Hmm well here in Canada, there are alot of homes + programs for young, teen mothers. Like there's a program where they set you up with an apartment, and give you money for food, but you have to live there until you're 18 + after 2 years they give you 5000$ worth of free furniture. It all depends on where you live.

because ur 15 ur bf can get benefit 4 u i think. well thats wat i was told. look at my previous post about the children law website e-mail them n u will soon get a reply on wat u can do.
Whether your mum isn't going to support you or help you, there is stuff you can do.
As mentioned, go to the council and explain you are pregnant and you will be made homeless by your mother. They will talk to your mother, so if she doesn't want you at home with a baby, she'd better agree to talk to them.
I believe your boyfriend can apply for you, but if you give birth after you turn 16 there isn't a problem.
You might not beable to claim your sure start maternity grant until you're over 16 either BUT you can apply for this up until after 3 months after the baby has been born.
heya am 16 and 27weeks pregnant. im kinda in the same situation as you. i need to be re-housed so am having to work with connexions + housing people called the property pool. its hard but its not impossible. keep your chin up youl be a fab mummy, congrats on ur lil one. hope to hear from you soon xx
One issue that needs bringing up is that your bf may be at risk with the law, if you're underaged! I don't want to panic you, I know he hasn't forced you to have sex with him, but it is something that will be brought up.
Congrats though Hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy. And good luck with finances etc

im 15 n had my baby not that long ago me n my bf r still 2geter but when i was pregnant the police interviewed me n my bf n we both said we agreed to it and nothing happened after that my bf is 16 tho. the policeman said that if i was 14 then der could of been a big problem. that is over in northern ireland but i think its different in other places.
In Uk law, sex with a girl under 16 is illegal and consent is completely irrelevant - you might want to go to the citizens advice bureau before telling the social who the father is. They can't pass the information on, but the social can.
Dont want to scare you, but you need to know where he stands.
