How will we cope? Going to be homeless soon and pregnant..

[LaurenH2B]

Hi, Hope it's okay to post in this section..

I'm lauren i'm 19 and 10+2 with my first.

I'm so worried how my husband and i will cope when the baby comes..

a little bit of back story.. We got married aug 2014 and my husband was in the army he's now leaving the army in march and we will be homeless as the army currently houses us.. not only that but I don't have a job but I am looking and he doesnt have a new job yet, also he'll be earning a lot less than in the army so does anyone know of any help we can get?

We'll never be able to afford rent, bills, baby etc on one low wage and i'm so worried when he leaves the army we'll be in a homeless shelter with no jobs..

We have bills that need to be paid and have a huge loan to be paid off and i desperately dont want to go bankrupt.

I know it's a huge mess but anyone know what could happen to us? Or anything we could be entitiled to or just any advice?

Thanks xxx

Go to citizens advice, they will give you advice on somewhere to live and benefits.

I agree about talking to CAB, they will give you advice on housing, homelessness and any benefits you are entitled to... Just about anything really! I hope you get some help and figure everything out!

P.S.. Congratulations!

I was homeless too when pregnant... my advice get housing benefit forms, research them then find some where and fill them in as soon as the place is yours, it might take a month or 2 but everything will be back paid, wish Id known how it all worked earlier instead of sleeping on sofas for months
