Pregnant and facing redundancy

Hi everyone!
I've never posted on here before but I'm looking for people with a similar experience to share their story. I'm 9 weeks pregnant, baby due October, and am currently facing a redundancy process at work.
It's really stressing me out. If I am made redundant, my contract will end at the end of August. What I would like to know is, would I still be eligible for statutory maternity pay? What support is out there? My partner works, but this wouldn't cover our monthly bills. We also have a 5 year old. Please let me know any advice or experience you have that is similar x

Hello @LulaKoba - really sorry to read about what must be a stressful and difficult situation. I'm just jumping in quickly to say that this week we are running a free online legal advice clinic about everything to do with employment and pregnancy and your rights in work as a parent, with Maternity Action. Volunteers will give you free advice on your particular situation if you post your question on the thread (they will message you privately for the info you don't want to post publicly). It ends Friday.

Thanks!
