Over the past weeks, we’ve come to realize that there are a lot of different costs related to pregnancy, such as doctor consultations, scans, vitamins, supplements, maternity wear, childbirth related courses, baby clothes, bottles, etc. And this is going to be an ongoing thing. So we’ve decided to dedicate 1 post to track all our expenses over the 9 months of pregnancy. This post will continually be updated as and when the expenses are incurred. Hopefully, this will give us a good guideline as to how much we need to save and prepare for this and also subsequent child. Of course, our readers can also benefit from this and plan their finances ahead.
