Default How do you cope with money matters while pregnant?

We all know that pregnancy is also synonymous to loads of money spending! How are you coping? Any suggestions on how moms to be save up some money? It's a real challenge... Any suggestion how to earn some extra?

Saving isn't really difficult. It's just a matter of self-discipline and controlling one's urge to spend. I am used to spending adjustment whenever I get pregnant as I know what to prioritize and which to put at the bottom of my "expenses" list. My health and that of my baby's are my top priority, so I cut some shopping and regular night-outs on posh restaurants so as to divert the funds to our savings for my baby's arrival. The good ole pen and paper to list down my daily, weekly and monthly budget extremely help us in managing our finances.

If you can find a job wherein you can work from home then that would be most beneficial. You can do all your preparations for the baby and earn money at the same time!

I had troubles with saving money at the beginning of the pregnancy but now I just got used to it.

That's a good idea for some. As for me, I love mingling with people and going to work when I was pregnant. I just love the attention, and their gifts too! LOL

Same here. Thing is if you're working, better stop or take the maternity leave around the 3rd trimester. This is the period where all I wanna do is take a rest and sleep like the whole day.

I guess that's one of the perks of being pregnant... And I'm so freaking wanting to get pregnant ASAP!!

It's thinking twice, perhaps thrice, in making big purchases as the need for extra quids may arise not only during pregnancy. Much more when the baby arrives.

Oh well... I guess it all goes down to buying the needs and leaving out the wants. :S
