i'm at the point of exploding . i've got so much to do and prepare for this baby , but no time , money or even my own place . i can't stop breaking down and crying cause everything i've worked so hard for my baby is backfiring !

Don't stress. Whenever you stress it will make your baby stressed as well and you don't really want that because you want it to develop properly instead of worrying about you being stressed.
Everything will work out, I know exactly how you feel.
Can you live at home?

i try not to stress , but it's like my life is falling apart . i have the option to live at home , but that'd be waaaay to stressful considering my 76 year old grandma invited herself to live with us , and she's rude , and inconsiderate . my house is not a nice place to raise a baby .

I have absolutely no idea... Are you still with the father?
Im moving in with the father, his mums got a 1 year old haha. So she's got everything I need etc.

Holy shit 9 people. How many bedrooms is it.
Does your boyfriend have a job??
Do you guys have centerlink over there.
They give you like $500 a week...

Im always having a stress over baby stuff and money and my mom keeps telling me i need this and that for myself like a new coat for the winter and bra that actuly fits me lol but she just doesnt understand that i havent got the money and that im trying my best to save for my baby! Then i feel all guilty cos my boyfriend has had to go away for a month with his work to earn more money and his misrable and i am cos we miss eatchother! Sometimes i just feel like digging a large hole and staying there for the next 18years! but at the end of the day you need to get yourself through and im sure yours and your OH's parents wont let you go without if you need anything, i know its hard though

try not to stress. when you feel you are going to explode stop what you are doing and take a walk out side, if you have a dog play with it for a little while, lay down and put on some calming music to meditate on, id even encourage you to pray. stress is harmful to a baby. remember everything happends for a reason. im sure you will get it worked out, even if it means moving in with the grandparents for a few month while you get on your feet.
