Hello everyone. Just looking for some advice here. My hubby and I just discovered I am pregnant, and while we are thrilled, we aren't sure we have any options because of our situation. We are a two income family, low to moderate and already know we would not be able to afford our basics on his salary alone. I plan to work as long as possible, but it is a highly stressful and physically demanding job with no options for maternity leave. I will have to quit when the time comes. We thought we might be able to get some government assistance temporarily until I could go back to work, but from what i have seen we are ineligible because my husband is a Permanent Resident Alien, but not a US Citizen. Without any sort of assistance, the three of us will not be able to live on $1500/ month. Does anyone know if I'm incorrect here? We have both worked hard all of our lives, we've played by all the rules, I hate to think that we will have to terminate our pregnancy out of desperation.
