Create a budget and try to save as much as possible before the baby arrives.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of maternity leave if applicable.

It's also a good idea to have an emergency fund in case of unforeseen expenses.

infact one should first read this before starting out if you cannot cope forget about having a baby it will not work.
That post is from a standpoint of experience. Babies are expensive to nurture from infabcy because they are very sensitive. If one does not have adequate finances, such a person should rest.

Expecting a baby is one intriguing thing that I always advise people that are not financially strong not to indulge. The cost of nursing a baby is very high and it is meant for financially secure individuals.

During the pandemic, the budgeting for twins were so tight. Just imagine that you need to provide double the budget for twin babies.
I should congratulate you for successful shouldering such weighty responsibility during a period of scarce monetary resources.
I am sure that you put your business skills to the maximum test.
The principles of business are applicable in all spheres of life.

When you consider the cost of diapers and canned baby food, raising a baby scares me to the moon. I want to be very prepared financially before stepping into this. It is hugely financially demanding

Easily said than done. I was thinking same thing before I got married that arrangement must be made by couple before the arrival of their babies. But things are not easily possible as imagined.

I respect people like you that have even found the nerves to get married. That alone is financial responsibilities not to talk of having babies. I am waiting to be financially secure to think of that m

I don't think marriage is much of a big deal though. As far as you marry a working lady. The real challenge is in having babies. Those ones don't understand economic situations at all.

I do not have a baby, but I am sure that it is a hard thing to have a baby and manage the expenses because it is just too hard for many people to survive as the economy is poor. You must have extra money in order to bear expenses.

If you are not earning an equivalent of $300, don't ever think of having a baby. These kind of responsibilities are financially demanding and one has to plan before going into it.

Budgeting for baby needs should be done as early as possible .baby clothes , hospital bills and so on.some people do wait till the last minute before they start running Helter skelter in getting baby stuffs at delivery period which is mostly unplanned.

For instance, you are saving for the arrival of your expected baby, then suddenly your wife fall sick and has to be admitted and thereon you have to. Spend everything you had saved for her survival.

It is very important for you to make all the arrangements that will ensure buy everything that you need for your baby before your wife born because you cannot be getting all those things after your wife must have been in birth.

This is deep brother. I think one just has to pray for all to be good given this circumstances. At that point, there is nothing that you can do but to save the wife so that the baby would be safe. I can't help but to demonstrate faith here that in this situation, you need divine help. B

When my sister was expecting a baby, the items alone that she bought amounted up to an equivalent of $300. And this inflation has caused such items to rise in double fold.
