  Also, as far as the pregnancy and baby items are concerned, I worked for Blue Cross Blue Shield for many years. If you have state insurance Medicaid, or any kind of insurance, they will pay for the cost of a breast pump a good one with all the supplies and everything that you need so don’t buy a breast pump. WIC will also set you up with a breast pump WIC has been a lifesaver for me so far, they started my vouchers as soon as I tested positive in their office, milk bread, cheese, folic acid, and so forth so it’s not everything but it does Much needed items that can take some stress off of your plate and I’m not sure of your financial situation because God knows I am busted broke after leaving my ex-husband check your local police station or hospital as well. Sometimes they have programs well they’ll give you a car seat or crib or some other items. Don’t be afraid to reach out there’s nothing wrong with it. Babies are not cheap, nothing is cheap these days so don’t be too hard on yourself and just get what help you can you can and then don’t be too hard on yourself you’re moving mountains you just can’t see it yet

  I want you to know that you are not alone I too, am currently getting a divorce. My soon to be ex-husband decided he wanted alcohol and partying over his wife and child. I have no family to turn to my mother and I are estranged. My father passed away several years ago. I have one sister in Michigan and I’ve been considering moving back there for Help. I’m going to be an older mother I’m 39 I’ve lost three pregnancies prior to this due to PCOS. I was taking hydroxyzine, Wellbutrin, Seroquel, & sertraline due to the stress and anxiety of the divorce and just life. I completely understand where you are and how you’re feeling, it is so scary and overwhelming. Pregnancy is supposed to be a happy time but it’s really hard to be happy and keep it together when it feels like everything around you is falling apart. I get so tired of having no choice but to keep being strong when in reality all I want is some help or for someone to tell me that it’s going to be OK even if it’s not. I’ve been pretty moody without the medicine, but I obviously can’t take it right now, and I’ve had to find other ways to cope which isn’t going so great because I’m not sure how to do that. So regardless of what’s happening if no one else is in your corner, I will be in your corner. I will tell you you got this and this is temporary in it, too shall pass. I haven’t had much of an appetite and I’ve been really sick because of the nerves in the anxiety and everything altogether. It’s so crazy. I am so thankful for my baby, but I am tired and it seems like you’re in the same boat you’re not alone sorry for the book. I hope this helped somehow someway.
