No. In rare cases a minor may have her supervision transfered to the state in order to qualify for prenatal and other health care. The age for emancipation is 21 in Indiana. Pregnancy nor child birth changes that.
If you are the pregnant 17 year old and need more information on this issue or other legal issues relating to your support or to the pregnancy you may send me an E-mail and we will help you to find a lawyer to aid you in your neck of the woods.
Good Luck.
