You need proof of pregnancy, two forms of ID, birth certificate and proof of income. Expect to have your finger pricked to get your Iron checked, and you will be weighed and talked to by a nutritionist about your diet.
It wasnt that bad, when my husband and I went we were not there for too long, but you need to make an appointment, walk ins have to wait super long usually.
The best way to learn how to reach your hand down to help someone in need, is to have been in need and have reached up your hand. <3 some people will judge you, but you cant control their actions, you can only control yours. Just ignore it, and be the best person you can be!

Quoting veggiehugger:" Yeah, I know you're right of course. And they'll judge me for being young anyways so oh well!"
