Tenncare sounds like it's a lot like our Masshealth system. Definitely apply, they're there for people who don't have the money to have a baby. They'll cover almost everything for you.

WIC is also for people with low or no income. They'll give you like milk and stuff while you're pregnant and formula(if you use it) once the baby is born.

It's not good to depend on forever, of course. But it can help you through the tough time when you're trying to finish school and can't work.

WIC is for those who don't have a job, as the whole point of it is to help you out until you get a job or at least support yourself better.

I know nothing about Tenncare- sorry about that.

I'm guessing abortion is out of the question?
