I need insurance

I just found out that I'm pregnant I'm 6 weeks and 3 days but I'm a college student. I don't have a job because I was in school full time and I don't have support from my mother anymore. I don't know how to get insurance for myself and I'm scared I won't be able to get any. I need help.

I'm scared and I'm tired I don't know what to do anymore and I need help. And this morning sickness and nausea is really messing me up. I don't know what to do anymore and I'm stressing out.

summer,  you're 19 and a college student.  I'm sure you must be able to figure out how to get the link listed above - it also took me less than a minute to come up with this:

https://commonhelp.virginia.gov/access/accessController?id=0.8771532287138195

It's commonhelp,  that is the umbrella for ALL social services provided by the government in Virginia and it easily walks you through the eligibility/application process.

You sound too overwhelmed right now to even figure out how to do this - do you have anyone at all supporting you?  If you choose to keep this baby you're going to have to do a LOT of advocating for yourself and your baby.

Ask a clinic or maybe even your school counselor/academic advisor to help you apply.
