Answer Hi Kathy,
You're completely wrong unfortunately honey!
For a start it can take up too 2 years to get pregnant. And I know how it feels that your in love and you think its never going to end.
I thought the same and I was wrong. Explaining why I am a single mother.
Also, you have to buy things like prams, clothes, food, soothers, steralizers, cots, bottles.
Paying for just one child from the thing's that I don't already get I am around £150 a week which is about $300.
The things you need before the babys born are :
Pushchair- $250
Soothers- $50
Clothes - $400-500
Cot & Bedding - $300
Carseat - $200
Sterilizer - $200
Wardrobes - £100
Chaning facilites - $ 90
Then once the babys born -
Dippers - $50 weekly
Feed - $50-60 weekly
Wipes - $20-30 weekly
Clothes - $100/$200 monhly ( children grow fast)
And much much more!
Also once the child grows into a tot you need another pushchair, high chair, clothes, toys, more food that they goverment dont pay for etc.
It's a hard job, you get judged and also yo will constantly be under social services and if they think your to young and immature the child will get took off you!
I would seriously consider it before going any further, I have 2 children. I do regert it, although I love them. I wish I had waited so I could give them a better life.
