Pregnant and worried

Am due to be made redundant very soon and have just found out I am also pregnant with 2nd. I am going for interviews but keep panicking about not finding another job in time. I haven't claimed benefits before (apart from mat leave / child tax credits) and am unsure if we I will qualify for anything else as my hubby works (but is not a higher rate tax payer)
I know I will get SMP but just wondering if there is any other help available? I could really do with some advice Confused Thanks.

Run your stats through the Turn2Us Benefits Calculator and see if there's anything potentially up for grabs. NB. It is only accurate to April but should be updated shortly with the rules for the new tax year. If the fact that you no longer earn a salary means your total household income is below about £33,000 then you may qualify. Good luck finding another job.
