Hi I'm 5 months pregnant now & im on job seekers allowance as I had to give up my job due to complications in my early pregnancy. I get £230 a month and I'm really struggling as I rent my own flat privately. I have to pay £34 electric a month. Phone bill £36. Rent £30. I also pay water but I can't remember what I pay exactly. Then I get some food shopping as well which seems to run out quicker the more pregnant I get. I don't buy anything for myself at all. All my tops are too small now because of my bump but I have to save to be able to replace them. I don't get any help from the babies father as he don't wanna know his child. So I'm hoping you can give me some advice on whether I can do anything? I've also tried applying for jobs but no one will take me on being as big as I am I can't even hide my pregnancy as I'm so petite
