Extremely stress out on financial

Hi mummies, i need a little advice or help. This is my first pregnancy and i am financially in debt with bank loans at a young age. Truth be told , i was a very big spender and every time my salary comes , within a week it will be finished. When i quit my old job and wanted to find another job , thats when i found out I was pregnant and ever since i couldnt find any job. It has been 2 months of being unemployed with zero savings. No one wanted to hire me because the company doesnt want to be liable shall anything happen to me. Does anyone know where i can seek financial help etc ? I am at my wits end and im trying my best to stay positive and i cant but im trying for the sake of my health and my baby's 😭#pleasehelp #firsttimemom #advicemommies #advicepls

Oh dear… financial stress is really real and it does affect mental health in the long run, especially when baby is born. Hmm are you staying on your own or with parents? You can seek help at your neighbourhood family service centre. The social workers there can assess your financial situation and see if there is any financial assistance that can be applied for you. It’s case by case basis and they do see the total income of your household. It may be intimidating to step in to seek help… but know that sometimes we just need a temporary support so we can move forward :) Hope it helps!
