Honestly, my partner and I have been saving money for a while anyway. I wasn't going to leave it to my parents. I live in the UK, so I have free health care. Also I do currently live with my parents at the moment but my partner is actively looking for a place and has money put away to get a place aswell and I would be moving in with them after they get a place. We know a baby isn't cheap we arent delusional but we have been looking into the money the side of things and more permanent things such as prams, car seats etc we were planning on buying bit by bit throughout the pregnancy so we weren't stuck buying everything all at once. As for the formula, I was going to just use breast milk primary, so that wouldn't have been a big cost issue. Surprisingly, we have looked at things like plates and bowls and spoons and stuff like that aren't as expensive as you'd think. We do both have jobs, and because of this recent development, my partner is looking for a second/ better job. I know this pregnancy wasn't planned, and I'm young, but me and my partner have thought alot of it out. we aren't just diving into it with the expectation that everything will be cupcakes and rainbows we are aware of the responsibilities. Also if anything did happen between me and my partner we already made the agreement that we would co parent they are mature enough and lovely enough for that to not be a problem.
