Back to PGCE

I'm wondering if anyone can offer advice. Last year I started a PGCE and within weeks found out I was pregnant. The course tutor told me to carry on until 38 weeks. She didn't take me seriously and no policies put in place. So I've applied for student finance for my last term and they're not going to give me any childcare grant because we're over the threshold (in London), they also don't know how much student finance I'm going to get until the start date, and there's a chance it might not cover childcare .Meanwhile nursery fees are £1300 pcm. My course have had no problem telling me they'll make no allowances for me and I cannot drop to PT. I am starting to dread finishing the course, I've lost all desire to become a classroom teacher and know better than to go through my NQT year with a small child. Ideally I'd finish it but they're making it so difficult and I feel like I'm being set up to fail because ontop of FT teaching , planning, marking etc I also have alot of assignments. I started really wanting to teach but I'm disheartened by the amount of times I've had to explain my daughter is my priority to them. What should I do?
