Budgeting for an Unplanned Pregnancy

1. Assess your current financial situation: Start by reviewing your income, expenses, and savings. Identify non-essential expenses you can cut back on to make room for pregnancy-related costs.
2. Create a pregnancy budget: Factor in essential expenses, including:

• Prenatal care and medical costs (check if you qualify for government assistance or reduced-cost clinics)
• Baby essentials (diapers, clothing, car seat, crib, etc.)
• Maternity clothing and supplies
• Possible childcare expenses

3. Explore community and government assistance programs: There are many programs and resources available to help expectant mothers, including:

• WIC (Women, Infants, and Children Program) for food assistance
• Medicaid for pregnancy-related medical care
• Local charities, churches, and other organizations that offer free maternity and baby supplies/support

4. Take advantage of free and discounted resources: First Care offers free educational courses, parenting programs, and material assistance to help ease financial burdens. When you take our parenting classes, you can earn points to buy diapers, gently used baby items, and other essentials.
