I was recently laid off from my job while I am 35 weeks pregnant, and it's been a challenging time. I feel like no employer wants to hire me right now, knowing that I will be taking maternity leave soon. I’m in a male-dominated field, and I’m worried about the gap in my resume that will occur if I don’t find a job before I give birth. I had originally planned for three months of paid maternity leave, but now that’s all gone since I was laid off. I'm contemplating whether I should disclose my pregnancy to potential employers, as they will likely notice it once I start working. I’m looking for advice on how to navigate this situation and manage the gap in my employment history.

I was laid off from my job in Colorado just one month before my due date, and I’m feeling incredibly stressed about the situation. With the impending birth of my child, I have a lot of questions regarding what steps I should take next, especially concerning medical bills and insurance coverage. I’ve heard that COBRA might be an option, but I know it can be quite expensive. I’m also considering applying for state-paid medical insurance, as I’ve been told that it might allow me to keep my current doctor without needing to switch. If anyone has been through a similar experience or has advice on how to navigate this challenging time, I would greatly appreciate your insights. Thank you in advance!
