Struggling financially and emotionally

I am 16 weeks and I know I still have a long way to go but my bf is not understanding he needs to settle,  he keeps switching jobs and everytime I go to doc appointments I make payments, I'm not getting any government help and when I ask him if the new job is working for him he says I don't like to talk about my finance. He is 26 and leaves with his mom, I leave with a roommate and he won't move in till the baby is here. I just feel like I am stressing alot lately and not enjoying my pregnancy =(

First of all get some assistance! You can only qualify for it, if you meet the income requirements and there is nothing wrong with that. I would apply for food stamps as medical and also apply for WIC. This should help with the strain since your bf doesn't seem to be helping to put your mind at ease. When I had my first baby I did it all by myself, it was scary but I had lots of help from places such as welfare and WIC. I also was a full time student and worked. We all need help and there is no shame in admitting it. Forget your bf, you're not married so you should take advantage of the single benefits while you can. Don't stress mama!

You're not alone... right now I basically don't have anywhere to stay. My sister didn't want me staying with her even though I was helping her out so now I have to look for a shelter to stay at. Plus my baby father isn't working.. so yeah.I haven't been able to enjoy my pregnancy... everything just went downhill.. I know things will work out...I'm trying to stay in good spirits..

Awww im sorry to hear you aren't enjoying your pregnancy maybe you should just have someone else talk to him like your father uncle or another supportive family member how can you guys be preparing for the baby and he doesn't want to talk about money? Sounds like he needs to open up more and realize he is in a partnership and you guys are a team you have to lift each other up and keep each other motivated
