unemployed and pregnant

Hi mommy congrats on ur pregnancy!! There is actually never a right time for such life changing matters. Don’t feel guilty! Like my hubby always said, money can always be earned in the future haha. What’s most important now is that your hubby and you take care of each other. Everyone has a role to play and now your role is to have a healthy marriage & pregnancy and prepare for parenthood. In this way, you can help guide your hubby in this wonderful but oh so difficult journey. Do rmb that it’s co-parenthood and if he doesn’t feel the need to takeover your role (which he can’t), you shouldn’t feel the need to play the same role as him too. Your role is no mean feat too! I can tell you from my experience that mommies have it way more difficult haha. Most of the expenses for the first year are once off purchases and you can help by sourcing for good deals or even better look for hand me downs! You can also take this time to plan how to manage the finances when baby is born. E.g. vaccinations can be done at polyclinic since it is cheaper, what you can do with baby bonus Anyways hiring a nanny or ifc costs money too. So this is a portion saved too! Happy mama = happy baby! Jiayou!
