i dont know where you live but when i was 19 and single, i got on a welefare program and was sent to a pregnancy center at our local hospital. i saw a doctor at every visit although the doctors were different each time. at least i got weighed, measured, got all my bloodwork and urine cultures done and i got 2 ultrasounds, none of which i had to pay for. call your local hospital or welefare office and i am sure they can lead you in the right direction. there is also a program WIC which is for women, infants and children. you can get free food and milk through this program so you can be healthy during your pregnacy and if you dont breastfeed, you get free formula. also take your prenatal vitamins. at least get a generic brand at the store. they will still be very beneficial to u and baby.

what do you mean? like medicaid? do both of you have jobs and if you do, is it a min. wage? im not asking this to make you look bad or anything, i myself dont have a job. but medicaid is very easy to get if you are pregnant and not making enough money to pay all them expensive doctors bills. you have to have insurance (which thats what medicaid is) in order to get WIC. both of these programs are very helpful and alot of women are on it. it doesnt make you look bad or lower your rep. its what helps us out. call your local medicaid office and apply. they will contact you after appling and send you insurance if you qualify. since your parents they shouldnt have a problem giving it to you. good luck
