What is typical for expectant parent expenses?

personally, we didnt want to pay expenses First we didnt have any extra money to spend, second, i dont think its right to "pay" for a baby. maybe in an extreme case where the mom would be homeless and couldnt work because of the pregnancy, and in that case paying rent and maybe food woudl be acceptable for a month or two, but other than taht i kinda figure she would have these expenses whether or not she was placing, so thats not my responnsibility to pay for that. it borders on coersive in my mind. I guess i always think, what did she do before she was pg?? I mean, yes, there are some expenses related to pregnancy, but your rent doesnt go up, your utilities dont go up, your phone doesnt go up, etc just because you are pg. Maybe some extra food, gas to go to doctor appts, etc Bottom line was we couldnt afford to lose ANY money, so we didnt agree to any expenses. Plus, matching in the first trimester is pretty risky on top of expenses. Good luck, Rach
