So stressed out...I don't know what to do about money?
I don't know what to do and I feel like I have no options. I am 40 weeks pregnant and scheduled to be induced next week. My fiance was laid off from his construction job after we found out I was pregnant, so he gets only a little bit of unemployment money. I was also laid off from MY job after I got pregnant (they didn't know I was pregnant though, so there are no legal claims there). I did find a new job since then so we at least have benefits for the pregnancy and baby. The problem is that my employer doesn't offer any kind of paid maternity leave, not even short term disability. They told me I have to take six weeks unpaid leave and I can't return even then without a doctor's release. I don't know what to do because no one else will likely hire me and we probably won't have enough to cover everything with just my fiance's unemployment. My state provides no resources for us, and even WIC told me that we don't qualify because since I am on leave my pay will be considered in the income guidelines. It doesn't matter if I'm currently on unpaid leave or not. What can I do?
