questions about welfare while pregnant

So I am pregnant and I just applied for medical benefits and food stamps through the county assistance office and I am really embarrassed about it because I am very prideful. But I am out of a job and have no income what so ever and was wondering if it would be even worse if I applied for additional benefits such as Cash Assistance?
