#Scared

So I'm 24 years old an I'm having a baby. I'm 13 weeks pregnant and honestly I'm scared. I work my boyfriend works but there's no boundaries or a limit on how much money we spend together. I know that the baby is going to ne expensive an I have yet to even start saving. Saving money was always an issue with the both of us but I don't know what to do.  And not only that I live with my boyfriend an his father an his mother an they don't even know I'm pregnant! I know I want to move because I'm starting my own family.  But I have to deal with my money issue first. PLEASE HELP ME! !!

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.
