I was laid off from my job at a tech company while I was 6.5 months pregnant. I never expected to find myself in this situation, and now I'm facing the loss of my health insurance in California while trying to prepare for my baby's arrival. It's been incredibly overwhelming. I feel lost and like I've failed both myself and my unborn daughter. I'm struggling to figure out my next steps, but the thought of job hunting feels daunting. I'm worried that potential employers will see my pregnancy and hesitate to hire me, especially since I would need to inform them about my upcoming maternity leave shortly after starting. The idea of having a gap in my resume is also terrifying. I'm reaching out to see if anyone else has experienced something similar and how they coped. Right now, I feel scared and without a plan.
