Ansomia is totally normal, don't worry  You're body knows what it's doing and is giving everything your baby needs. Money, is always a question the pops into everyones mind. Remember you don't have to get them the most expensive things, babies don't need much and everything they use is very temporary. You can get a lot of hand-me downs from communities as well as used toys when he/she is older. You can use cloth diapers instead of disposable, really focus on nursing so you don't need to spend money on formula...ect. Their are a lot of second hand shops and places like craigslist where you can buy cribs, strollers, and swings. Target sells a lot of clothes for under $10 for babies, especially if you look at the sale section. No matter how much you make, put some aside to save up. Whether it's $5 a month or $300 a month, just put it away. Buy small things every month so you aren't spending hundreds of dollars your last month of pregnancy or the first couple months after baby is born. You can do this, don't worry Their are a lot of resources out there to help you. I recommend filing for Medicaid if you need insurance or if you'll need insurance for you baby. Also WIC will help you with basic food needs and baby food later on. LIR

My advice is purely personal. I am not a Doctor and there is NO substitute for getting proper medical diagnosis and advice. |
"The part of my recovery plan that I would say made up 80% is MDJ. I suffered a lot prior to finding MDJ, felt alone and had no one to talk to who really understood me. In the Bipolar Group I found like minded individuals who I could relate to and who offered support to me when I needed it. As I recovered, I could then offer support to them which gave me a good feeling about myself. I have met some great people here who I would class as good friends and know I would still be in the slump I was in without them. Now I am stable, I know that MDJ plays an important part in keeping me that way. Thank you MDJ for being there for us all and making us no longer feel alone." (liamacker)
