Reply to comment by Creepy-Floor-1745 in Found myself unexpectedly pregnant. Need to get my s**t together by coldbloodedcreatures

I do have paid maternity leave and quite a bit of sick and vacation time that needs to be used prior to the end of the year, so my cash flow is no issue at all. Thanks!

Oh that’s great - what a relief!

It’s not just for the maternity leave that you need the cash for. Sometimes things happen like an extended stay in nicu ir other special circumstances. It’s worth stashing up the cash. You just don’t know. Not just bed rest, sometimes we have kids who need more than the typical baby and require things like medically necessary formula. Sometimes we have kids born that need much more than just special formula. I hope everything goes really well for you and the baby. It won’t hurt to save more cash in case there are complications that you didn’t expect.
