stressed to the max!! Vent!!!

[maripoza13]

I was excited when my doc said it looked like baby is ready to come while she's still too small she says I'll be lucky if I  make it to my appt. Wednesday but now I'm worried and stressed because I have nothing for my daughter me and my bf are together but living separate he's actually sleeping in our car parked outside his family house and I stay at my moms and sleep on on a blow up bed in the living room. I have no money to buy anything if baby does come and iv tryed researching places like thrift shops for cheap stuff and places that help getting baby stuff but no luck and I don't knw what I am gunna do..

Yea my kids are fine we stay at my mothers..

[Roxxxy915]

Im so sorry about that buy try now that you can b4 its too late . How many wks are you again?? How about your other kids where are they sleeping @? Are they okay?? Like isaid try churches near you & local pregnancy center explain to em your situation.

[maripoza13]

Yes it is my 5th baby and yes my last was a girl and I gave all her clothes away to a sister in law of mine.. So since I mentioned we don't have family support I do not speak to her nor does my bf so I have nothing from my previous pregnancy.

Salvation army, and a lot of food banks have help there. If u go to ur local welfare office they can give u a lot of resources and apply as well for nutrition assistance,cash aid,etc. Also whenever you go see ur doctor, they may have a pamphlet with different resources for you. WIC is definitely a good idea they can help you with A LOT. Call ur local wic office or just walk in. Ive been through a lot of tough times and there is help for you out there. Im sry u have to go through it because its difficult but you can do it. Take advantage of those resources while u can. No one wants to be in those shoes but it happens.Good luck and take care.

Maripoza13^? Umm isnt this your 5th baby?? Did you save girls clothes b4 your previous pregnancies if u had a girl? Churches will help you && local pregnancy center look it up online.

I am having problem seeing my inbox I'll keep trying thanks tho

The main thing you'll want to get us a car seat because the hospital won't let U take ur baby home if U don't have one:) good luck!

I replied to your email send me the information

[maripoza13]

Thank you to all you ladies I appreciate all feedback very much I'm still looking into all the places around who offer help but most are closed today so I have to wait until Monday to call n check them out but mean whiles thanks to all of u for not judging and only giving support

[babymama36166]

County offices, wic, food shelves, churches, salvation army. Theses places have programs that can help.

You can check with the fire station in your area for a donated car seat and tell them you have nothing for your unborn child to see if they can advise you on where to go for help.  You never know sometimes there are people who are willing to give a helping hand.

If you are struggling that much then it might be in your best interest to go to your local welfare office. They will help you with just about everything. I wish there was some way I could help you but I'm barely making ends meet myself. But if I were you, I would definitely go to the welfare office and also the WIC office. Good luck and stay strong.

[Tiny_Tee]

Hi I understand your struggle. It hard being a mom let alone bringing a baby into this world under those circumstances but I know this might just sound creepy or weird but if u really need help God has blessed me enough to pay it forward I'll go buy you something's you need for the baby and Send it UPS first thing in the morning or before they close today if u have a PO box that will work if your skeptical about giving a stranger your home address I completely understand I just remember when I had my first child I was completely all alone and I had to make a way out of no way growing up in foster care so if I can help a mother keep her child I'll do anything to help

[FirstTimemamiiToB]

Just don't look on creigslist!! Churches would probably be helpful or try to get on public assistance so you are able to care for this baby its going to need a lot of stiff

[almacecilia2008]

Food banks and family centers always have baby clothing and a lot of staff for free go there. Find a family resource center as soon as possible a visit and you will have mostly everything including the car seat. Good luck Got will not leave you alone :)

I cant imagine what people in these situations are going through or how they deal with it, i am lucky to have the best support system from both sides.

I dont get how family can turn their backs on loved ones in such a time of need?!?!?!

[cliqueguy1992]

Churches do help especially with that or they can tell you to go to a woman's shelter that helps pregnant woman get on there feet. They do exist but it's hard to find. I hate that family doesn't want to help you. Its very selfish because family is suppose to be there and help you no matter what

[brihunt]

Try churches, they may not advertise their services like that, but if you talk to them, they wont just turn you away

[maripoza13]

No family is not willing to help.. Thanks I'll try finding a place but I don't even knw where to start

[cliqueguy1992]

Can a family member ask around to give out some clothes they can give you. I know it's tough I really wish I could help because there's a lot of ppl that throw baby clothes away. Maybe look around and see if there's a woman's pregnancy center that gives out clothes maybe? I will be praying for you dear
