Your doctor should give you a referral to wic and if you go down to a county office you can apply for aid food stamps insurance etc...

Wic is for women infants and children.  I signed up as soon as I discovered I was pregnant. In Wisconsin I get 6 1/2 gallons of milk, 3 48 oz bottles of juice. Loaf of bread, some cereal,  peanut butter, veggies and another $10 worth of fruit and veggies each month.

It is a supplemental nutrition program. They give you credit to buy certain foods. You can apply at any time. I just applied today and I'm already 38 weeks, but will keep getting it once my baby is born (for both of us).
