hi Gigi

I am 39 and have twins due in July.

M/s is hard to beat under 12 wks but I had breakfast in bed and it does help. I also ate whenever I started to feel a bit sick. Rest up and keep fluids up.

Re budget - remember you get a baby bonus $4000 after bub is born. So you can delay some of big purchases till after bub is born.

When you go to hospital booking in appointment they give your a bag of goodies called bounty bag - it has a magazine with vouchers for 20% -25% off some of bigger costs car seats and clothes and ?. Watch for sales and use your vouchers then for 40% off / layby too.

As well you might find friends and aquaintances will give you their unused items or lend you things.

Like other said BB has heaps of advice for those on a budget too
