Don't let anyone not even your mom make you feel like your throwing away your life because your not. Yes life will become more difficult but if u are strong and you have support from others like friends or your boyfriend, you will do great! Especially because u said u wanted this baby. Don't let anyone make u feel like your making a mistake. This is your life and no matter what decisions u make u have to love with them. Having a baby doesn't mean ur the pig away your life your just gonna have more responsibilities. I'm 21 and I'm 4 days away from my due date, I'm scared too but I know having this baby will enrich my life as will yours. Congrats on being pregnant and I wish u the best to u an your little family.
You shouldd openn a bankk account and start a savings account. am 21 weeks pregnant, live with my boyfriend for over a year, we pay bills etc. we started saving movey a little before i got pregnant. we made a deal to NOT touch the saving account money. and i carry yhe credit card. think about the crib, stroller, diapers, clothes, shoes, everything your gonna have to waist.
Well sitting down with your bf to talk about things would be a start, at least you know having a baby won't be cheap! That is deffinetly a start, since you still have time to start buying things; maybe talk about setting an amount to save each month, an amount to spend on baby related things?
and if you guys decide to tell his parents I hope that goes over smoothly!
It's awesome you're both working though, that helps a lot. I'm 25 weeks and still working and just now deciding on my spending price for the month, it's hard but much easier to get the big things out of the way! I got a crib when I was 10 weeks.
