Well First of all Congratulations! The stresses come and go through out the pregnancy, but I am sure you guys will be just fine. This is you and your husbands choice, not your mom's, and if she is that concerned about what's best for you I am sure that she will support you guys. I don't think there is anyone that doesn't stress about finances when they find out they are pregnant...I know I have, but I've learved over the years that things always have a way of working themselfs out and it is never my worrying that fixes it. I hope you are able to share with your husband soon. Are you not able to call him at all? I'm sure this is one of those things where he would like to know...even if you call and leave a message for him to call you as soon as he can, but if you have to wait till he gets home, then that will just build the excitement. You sound like you guys have a wonderful foundation and will do great as parents. Someone once told me that if you wait until you're ready to have kids, you never will. No one ever has EVERYTHING, least of all money, completely in order when they have their first child. You will do fine. Congrats again!

i totally understand where you are coming from with all this. the first thing you gotta do is take a deep breath! alot of people told me and my husband to enjoy life as a married couple before we got pregnant, and we had only been married just over a year when i got pregnant. [we went on our belated honeymoon :P haha] your life wont be over, it will just include another person in it besides you hubby. thats the way i look at it. as far as money goes, it falls into place as long as your good about how you spend it. and you guys will find a house of you own soon enough, this stuff takes time but it all works out in the end, you really dont have to worry about buying things for the baby because i know when i fist found out i was pregnant i was like oh my goodness! how am i gonna do this? and everyone seems to know someone who just had a baby so you get tons and tons of hand-me-downs and tons and tons of new things too. my husbands cousin had given me a practically new stroller carseat pack and play and changing table. and my husbands grandma bought us a crib and a vast majority of my babies clothes nad my mom bought me a swing and tons of clothes and everthing else was bought or given to me at my baby shower, i dont have to buy a thing. i guess what im getting at is everything will be okay! so have not worries. you baby will be taken care of, even if you mom doesnt really like teh idea at first i will grow on her when she sees your belly start to swell and see that first ultrasound picture! i promise you that! i hope all of this helps! good luck and if you need to chat about anything dont be afraid to message me!

I found out I was pregnant with my son at 19. My mother was the same way...wanted me to wait etc. My son is now 17 and they are very close and she will tell you that she was WRONG!!! She told everybody the day he was born that her life finally began because of him. She loves being a grandmother. Don't let your mother spoil what is obviously wonderful news!!! She will be excited, trust me. Congrats!!

Congrats!!! Babies are blessings, and blessings come when they are ready. Be it 3 years or 2 months. There are so many things that run through your mind when you find out, but once you really realize you are pregnant and that its ok you feel better about it promise. As for the money part of it, they are spendy little things, but somehow you make it regardless of what situation you are in financially. I myself cut out my daily coffee and at 5+ a day I easily brought in $100 a month, that makes up for all the diapers Im going through now. CONGRATUALTIONS! enjoy your time being pregnant, and enjoy this time with your husband.
