BornWin5656's journey

I am currently facing an uncertain situation at work, and I'm six months pregnant. My company recently underwent a merger, which resulted in layoffs of all full-time employees while only retaining contractors like myself. Unfortunately, our contracts were reduced from two years to just three months. I was already pregnant when this happened, and I had hoped to hold on long enough to secure my maternity leave, but my job search has been fruitless so far. I am awaiting one more contract extension, but during the last round, I wasn't provided with a clear end date—just told I would be here 'through June.' Despite my attempts to get clarity, I received vague responses, and now both managers who could clarify my situation have decided to go on vacation without informing anyone. So, I continue to show up to work, uncertain if my credentials will still grant me access. It's a dreadful feeling, and I know several others in the same boat. The stress and hopelessness are overwhelming. My partner has a stable job and health insurance for himself and our baby, but he can't cover all the bills alone. I have about three months' worth of savings, and unemployment benefits in my state are quite low. I'm starting to wonder if there’s any chance of finding a job at this stage of my pregnancy. Even if I do, I worry I won't have any time to bond with my newborn, which breaks my heart. I'm feeling lost and unsure of my next steps. Has anyone else experienced a layoff during pregnancy? How did you manage?
