It has left me penniless and worried about losing my home

I found out I was four weeks pregnant after starting my new job as a senior carer assistant and the girls I worked with knew about it. I never got round to telling the manager because she already knew due to me being stabbed in the back by my co workers. I then got pulled in to the office and I was told they were sacking me ‘because of my attitude’ but then contradicted herself to say but you are a good care assistant. I knew straight away it was because she had found out I was pregnant and did not want to pay maternity leave. It has left me penniless and worried about losing my home. I am constantly stressed because of this and I know it’s not healthy for the baby, I just don’t know what to do.
