I won’t have any paid maternity leave, any advice?

I have a great job. My boyfriend and I can comfortable pay our bills while we’re both working. I’m due June 20th and won’t have any paid time off because I hadn’t elected for the right benefits (this pregnancy was a happy surprise). I’m getting pretty stressed about what our finances will look like when the baby comes because I want to stay home with baby as much as possible. I was considering getting a job at a coffee shop where I could work 5-9 am or something and my boyfriend could go to work at 9:30 so we wouldn’t need childcare. I’m just wondering if anyone has any advice or tips. I’m in a management position for Buckle right now and could also stay there when the baby comes but we’d need childcare and I’m hoping to avoid this.
