My baby is barely kicking, I did all I could that people listed for her to be active but nothing. She barely kicked 3…

and when they call for a interview explain your situation and most likely you will get approved because you are barely making it with just food stamps alone @jerin

Go on the website tomorrow and apply for it. it won't hurt to try @jerin

oh ok. I don't think I signed up for tanf..I didn't know what that was. I was more focused on foodstamps

you should go on their website and apply for tanf to see if you qualify which you should be able to qualify for it @jerin

you know when you go to the store and you go to buy your items with your food stamps card and it says food or cash. the cash part of for cash assistance

Ask your worker. I don't know if they have it in Texas

It's called tanf here in Texas it's where you get cash assistance that helps with food, clothing , and other things and they put it on your food stamps card

I don't know what cash aid is.. @leahsmommi

They don't have cash aid there??? @jerin, or do you get it?

I went to a soup kitchen once and they didn't ask any questions @jerin

look up a soup kitchen near you and see if they do breakfast and lunch and try to go so you can get something to eat twice a day at least @jerin

only when I was little

have u ever been to a soup kitchen ? @jerin

look up soup kitchens in your area. they serve lunch everyday @jerin

@jerin fyi, like i said i wasnt trying to be rude or say im better than you in any way i was posing a question 🖒👌 ive been in really shitty situations and have done my best to survive too sweetheart... i know im lucky to have the life i do now... food banks help a lot and womens aid help too... make sure to get some BC lined up 😂🖒✌

you are more then welcome @jerin

I qualified for wic and food stamps with my income which is helping a lot so you can get help as well @jerin

Thank you so much @firsttimemommy84 for helping all you can. I do appreciate it alot!!!

you will be able to get food for yourself until your baby comes then when ur baby comes it will be for the baby and maybe a little bit for you

@b3autifulm3ss my SO lost his job and hasn't had a job in almost 4 months in my pregnancy and he barely got one finally but our water pipes and water heater broke/busted so his checks goes to fixing that along with rent which we have to pay twice a month. Not everyone is in middle class and not everyone has everything they need when life seems good. Sometimes life happens and we have to take risks and survive the best we can

if you are on medicaid for pregnant women you will get wic and plus they will see that you are barely surviving on ur bf's income @jerin

keep on calling wic and get a appointment @jerin

I've been in those shoes where I barely had any food to eat and I went a whole day without anything and this was last summer when I didn't even know I was pregnant and I believe I was about month pregnant @jerin

They said they would get back to me. I've been calling. I'm at the point I have to go down there again

@jerin i dont mean to be rude but how are you going to be able to take care of a child if you dont have money for food? even if you breastfeed, you have to have food to keep ur supply up... 😐

have you tried to get on wic ?@jerin

I don't have a car let alone money to do so @firsttimemommy84 I'm barely surviving off of foodstamps and what my SO can scrape from his check for food for the house which is like $20

call l&d honey

have u been to any food pantries in your area to get food ?@jerin

I don't. all I have in my kitchen is water and chicken and crackers thats literally it

do u have any candy or anything sweet to eat ? @jerin

Thank you to all!!!

ok thank you!

put ice in it @jerin

Drink really cold water and lay on ur left side

all I have is water. I don't have much until foodstamps comes in

or something sweet if you don't have orange juice @jerin

@jerin

Drink a tall glass of orange juice and lay on your left side for a few mins to see if you get any movements @

I drank water all day today

Are you drinking plenty of water ?@jerin

Go to l&d and they will hook you up to the monitors to check the babies heartbeat and monitor you as well @jerin
