Nope you're doing better than me when I was a single mum
Don't think of it as throwing your career away, you're only putting it on hold for about 5 years and you could always work part-time as a TA or sub teacher or something once you get past the NB stage and can bear to leave bubs! Keeps your finger in the pie right??
Its not so normal for people to own their own houses these days and assets? Ha most people don't know what they are
I suggest a. taking a test so you know for sure, b. setting some realistic goals for the next 9m about what you need to have for baby and what you need to put aside money-wise, do you need to find a new place to live? etc etc. (and don't set your goals too high - baby doesn't need much and 2ndhand is always smart!) and c. cut yourself some slack
sometimes the most unexpected surprises become gifts that make your life what you always dreamed and never thought was possible. My son did that for me
GL!!

Sometimes we don't give our babies, or ourselves as mamas, the ideal start but its how we take it from there that counts.
