    Being pregnant medicaid won't cut you off BUT
    Are you on cash assistance and food stamps?

    No I'm not.. I just get medicaid.. but he does get unemployment from when he did work.. will that affect it any

    No it won't effect your medicaid but if he was working and his work had a medical plan and you got married then you would be added to his insurance.
    How do you plan on financially supporting the baby?

    He is going to have to get more steady work.

    The work he does is very very unpredicable.. he could work for a couple months and be off work for three to four months.. so when he isn't working we live off his unemployment...

    Does he have his own apartment? Do you live with him or your parents?

    I live with him on and off.. but I mostly live with my mother right now.. he lives with his grandparents and he has been looking for a place for me and him after the baby is born

    Would it be okay if you live with his grandparents too after the baby is born? Unless he saves up a good bit of money it isn't easy finding a place and starting with no money.

    That's what we were planning on doing was living with them until we find our own place.

    Do not apply for cash assistance through welfare because even if you are living with him they will make you go to child support court and deduct money from him to pay child support.
    So you don't get anywhere with that anyway, just a hassle.
    I think you can apply for food stamps and WIC though. Definitely go for WIC that will help with formula and later, cheese, cereal, eggs and juice.
