I too worry about money, I think everyone does because everything is so expensive these days. I didn't want kids when I met my husband, I just never saw my myself as a mom, even though I baby sat my nieces a lot and spent a lot of time with them. I just felt that kids weren't for me. After time had passed I told my husband that we could have 2 kids. I'm pregnant with my 1st and I too go through mixed emotions still to this day. I just have to keep reminding myself that I am carrying a precious gift from God and I know that in the end it will be worth it. I think we are all scared, we are only human. I hope that money matters get better for you. I look at things this way, God wouldn't give you something you couldn't handle. Keep the faith and everything will work out. Good luck to you.

hey remember - your hormones are making you panic.

So maybe things arent ideal, but it'll work out. BAbies dont need the most expensive things.I plan on getting most of our stuff second hand - simply because babies grow so quick that even second hand thigns will no doubt have only been worn a few weeks. And I can thoroughly clean everything!

You could have an abortion...but I'm pretty certain that isnt what you want?

I paniced a lot as soon as I knew I was pregnant...it's like suddenly it was REAL, no turning back, and that's a very scarey thing!!!!! But I learnt to not think about things too much when I'm tired - as that's my time for sheer panic!!!

You've months until you need to stop working so there's time to get something in the short term. As has been said - you don't HAVE to ^tell an employer you're pregnant until a certain time...is it 3 months before birth?? I'm not sure, there is an offical rule on it I THINK.

But really, plan the ways you can save and make things lovely for the baby without it being pricey.

Hello

Sorry to hear your bad news.

It is good to share your worries with others. Do you have a family close at hand or a good friend who you could burden your worries onto?

Even though I have a job, I may be splitting with my OH and I am too worried about monies.

My parents have been angels and offered to take me in and help me out. There is always someone around to help you.

If this is something that you really want, try and be positive and I am sure things will be okay.

Good luck xx
