unemployed and pregnant

i am currently so worried for the future because i am unemployed and pregnant. my husband is the only one working. even so, what he earns is just enought for both us. what more when the baby arrives. i found out i was pregnant the day i went for job interview. what are the odds, eh? 2 days after the interview i was offered the job. however i decided to tell the HR i was pregnant and was told the company do not hire pregnant women. previously, i had miscarriage. resigned and i took awhile to go back to work. now that i am ready, God grant me another baby. i just need to rant. if any mummies out there who has similar experience pls share. i need assurance that everything is going to turn out okay. my husband doesnt complain that im not working. he even assures me everyday that its okay and all he wants is for me and the baby to be healthy. but i feel so guilty for putting all the burden onto my husband :(

Hi mummy to be, I’m currently not working as well bc I had to go for unpaid maternity leave from the moment I found out I’m pregnant, due to my job requirements. My husband is the only one working and supporting us both. I’m due very soon, and so far we have been able to cope. Indeed, it hasn’t been easy. But we have to make do. Think of it as a silver lining that god blessed you with a baby at the time when you were just about to get the job. Maybe a much better job offer will come your way once baby is here. I always feel bad too about my husband working so hard for us, but thankfully our husbands are sincere in doing what’s best for us. And I feel that itself is such a blessing as well. Focus on keeping baby and yourself healthy. Don’t worry too much. I’m sure everything will turn out well for you. Better days are coming mummy. All the best!
