Being Finacially Prepared

Every parent wants the best for there child and many people prepare for the arrival of there child years in advance by finding stable jobs and stable relationships. In my case I had been working for most of my pregnancy and managed to save up money. Although I had a job it was not a high paying job, it was just enough for a college student to get by with the support of there parents. I had planned on breastfeeding since I would be a stay at home mom, and because it is healthier, I am under my dads insurance so I figured that would pay for any medical expenses. When I was 7-months pregnant I was told by my doctor that I would have to pay $375 for doctors fees. I was unsure as to why i had to pay but come to find out we have a 10 percent deductible. After my baby was born I was unable to breastfeed because I was not producing enough milk, milk has become somewhat like a monthly bill. These are just a few bumps in the road when it comes to raising a baby. Although I have been able to financially support my daughter since birth by myself if need be, I feel it is important for expectant parents to be financially prepared for there newborn.
