I'm totally freaking out. I'm due september 10 with my first bundle of joy I'm super excited for him to be born but I have to admit I don't have a lot. My hubby is on unemployment. What he makes is for the house bills so its on me. I'm currently working overnights at a call center and well I'm gonna be on maternity leave by september 1st. I have my car paymnt and insurance payment. Which pretty much drains my check. My mother in law wants to throw me a baby shower but until aug 20th. And to top it all off I was diagnosed with gestational diabetics. I'm overwhelmed and right now it appears we are all in a rut. I can't count on my family with financial support. By brother is unemployed my sister lost her job with three kids and her daughter is also prego and do in september. My other brother and sister have their own kids which means I'm doomed financially. I really need help.

    If you've been going good with your car payments, they may let you defer a month. I know we've had to do that once or twice. Check out craigslist for cheap or free baby clothes and you can use a pack n play to save money from having to get a crib and mattress straight off. If you breastfeed, you won't have to worry about formula or bottles, but if not, see if you qualify for WIC and you really only need a few bottles, just wash a lot. Then all you need to worry about is a car seat. We're using a convertible, instead of a carry one, and walmart had one of those for $39.

    I bought a crib it was cheap for 50 buck. My sister in law is getting us the mattress she has. I'm already on wic. But it still feels over whelming.
