So stressed

I'm so stressed Im pregnant and I have a 3 year old I only get a certain amount of money a month. I did not think I was gonna be a single parent of two doing it by myself my baby's dad said he will help but haven't yet and I have no support or help from my family so it's just me doin everything by myself. And all I got for my son was clothes and a bounce a pack it NB diapers and three packs of wipes. And I'm 30 weeks and since Im doing everything by myself I feel like I'm not gonna have everything he needs. :/ and I can't stop crying. Sorry ladies just needed to get it out instead of keepin it in.

See if you have any programs that offer help where you live. In indy we have a program called bibs and they help you get a carseat crib and clothes even diapers. Maybe theres something similar? Or see if you can find a second hand childerns store. I get everything for my son at once upon a child. You may not have that place but im sure theres something

Try looking for places that sell used baby stuff. They might be a little discolored, but I don't think that's a big deal. Where do you live?
