Shana, I'm afraid you're in a really tough situation. Have you tried contacting your local women's resource center? They might be able to point you to resources in your area that can help. Churches and other social service groups might also be able to provide some leads.

Kay, if your company doesn't offer to pay for maternity leave, you can get in touch with your local women resource center or employment assistance office. They may be able to advise you on your rights and put you touch with organizations that can help you. Also, read our article about Maternity Leave Rights to find out if are eligible for leave.

There is much advice on what to do as far as saving now for your new infant...What I want to know is, what happens when your company does not offer pay for your maternity leave? Do you have any other resources?

Tiffany, since so much assistance is localized, your best bet is to contact local assistance organizations and human services group. Churches or other non-profits that are focused on helping in their community might be another good resource.
