In this economy, it is very difficult to get assistance now. I would contact the local department of human services to see what the requirements are in your local area.
Next, I would see if your area has an outreach center or a Women's, Infants, and Children's (WIC) center. You might be able to get some assistance (while minute) there.
I would also check at some of the local charities such as Catholic Charities and Salvation Army. They might be help. Also, some towns have a once a year assistance on electrical bills.
On a side note, I would contact your creditors and tell them you are going on maternity leave due to a c-section. Credit card companies (if you have elected the insurance) might allow you to skip a payment or two with a doctors note. Also if you tell your creditors in advance, you appear honest and you wont have the bill collectors hounding you. Some companies (electric and water) might be able to set up a payment program.
Good luck, again it is almost a sin to be poor in this economy - I wish you the best.

you probably will have to apply for public assistance. If you are currently on medicaid you can ask your case worker. If not call the local medicaid or public assistance office and ask them where to start. Also, call your local WIC office and get started on that ( if you haven't already). You can get Wic checks even while pregnant. It really helped me when my son was on formula. It costs 13.00 to 14.00 a can a they go thru about a can every 24 hours. I could have never afforded it.

What about short term disability? It covered all my time off when I was on maternity leave. It was only 60% of my pay but it was worth it!

try both wic and welfare (or family independence agency), you may also get help from your local church or soup kitchen
there are not many other options, you will not be eligible for unemployment or disability benefits
