I’m pregnant with my first and I could not be happier! Love my job but I just realized they will not be paying my leave :( it’s a privately owned cosmetic center. I’m thrown in for a loop because they will give me 3months off, just not paid. I understand it’s not required and I completely understand. But now I’m stressing, my husband will be the only one working and I will probably have to give up my car that I just got in May:( again fine, we can manage transportation. I’m just supper bummed out. Not getting paid for 3 mo the really affects a lot of my life.

I was wondering if anyone went through the same and how they dealt with it. I’m currently paying off my last credit card and I’m like 2 payments away. But then the holidays are around the corner and I won’t be able to get anyone gifts ughhh🥺

I don’t know if I will be applicable for WIC/Food Stamps. My partner and I are married so I’m not sure if they will accept me. Then I’m wondering will their food really even help? I eat pretty healthy and splurge on good produce. Any advise?
