when baby comes?

[lynnzielee]

What's your plan for money,work,child care all of that fun stuff when Baby comes ? I'm very stressed out today because we dont have a plan when baby comes. I work now and I know I will have to take time off I'm worried my husbands salary won't be enough. I want to be able to be at home for awhile but I don't see that as possible. When I do go back I have no idea who will be able to watch the baby I'm kinda haveing a mommy melt down any advice?

i want to know if i can qualify for daycare***
but its kinda scary letting my lil one be taken care of by other hands :/

Well I want to help out my hubby but idk when will be the right time to bounce back cause Im sure everything will pile up on hubby like rent bills etc.. and now bby of course but luckily foodstamps&wic doo help and i can qualify for daycare and hopefully find other help as well :)
just dont wanna rely on that all my life so hopefully we can get back on track with schooool tooo.
for now my mind is at bit at ease cause i had a bby shower and had many stuff given to me for my bby like bassinett, diapers, clothes, wipes, carseat/stroller and soo many other needs and now bbyshower number 2 this saturday and hopefully get more diapers! haha
i recommend every lady to have one, its a great help:) saved me lots of $$$
luck to all you mommies and hope our problems fixx sooon much <3

I'm 10 weeks so I have time. It's nice to know I'm not the only one worried about this. I hope we all can get this figured out. I know its not good to stress but its a very real impending problem doing daycare is a good idea but I'm not sure it would work in my area

Well my boyfriend will be working. We have gov assistance like food stamps and wic. I'll be getting unemployment checks. And when I do go back to work my SIL and his step mom have offered to watch baby girl for us.

Both me and my fiance work and we have a 2 year old. We live about 2 blocks from my parents so my mom comes over and babysits. I get to take however long off for maternity leave but im only going to be taking 6 weeks because we cant really afford much longer. My brother needed a place to stay so he rents a room for us, thats the only reason i dont have to stress about leave. How far along  are you?

Im actually having the same problem. And I am a waitress so it is hard work and alot on my body but I dont see how we will make it without my income too. And not only can I not imagine leaving my baby all day to go to work, but I have nobody that can even watch my LO. Its makes me worry so much when I think about it. I was thinking of finding a child or two to babysit so I can stay home With my baby and have some income but that is just an idea
