Money!

[mrsmcveigh]

I am 8 weeks1 and really looking forward to buying things but there's such a dampener on it at the moment, my washing machine has broke, the bills are endless, I have bank charges, I need to redecorate, plus my partner has two children from a previous relationship who's mother stopped him from seeing, its currently going through solicitors so he can get access which means more expense because of things like beds and treats when they stay over once he gets access. I know it sounds ridiculously selfish but I just want to go out and buy everything this baby needs but right now I dont even think I could afford a babygro lol :/ anyone else stressing?

Congrats on our pregnancy!! U are very early on...  I would suggest waiting until you are 23-24 weeks... I know its hard BC u get anxious.. but I lost my two previous pregnancies one at 17 wks and one  at 20 n we had bought things early and it makes things much harder.. it was such a random thing.. sldo this way u Have time to save sme $$

Yeah of course I don't have many to be honest just have a few people I can't wait for mine and don't worry about getting all your baby stuff you will be suprised how much people help

[mrsmcveigh]

It would be nice to have one. But I don't have many friends and family to be honest! Would it be worth it? Lol

I wont be having a baby shower. I'm im the UK and people don't really tend to throw them over here, well at least nobody I know lol. I already have a daughter and had to buy most of the stuff myself

Don't worry about all the expenses right. I didn't start getting anything till after my baby shower. which I had at my 8 months of being pregnant. Enjoy this pregnancy, don't stress. Im 21 years of age I work at Target. My boyfriend of just 9months are making it; Yeah do the math. I have a car payment that consist of 346, insurance 120, cell phone bill. Keep your head up. God has so much in store for you, you just don't know how his magic works.

Luckily you have a few months and you will get a bunch of stuff from your baby shower!

Lauren thats nice your parents are able to help. My
Mom has offered me money to pay for my bank charges but I dont like accepting it, I suppose I'm a bit proud like that :/ but it's nice to know I have help if I really need it xx

[mrsmcveigh]

Aww your mom sounds really selfish! My partner just got a new job too but I'm a student so dont have a source of income, we've just gotta rely on his wages! Im hoping to get financially sorted in the next couple of months so I can go crazy on baby things! It's hard to get excited when you have to scrimp by :(
