Honey. You will be fine.
I promise.
Babies honestly don't cost that much. They don't need a lot... and they certainly don't need the best of everything expensive.
Public delivery costs nothing.
Breastfeeding costs nothing.
Get cloth nappies - roughly a sixth of the cost of 2.5 years of disposables and just as simple to use.
Babies grow so quickly you don't need to buy tonnes of clothes. You can buy so many second hand excellent quality clothes of ebay or from charity stores etc.
2nd hand cot would cost you $100... even better you could co-sleep.
I bought a ninety dollar pram - there ain't no way I would spend $500 on a pram even if we could have afforded it.
They are also not interested in toys.... ever.... give them a cardboard box
You will be fine, the first year is the easiest... and that year you can work out what to do next. I know it doesn't seem easy but you can and will make it work.
DF & I had only been together three months, neither of us had a job and I was only 19... it was a big shock but we made it work. And ok situational differences but it does work out.
If you are considering a termination you should request access to the private support group, I'm sure some of them can help you out if you choose to make that decision too.
Good luck hon, bugto you.
xo.





to you.
