me. Id already been graduated and would soon begin my classes. Well it took almost 6 weeks for her to realize id be keeping him, and eventually it came to her actually being supportive of me. Now I am 26 weeks pregnant and id told her when I was about 7 weeks. She even send me vitamins, and maternity clothes. She still wishes id consider giving him up for adoption....but she does not bring it up anymore. I am sorry your going through this. I hope the best for you. Feel free to pm me anytime.

2000 is eenough for a baby. Maybe you have family that will give you hand me downs. Thats what we got all weve had to buy is diappers and wipes and DD is 8 months

Good luck praying for you.
