My first pregnancy was a surprise, I was single. My family helped me when I lost my job due to the company shutting down. If it wasn't for pregnancy Medicaid, my family and a few friends, I would have had the bare minimums for my daughter. Which wouldn't have been a bad thing. They're are places that help moms. My daughter was very spoiled. Even if it was things on clearance, or fr second hand shops. Babies are expensive, yes, but it's not impossible to spoil a child with little money. You just buy in bulk when possible, that right there does save money. And you can find amazing deals! Burlington was my favorite store. Along with a store called pitter patter. A small second hand store with amazing deals. Of course, parents make sacrifices lol. Like no clothes that fit, so you just squeak into them anyway cause you can't afford clothes yet.
Time to share your story!
I just wanted to share my story and get some feedback. I'm 27 and have been with my partner for 2 years. We want to have children, but I get nervous because I feel like we have a long road ahead of us. I know there is really no right time when TTC. I guess the biggest issue is money. I want to have money to spoil our child, and it seems like with hospital assistance they make it damn near impossible to have anything in your bank account. I would like to know how you ladies planned? Did you have a huge savings? Set aside a little bit each month, or just said eff it and are going to take your chances?! At this point I want a baby so bad that I will make it work, and in this day and age I will not limit myself to doing what I want because I don't think I will have enlightened money. How do you ladies feel about this?! Anyone feel like me?!
