I've just found out I'm pregnant, which I would be overjoyed about, if it wasn't for the fact I've just been made redundant and my DH's job is also at risk. I have been applying for jobs, as I need to at least work until the baby is due. I know I wouldn't get maternity benefits etc, but is it just cr*p to turn up and then say 'actually, I'm pregnant and I need to bugger off for 6 months or more?" We could live on DH's salary and tax credits, but if DH loses his job we would be royally screwed. We have never been unemployed so we have a fairly large mortgage and bills. I have no idea how we would pay them if both of us were out of work.
