I'm working 2 full time jobs to support myself and save up money for when the baby comes, I have to continue working this much even after he comes, but I'm not sure how I'm going to do that. I don't have a support system of family and friends close to me, and not sure how I'm going to do all this. Any advice

Honestly, I would pray about it. You would be amazed at how awesome prayer works. Maybe try a local church and see if they have any good daycare programs. Who knows you might even meet some really nice people that you would trust w/ your baby and would be willing to help babysit. Good luck:)

Its going to be hard but as the other ladies said u should talk to a womens resource center they will no about different benefits that you could apply for in Canada there is low income housing they only take a percentage of how much u make much cheaper then renting but often very full also subsidy that pays for some day care tax credits universal 100 and the other depends on how much u make there is also free training if u talk to job banks they can help u apply but this is all for Canada. As for working two jobs with a new born and no help i would start looking into an alternative because your going to be beat im sure u can do it if u have to but thats going to be really hard. I wish u the best

breastfeeding will get rid of a LOT of the cost of having a baby...you are already paying rent...if you are a single mother, you will probably qualify for subsidized daycare when you go back to work...
where are you? Canada has Child tax credits that you can apply for as soon as they are born, and America has WIC (sp?)
There are a million agencies and programs that are there to help you...do you have any student debt? cause if not, you may be able to use this as an opportunity to get an education for cheap...Student loans give you enough to live on, you only have to leave the house 3 hours a day...and by the time you get your degree, your child is ready to start school and you don't have to worry about daycare as much.
Good Luck...I know it seems scary, but you'll be OK.

Just pray and let god deal with your problems. He wouldn't put nothing more on you than he thinks that you wouldn't be able to handle.

You;re going to need to take some time off. at least a week or two, see, what kind of assisstance you can get when he comes and when you do go back to work, you're going to need to out him in daycare if you have no family to look after him. You'll have to find a daycare taht takes newborns, and you shuold probably find out if they have a subsidy program in your area to help with the expense of daycare. It'll be hard but you cn do it! and congrats on your little one!
