Aww mama, totoo yan, sobrang frustrating talaga kapag minimum wage lang kasi walang salary differential, parang nag-expect ka ng extra pero wala A few of us mums have been through this din, and honestly, the financial shock right before giving birth is real and heartbreaking. Kaya lang, don't be too hard on yourself, you were planning ahead and that shows good mothering na, hindi mo lang alam the rules. Maybe check if you can return or exchange what you bought, or ask your OB if there's any prenatal or hospital assistance programs available sa inyong area para ma-lighten pa man lang the load before baby comes.
