My boyfriend and I are 6 weeks pregnant, our parents know, baby's healthy blah blah blah. One problem, we both want to keep the baby but we're afraid we don't have the money. Can anyone ease our fears or give us some money saving tips?

Well this probably won't help much if you don't believe what I'm saying, but there's an old Russian proverb that say, 'If God gives you a child, He will give you for a child'. Which means if you have a child, you will be able to make ends meet for that child, or else it woulnd't have happened.
Sometimes seems far-fetched to believe, but it's true, and it works:)

you know, when i was pregnant, i would have never beleive that, but after having my son who is now two and a half, i beleive it full heartedly. its like great things happen with children.

yup totally agree.
god doesnt give us what we cant handle.
if you wanna keep it. keep it.

definately believe that! If he brings you to it he'll bring you through it. But on a different note:

We all worry about having a baby and how to take care of a new family and a new person. Knowing that everything is tight and that things will be hard, its natural to wonder how well someone else can do it. But you were picked out of everyone in the world to be the parents of this baby! Your parents will probably be a big help too. No one wants to rely on their parents to take care of our own baby but as long as you try to help out too then they probably wont mind! If you love your baby and dont give up on dreams, knowing that they should be achieved not only for you anymore but for your baby, you will be fine!

**Dont buy TONS of clothes and stuff that you think is waaay too cute or the baby would love to have because they wont notice for awhile and a lot of money is wasted on stuff like that! Take hand-me-downs and gently used items until you can really afford it. You dont have to keep everything people give you either. You can take it back and save up the money or use it on something you guys really need! Start using these rules now for everything you can and itll really save. Sorry that was long but let me know if you need anything or want to talk! How old are you?

Congrats!!! Good luck!!!

ITA... babies don't really cost that much when they are little, except for diapers and formula (great reason to breastfeed!)

And if you find that money isn't flowing that heavily and you need to ask for help...then do it! There are many agencies that are around to help.

We never thought we could afford any of our children, but we have. God's way of providing doesn't always mean there is a check in your mailbox. But it can be a neighbor bringing over a box of wipes or a prepared meal.

Take a deep breath. It will all come together!
