What Medicaid Covers for Pregnant Women in Michigan
Medicaid is a public health insurance program for those with limited income. If you're pregnant, it's designed to cover the care you and your baby need to stay healthy throughout your pregnancy and beyond. Here's what Medicaid usually includes:
- Prenatal visits to monitor your pregnancy and your overall health
- Ultrasounds and lab work to track your baby’s development and catch concerns early
- Labor and delivery, including hospital care and any emergency services needed
- Postpartum checkups to help with your recovery, both physically and emotionally
- Newborn medical care, from day one
Medicaid may also include services like mental health support, access to specialists, dental care, and even help with substance use treatment if needed.
Even if you were denied Medicaid before, pregnancy changes your eligibility. Many pregnant women qualify even if they didn’t before the pregnancy. You might too.
Who Qualifies for Pregnancy Medicaid in Michigan?
If you live in Michigan, are currently pregnant, and fall within certain income limits, you likely qualify for Medicaid. You can even receive coverage for bills from up to three months before your application date. You can apply for Medicaid in Michigan here.

What If Parenting Feels Impossible Right Now?
It’s okay if parenting isn’t something you’re ready for, or something you feel able to do at all. Many women choose adoption not because they don’t love their child, but because they do. It’s about giving your baby a future, and giving yourself the chance to heal and grow.
Adoption means making a loving plan for your child’s life. You’re always in control. You can:
- Choose the family who will raise your child
- Decide if and how you stay in touch through an open or semi-open adoption
- Plan what you want your hospital experience to look like
Your emotions are real. Your story is yours. And your plan should fit your values and needs, not someone else’s expectations.
What Kind of Financial Support Is Available?
One of the most common worries we hear is, “How will I take care of myself during this pregnancy?” With adoption, financial support for birth mothers is available safely, legally, and with your well-being in mind. It’s not “being paid” for your child. It’s help to reduce stress and meet your needs while you focus on your pregnancy. Support can include:
- Living expenses — help with rent, groceries, and bills
- Transportation to appointments, court dates, or agency meetings
- Maternity supplies like clothes and phone service
- Full medical care, including prenatal checkups, delivery, and recovery
Every woman’s needs are different, and we’ll work with you to make sure you get the support that fits your life.

Everything we offer is 100% free to you. You will never pay for services. Here’s what you can expect from us:
