Low-Cost Prenatal Care & WIC in North County
Pregnancy should never go without care because of money. St. Louis has sliding-scale prenatal care, free nurse home visits, and WIC food support — and most of it is available right in North County.
Prenatal care without insurance
Also worth knowing: pregnancy qualifies you for Missouri Medicaid (MO HealthNet) at higher income limits than usual, and coverage now continues for a full year after birth. Apply at mydss.mo.gov or ask any clinic above to help you apply — they do it every day.
Free nurse visits at home
