19 weeks and Money worries

Hi guys , I hope I have posted in the right place I didn't know where to post !

Long story short I've got myself into trouble with money not by going on lavish holidays or treating myself to beauty treatments but because when I left my ex husband I racked up bills trying to get into a rented property as well as still having to pay half of the mortgage for my marital home. When I took out the loan and credit cards I did it in mind that when the marital home sold I would be able to pay the loan and credit cards off. Things changed for the better for me and I found my new partner and things moved quickly and unexpectedly we found out we were pregnant, a very lovely incredible amazing suprise ❤️ ! Now 19 weeks into my new pregnancy my house still has not sold , my ex husband has his mother and new girlfriend living there but he seems to be almost dragging his heals with the house sale (a lot of reviews saying the house looks uncared for) .. with going on maternity and my income from my current full time job role due to drop to smp I'm really worried about these 'debts' I've racked up! We are now having to move into a bigger a place in the next month as our current one bedroom flat is to small. Obviously my new partner will be paying for the new place as much as he can but I'm worried about my repayments for the loans and credit cards and I also want to be able to pay my way towards rent and bills so my partner is financially pressured as well.
I know it's my fault for getting them but I was in a desperate situation and I did it with the mind of paying them off as soon as I got my money back from the house sale.

Any advice ? X

Could you speak to a debt consolidation company? My friend used PayPlan and said they were very good.. it may affect your credit as you will be paying back what you can afford but it could be a temporary measure until you are back at work/house gets sold?
Good luck with everything x
