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, i am also unemployed since I got pregnant and my husband is the one supoorting me. I am 7 months pregnant now and will see till LO is 6 months old- 12 months to see if I am ready to go back to work. As long as your hubby supports you don't think too much. You are a TEAM. I also feel that I am burdening my husband but I take it that Ia am resting my body and preparing for baby arrival. Meanwhile, u can just make sure house is clean and do some cooking:) So u feel worthy too!

Yes by having a clean house and with home cooked food is already the best that you can do! your Hubby also will feel relaxed and can eat! 😊 Just don't worry too much. Enjoy ur pregnancy journey now. You have more time to enjoy and feel baby movements and talk to baby. You will also feel calm and less stressed and this will affect baby positively too. Keep going! You can think about contributing to the household financially when your body is ready ✌
