I'm not sure about the maternity benefit situation, maybe ring around and see if there's any hope.
Sorry to hear this, it's a tough situation. My husband lost his job last may and is entitiled to no dole so I know what it's like to be worried about the future. I hope everything works out okay for you, a baby is a wonderful ray of light, you will get through this.
