[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you have family nearby or a support system? Try to join a mom group that is operating virtually if you can, so you can find emotional support and practical advice for the day to day baby piece of this. Talk to your doctor and tell them that you are going to be doing this alone and need help finding cheap or affordable new mom resources for emotional and practical support.

If SO is out of your home, you need to start getting child support from him ASAP. Have the two of you discussed custody? Try to lean your budget and see if you can afford to hire help for some parts of your life, like cleaners, or if you will have baby 100% of the time then see if you can afford to have a mother's helper or nanny come a couple days per week. Maybe look into counselling through the hospital where you delivered or privately if you can afford it.

This forum has a lot of people who think that children need private school, fully funded private college, etc. but hundreds of millions of babies are being raised in loving, happy homes without the bells and whistles. It's going to be hard but you need to get into problem-solving mode now, get the financial side in order, and make sure you are taking care of your own mental health so you can be there for baby.[/quote]
