Pregnancy Resources
 
As if pregnancy and children at a young age wasn't hard enough, finding services just makes it more difficult. Here we have compiled a list of resources for young women in the Waltham, Watertown, Arlington area, just in case they need a little extra help. We have also included abortion and adoption help.

 
WIC

WIC is designed to help pregnant women and women with children under the age of five with essential foods, diapers, formula, screening, and referrals to other health, welfare and social services. They dont always have the funds to provide all their clients, due to the fact that they are a government funded program.
