New Mom to be and a little scared

hamlet267

It seems like everything in my life has collapsed except for my love life. My husband and I have just recently gotten married and our financial situation is not really at it's best but we are working to get back on track. Last Monday I found out I was pregnant. I'm excited but very scared. Any suggestions? Money saving tips?

Congrats! I would just start saving. I was a broke single mom when I was pregnant with my son, and I just put as much as I could afford to every paycheck into savings to buy the things I needed. Also, in my third trimester I would buy diapers any time they went on sale, so I had a huge stash when baby was born.

Craigslist and garage sales for clothes and other baby items!

Welcome and congratulations! Consignment shops are great money savers, you can find maternity clothing, baby clothing, toys, furniture etc.

Congrats and welcome! I joined a fb mommy group that is people in my area. It is wonderful for money saving! I would definitely check if there is one in your area. You can get like new stuff for a fraction of what you pay in the store. Especially for the stuff they only use a few months!
