I'm sure everything is possible, one has to work hard for the family.  As long as one of you willing to work then i'm sure money will not be a problem.  I had to work three jobs to clean up all my debts and no i don't owe anything.  

I'm sorry that your son has a heart problem, health is very important so i hope you can stay strong and don't let depression get to you.  You will be in my prayers!  My husband really want a baby and i was pregnant for once but lost it in Feb.  Your pregnancy is a gift, so i hope you can do your best to bring your baby to this world.  Good luck!

He sounds very selfish and irresponsible.  Do what's best for you and your future so don't stay with him just b/c your other three kids love him.  I'm not a fan of people that stick in a relationship just b/c it's comfortable and they are used to the daily life/routine. I'm always into filial guy that wants family and take care of the family.  So if my partner is like your bf - i know i won't have baby with this type of guy.  

Stay strong and remember do what's best for your baby and the baby is innocent so take good care of your health.  Depression can affect your baby's health.

Ignore his negative behavior. He may come around, if not then u may have to do this with out even if ur other kids will miss him. If he cared he would adapt.

It is a very hurtful thing to hear he isn't excited about the pregnancy. I would ask him what he is going through. Is he not happy because he is stressed over money? Often men get worked up over finances and other life stresses. Sounds like you two need to have a sit down chat about your relationship and future together. Best of luck to you!

You current 3 children will understand as they get older why you left him. If he is disrespectful and doesn't even want your unborn child, you should not be in that relationship. What your children won't understand when they're older, is why you stayed.

That's very mean of him to say that to you. You have to be strong for you and your baby. But I don't understand he got you pregnant he knew the consequences so why would he speak like that to you. I would really be angry with him what if when the baby is born he says terrible things to the baby too. That's just uncomfortable sorry you're going through this hope things get better for you.

Stay strong. If you want this baby, you have this baby. Don't allow him to control your decisions. He knew the consequences of having unprotected sex. He should step up. Talk with him. Communication is key. Just remain strong and don't allow him to bring you down. You'll be fine:) chin up girl.
