Hi Lbclin. Welcome to Psych Central. I am sorry you and your partner are having a tough time. Having a baby also redefines a relationship and changes it. I think a professional like a therapist or psychiatrist can help prepare you for the birth of your baby and the new roles you will have. They even may consider therapy options both during and after having the baby. Your partner may need to have a third person (counselor or therapist) in the room to come to terms with the changes. At the least you could benefit greatly from the experience. Check to see what your insurance covers. Also consider filing for unemployment even if you quit your job you may be able to collect some benefits. There may also be other benefits that your state offers to expectant mothers that could ease your burden. There are many options to consider. Going it alone is a scary course in my estimation. Having advocates to help you could be a big difference in the quality of life.
