so we have decided to keep the baby. I'm almost 9 weeks and we will wait to tell everyone. we live with his parents in the basement and wouldn't be moving out for a while. any creative, fun, not so serious ways to tell family about it? also, is there any preparation you wish you were doing or started thinking about at 9 weeks?
@swanson.jacquelyn, hmm not this early. It’s just mainly take care of your body in the beginning. But later on (I start at 20 weeks) getting clothes, bed stuff, bottles, diapers and wipes and stuff like that. I didn’t get to many diapers only because I didn’t know if baby was going to be allergic. It took trying 3 or 4 different diaper brands before I found one that worked for my babe. They wear different brands- even now.

I've got the basics of prenatal and eating, all that good stuff. I didn't know if there was any other preparation I should be doing
Apply for Medicaid in your state. Get on wic. Apply for food stamps if you need them. Start drinking water and eating healthier. You can buy some prenatals- i started with gummies cause it was easier to take. You can get some crackers to keep with you cause morning sickness is no joke.
I recommend applying for WIC asap. I'm still procrastinating on it even though it would help me a lot financially.
