so stressed!

been looking for apts to finally have my own place with my boyfriend & our soon to come bby. I'm still 17+5 today, but the big stress is tht my job doesn't pay maternity leave, & apts here in Boston r so EXPENSIVE even a 1 bedroom almost $2000 plus utilities etc. we can't afford tgt plus who's going to help jim pay rent when i leave for maternity at work? I've applied for every housing apts around here been denied for most of them. i think my only option is to leave for a shelter. I literally cry eveeryday just thinking about whats going to happen, we live at his parents house, our bedroom is sooo small not even a small crib could fit there, we barely have space for our stuff. i just dont know what else to do. my hair falls very easily & i know it is because I'm stressing out. some people may say take it easy, but they just don't know what I'm really going through right now.

Besides the space issue is there a reason you have to move now? Maybe it is better you wait until after you have baby and can go back to work to move. The baby can sleep in bassinet for first three months,so you dont need crib yet. Bassinet is fairly small. That or they have co-sleepers that can go in your bed. It seems it will be more stressful to move out, and not be sure if you can pay rent...Then dealing with tight space. Maybe you can keep only essential stuff in room and box up stuff that is taking up space that you dont use daily. Put boxes is garage, attic, or under bed. Things will workout.

what about co sleeper? Sounds silly but have you considered bunk beds to allow for more floor space. Just throwing out ideas!
