As above ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ #10

Go to the debtfree wannabe board and post your SOA. The posters on there can save you money by looking at things you may have overlooked. After that, over to the old style board to learn how to cook on a shoestring.

congratulations. Im a Mum of 3. Yes it can be hard but its also so rewarding. Moneywise babies cost very little really its later on they cost (I reccomened you dont introduce any of yuor 3 to the world of dancing as it these sort of activities that cost us most) Wishing you a healthy happy pregnancy.
p.s. my 3rd labour was the easiest of them all @ 2 minutes!

It'll be ok..honestly ...so congratulations :j x
I had three kidlets in three years,14 months between DS and DD1 and 16 months between DD1 and DD2 so my eldest was just under 3 when my youngest arrived and I'm still sane:p
My middle DD was born 3 months early and spent her first few months in hospital followed by us pretty much living on the kids ward for the next couple of years and still pretty often now.She was actually in HDU at our local hosp when a random comment in a convo with a lovely nurse triggered something in my head and I realised I hadn't had a period.Lovely nurse grabbed me a test from their cupboard,two lines later and bang a totally unexpected number three was on her way.No idea how as we'd only dtd on day 5 of my cycle!!
Anyway! Sorry to go on..my point is you will cope.With your kids being so young do you still have the basics to save some pennies?Did you hang on to the clothes from your other 2?
Be prepared to have the whole world and their aunt tell you you're nuts..I did but am now a couple of weeks away from number 4
Also be prepared for people on here to be highly critical if you've posted recently re your finances.It's easy for people to sit behind their laptop and judge but not very helpful to you so try not to rise to it or let it upset you.
Obviously you'll get the child benefit and extra tax creds which will help and you have the next few months to get bargain hunting and stockpiling.Realistically what do you need that you don't already have?Are you a SAHM at the mo?

I recently posted because we are worried about not making ends meet financially

Why on earth did you let it happen if you are so financially stricken?

How does this help?

mmm, the OP has admitted to financial problems, should it not've been in her money saving scheme of things to try and restrict further outgoings by keeping family as it was?

Sometimes things just bloomin happen. Stop being so damn self righteous.. not everyone can be as perfect as you

I cant understand why people can be so cruel and judgemental.
Unexpected pregnancies happen, its a fact of life.

You sit anonymously behind your little protective screens and say things like this. I bet you wouldnt dare say it to anybody if they were sat aside you.
You should be ashamed of yourselves
If you cant help, dont waste your time posting and make people feel bad.

OP, you will manage, come on here when you need moral support,
car boot sales and charity shops absolutely rely on people to buy from them.

Up and at 'em girl and good luck with your baby. Just think of the joy it will bring you and the rest of your family

Good luck with it all and tek no notice of the Wowsers

Congratulations OP, as Tiddlywinks says you will be resourceful and things will work out for you - may not be easy, but nothing worth having ever is! You'll look back on this period in your life with v fond memories.

I happen to think that every child is a blessing. I also know that the most foolproof way of avoiding conception is by not having sex.
