No Money for food.

So me and my husband both had good jobs, He got lay off and a week later we found out we're expecting. I had really horrible morning sickness that I had to quit because I'm a massage therapists. We apply for Ahcccs and we only got 190 dollars month of food stamps. And its not enough because I live with my parents and since they are letting us live here for free and my mom takes care of my sisters kids they mostly eat the food I buy for me. And fear because I'm not eating right I could lose my baby or something. If im eating once a day or not healthy what could happened to my unborn baby? Im 14 weeks. Sorry for the long post. What should I Do?

Like others have suggested, apply for WIC, you get your coupons on your very first appt. Very helpful. Fruits, cereals, juice, milk, eggs, bread, beans. And when baby comes, formula

I would put the food where they cant get it. But if it goes missing thats when i would have a talk with your parents an tell them whats goin on. Your parents should understand that you buy healthy food an thats what you want to eat an you shouldnt have to worry about them stealing your food. Or just go an buy the food you are goin to eat that day.

Apply for wic it will help with some of the food. And give you what you need. Also talk with your parents they will want to help and make sure you eat properly. I went through all that with my fist. She is 10 And Healthy AND Happy!

Buy food for yourself and put your name on it. Or put it in your room so no one else eats it.
