Pregnancy/being a parent

Good afternoon everyone!

My name is Andrea and I am 30 years old. My husband and I will start trying in September and I had a couple question that I know that moms will be able to answer. So that everyone understands my position, I will explain my story first. I grew up in a household where my mom, who was always very honest despite loving us a lot, told me how hard is to have kids and how I should never have them if I want a calm life. I always saw pregnancy/having kids as something that stops you in life and that only will bring you headaches. I love kids (in fact, I work with them at a school!) but I am terrified of having my own. 
With that said, I want to address my questions to moms who might help me understand and be less scared. 

1. When pregnant (the first 3 months) does it stop you from doing your daily life? (work to be more specific). 
2. How does your body feel? Does your belly become heavy to the point of not being able to do your normal routine? 
3. How much does it cost to give birth? 
4. Is there financial help regarding daycare? 
I am sure I will have more questions but for now, all these are the ones that bothers my mind the most. 

Thank you!
