it's never too early to start planning..... if you feel you might be pregnant, i'd really suggest starting to save money where you can now and save it... if you find you're not pregnant later on, well you have some extra money to spend, if you do find you are, well you got some money to start using towards your new baby...

babies are extremely expensive..... infact, raising a child is almost definately the most expensive thing you will ever do in your life, aside from goign super famous and living the 'rich life'....

IMHO (and tons of others) start saving NOW.... even if it's just pennies here and there, SAVE IT... becuase if you are, youw ill need it eventually...

also the day you find out you are offically pregnant, start making calls to sign up for WIC, Medicaid and any help that is local to your area you can.... hell, we wouldn't have been able to afford to feed our son formula if it wasn't for WIC alone..... that stuff is extremely expensive...
i totally agree with this, start saving, they are so bloody expensive, you could buy him or her a babygro, bu next week hes probably grown out of it and needs a new one, u ned nappys, there 10 pound ago each week, milk 8 pounds a week, not forgetting baby wipes, cream for there bums, bottles and teats, sterilizer, u need clothes, shoes, grows, socks, and when they hit 4months, you nedd to start weaning them, more expense.
its defently worth the while saving up, they are bloody expensive creatures, im telling ya hun, and if any one diss you for being a young mum, then tell them to shve it up their arse, and get on with their own lifes, im 19 and have had all the dissaproving looks and comments, so i get a dirty nappy and shove it their face, naaa i dont, but would like to.
think carefully tho, when i had my son i got major post natel depression and nearlly left my son, i also had to leave my house and move with my mother in law as i couldnt afford the rent.
