In need of diapers but have no money....help?

Finding a job is so difficult being pregnant...why is it hard?? I mean I can still be a very hard worker ... I clean my mom's entire house *deep cleaning once a week* I also clean my grandparents house once a week and also help with yard work and well is having a toddler hard work lol??

Anyways, I  can stand for longer hrs, i can bend over frequently and lift up to 50lbs or more. I can be a good hard worker....but for some reason employers won't believe it.

I am 10wks from having a baby and while I have the crib ready, a carseat ready, TONS and TONS of coupons for formula (not that i'd need that cause i plan on breastfeeding up to 6mon. at least), diapers, wipes, baby medicines, baby lotions and shampoos. I already have baby shampoos, lotions and medicines cause I have a toddler. My toddler is potty trained so no need for diapers or wipes or formula so I don't have them. I am currently unemployed and fighting hard as hell to find a job and start working but due to pregnancy I have not been able to find a job that I can start working at. My mom has been helping me raise my toddler with things he may need while he's here during (weekend) visits (i do not have custody [why, doesn't matter] currently..for now). But as of now that's all she can really help with due to she just got a brand new car which looks AMAZING (:(:

anyways enough with the baggering. umm how can I get completely ready for baby before he comes? Possibly without applying for state assistance, how can I afford or get diapers and wipes?

I'd ask the baby's dad but for personal reasons he's not going to be in baby's life (just saying incase anyone mentions it).

This. Post on freecycle asking for diapers too. I needed some to cover a few days until we got paid and I ended up getting a months worth.

What's freecycle? I just need enough that'd cover the first month cause I know I can get a job very very quick after pregnancy//recovery

I can't say where you can get diapers for free but Amazon has a mom's club where you van get a great discount on diapers and they ship them to you for free.

For real! Just go get some help for you and your baby, then get a job! No big deal!

This, and there are a lot of churches that offer free assistance. My church, for instance, has a Good Samaritans House to help with baby needs, food, clothing, bus vouchers, etc.
Check around!

Tshirts, pillow cases, and recieving blankets with wash rags as inserts and wash rags as wipes. Best emergancy diapers ever! At least until you can get a job to pay for disposies.
