I still need half my labour bag and a
baby coat or jacket, nappies, all the
creams/lotions and talc and stuff for the
baby.
Got all the big stuff, just need all the
little stuff now.
I have been buying things slowley, because
I only get 25 pound each friday.
And now I turn 18 tomorrow, there stopping
paying me from social, because I have to
go on income support... Whihc, I wont
receive until the end of febuary, because
I wasent allowed too apply for income
support until yesterday.
And garry started his new job on monday,
and he goes from being paid fortnightly to
monthly, and his last pay check is
tomorrow, unitl the 25th of feb. And he
will have hardly any money tomorrow,
because I think he worked 4-6 days in the
last 2 weeks... And he still needs to
pay his mum 40 pound rent.
I wish I didnt have too turn 18, things
are so much easier being 17.

Sweetie pie. Don't worry things'll work
out. Did you tell "assistance" that you
have a baby coming any day and you're
gonna need help, cause i'm sure they'll
help you. I know here in canada they
have programs that help young mothers.
What about your family.. Can anyone help
you????

Yeh, they know im pregnant, I had too
fill out all these forms because of it, so
I get child benefits, and a maternity
grant.
But its going to take 3-4 weeks for all
the paperwork to go through, and I wont
receive any money until then.
Unfortunatly no one can give me extra help
with cash, because everyone is low on
money after christmas, and liek 60% of my
familys birthday are in january and
febuary, so its constintly,
"oo crap, gotta go buy so n so a card..
Best stick a fiver in there for em",
luckily nan sticks my name on all her
cards so I dont have too worry about that
at the moment.
I suppose i'll have to ask social for
extended payments, and I pay them back
when my income support is sorted.
But still, its only 25 pounds a week, and
I got a feeling a baby is a little more
expensive than that.
So I really hope she arrives on her due
date.

bloody hell..Assistance is a pain in the
arse... Check all your options and keep
your legs very tightly crossed-lol. I'm
sure everything will work out. What
about garry's family??? Sorry i'm a lil
nosy........

With assistance yeah its ruff. Just keep
your hopes up and atleast know that your
getting something. The dollare stores
have alot of stuff for babies to, or
pregnancy place like here we have birth
right, aaa, and another one I think I dont
know the name. Call your local social
services or shelter and they will let you
know. I know what you mean. Im broke to
but I thank god I still have food a roof
and clothes a place to shower and sleep.
So remember it all seems bad but it could
be worse. Sorry so long but I know what
your feeling right now

Yeh, I will admit, it could be alot worse
than it is.
Also though, I will technically be
"homeless" tomorrow. Although because a
relative is fostering me, I wont have no
where to go.
Everything is so stressful. That wont
make me go into labour sooner will it?
Being over stressed.
Garry's family have like less money than
my family unfortunatly. Garry is the
only person that works in his house. And
his mum relys on income support, though
she wont even be getting that soon, there
making her go get a job, because her
partner dosent work, so he can lok after
the kids.

there is always a place for you to go.
There are shelters friends family,
churches that will help you, and there are
places that help pregnant women. I was
homeless when I had xaveria my oldest, and
a shelter helped me get into the place
that I am in now. So dont think of it
that way hun. Just do some research and
calling around. Also yes stress can
trigger labor so try to take it as easy as
possible. I have been through all of this
and im still going through some things
now. So you arent the only one. About
the income support they will only help you
for a little bit. I wish you well and
luck for I know how it feels to wonder
what you are going to do how your going to
eat and etc. Just remember take it day by
day and it will peace together. I wish I
could help you out
