Baby #2

Keep the baby. Things work out somehow. Money can be made- it comes and goes. In my case- usually goes - but money isn’t the main motivation in my life. I had one a long time ago because of money and I thought I was too young. Biggest regret of my life.

Did/do you want a second baby? If you want your baby now to have a sibling sooner than planned, then go through with the pregnancy. You never know what will happen financially.
And it’s unfortunate that we are pushed to live/think this way but creating or removing a life ideally shouldn’t be contingent upon a dollar amount. We have ups and downs and struggles but there’s also aid out there and help and when you reach out, you find more answers than when you don’t.

So if you want another baby then don’t go today. Remember that things have a way of working out and you already have the support at home.

Honestly, babies are expensive 😓 Would you be able to buy a car seat, diapers and food for your baby?

Keep the baby it will work out. It just does. You won't get over it if you go. Remember the feeling when you had your first and that baby in you has a heart beat. You will be ok with one more. You are already crying and it will only get worse. The baby would rather have a broke life than no life at all.

How is your village, if it is rocky you need to have a gold fashioned heart to heart w/ significant other

You have to do what is right for you and the baby both mentally and financially. Just remember, adoption is always an option!

Me and my husband have 3 boys and are wanting another, but due to fertility issues, we are looking into adoption!

Thank you everyone, financial issues are not to the point of not being able to buy for or clothes. It’s just that we’re barely making our bills and I’m already waiting for the next pay check 2 days after getting one.

I would honestly just need a double stroller and a cot. I have a car seat and everything else from my first. I kept everything and it’s all practically brand new. I only stressed because everything is so expensive and I felt my support system did not want to help even if they said they would be with me no matter what I chose.

I honesty couldn’t stop crying this morning, did not want to get dressed to go. I sat my husband down and we talked and we decided that we’ll keep the baby. As many of you said, money comes and goes. As long as my babies are happy and healthy it’s all that matters.

I will soon be a mama of 2 under 2 so looking forward to that haha

🫂🫂🫂🫂🫂❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🎉🎉🎉 I'm so overjoyed u didn't go thru with it!! Glad hubby had the change of heart too! This week be something u guys will never ever regret ❤️

Baby wnt be here for months anyways, by that time hopefully things are financially more stable, which I'm sure it will be

Apply for wicked, food stamps, liheap. Whatever assistance is out there

I'm so happy you listened to your gut and talked with your husband again!! ❤️ when I found out about baby #4 covid just came out, lock downs happened a week after I found out and my husband lost his job. We never went without and God provided for us for 6 months. My husband had a surgery, I went on bed rest, and we moved into our 2nd home. It was crazy but it worked out. Now, here we are with baby #6 and just remodeled our home and are in some debt but happy as ever! My kids are happy and loved and never go without. I am sure your kids will be just as loved and cared for. Praying for you and the rest of your pregnancy 💓

I'm so glad you are feeling better and followed your heart. That little kidney bean is going to be a very cute little snuggly soon. You guys will be fine, I'm glad your hubby is being supportive too.
