Hi guys

Firstly please no judgements - I'm not using my pregnancy as an excuse not to work, but through necessity I need to.

Background - I have an 8yr old daughter and am currently 16wk pregnant. I had a heavy bleed early on and am under a consultants care.

I currently work 6 days a week as a courier - but I'm self employed. I'm not entitled to maternity leave/pay.

I've been told today by my midwife that she's not happy with my work and hours. I'm already aching and showing signs of spd.

My question is - can I get any financial support such as esa until the end of my pregnancy? I can't find anything at the moment as flexible as my current job but with less hours. The few interviews I have had the managers have clearly dismissed me because I'm pregnant and obviously they know I won't be there for much longer.

Any help greatly appreciated
