Mom To Be

First and foremost congrats to you on your engagement and the new addition you will be making to your household. I don't know where you are from but here in Canada we have a program called Social Assistance. It's not much but at least it's something. We also have some other programs which include: Healthy baby and another one after the baby is born you get a monthly check for having a child. All incomes that help you in raising and caring for your child. If you need any additional information just let me know.

I'm not sure what you could do other then maybe set yourself up with some babysitting. I know that's how i am getting some extra money here and there. I babysit for a friend when she is at work. She pays me 20-30 dollars a day depending on how long i sit for. . I dont know how EASY that would be with a newborn, lol... I'm not sure waht else to suggest to you other then maybe you could try employment insurance. In canada we get an entire year of maternity leave as long as we've worked 600 hours in the last year, and worked the last 26 weeks before having the baby. I went on mat leave and just never went back to my job.. well i did, but then i quit again a few months later cause i wanted to stay home with the baby. What if you just cut back on some of your expenses ?

Well first congratulations! to your baby on the way.. work at home is tight but atleast you can have something that can help in bearing the expenses.. first you already here in mylot which my two friend who just got their new baby is enjoying while taking care of the baby. atleast you something to do after your baby sleep and finish your duty... with extra income...

Too bad you said moving was not an option, or I would have said move to Finland or something. I think in that country you get three years off to just take care of your baby, and they do give you financial support too. Doesn't that sound like an amazing thing?! Anyway, back to your situation. Are you fast at typing? Maybe you can try one of those work-at-home jobs where you're entering information from websites for money. The faster you work, the more you get paid with that, however, I don't know if the income would be enough to supplement your finances. There are also the survey sites that pay you to take surveys, and again, I don't know what the earning potential is like, but it could be worth researching. I also like the idea of cutting down on your expenses! It's a surefire way to help out your situation, and hopefully will result in less stress for you!

Congratulations and welcome to mylot! In order to offer suggestions, I would have to know more about your talents and interest. I can't see why you couldn't continue with your business. Newborns eat, sleep and poop. They wake up every 3-4 hours so you would have a bit of time to spend on your business. What kind of job do you do now and can it be done at home? Have you looked into Virtual Assistant jobs? There are quite a few possibilities, you need to keep your eyes open for options!
