Do you have any hidden talents or hobbies like painting, sewing, sculpting etc? You can make crafts and sell them on eBay or you can give lessons.
GMA also airs advice for how to work from home and making extra income. Here's some of their ideas.

Since you have a baby coming, you might want to consider babysitting the neighbor's kids.

you didn't list your skills, so its a bit difficult to offer you tailored suggestions.
do you have any talents?
-if you played musical instruments offer lessons. contact schools and post an ad
-have a day care center in your house.
can you refinance the mortgage? pull money from your husband's 401K?
REDUCE existing costs:
-cancel cable TV. save $50 a month or more.
- if you have a cell phone & land line, get rid of one. Save $40 a month.
- install energy efficient bulbs. Save few $$ a month.
- reduce the heat and use the A/C less. Save $25-hundreds a month.
- use cloth diapers instead of the convenient paper ones. both are equally sanitary, but paper costs a bundle. Save hundreds!
- Breast feed the baby instead of buying formula. A child can live off mothers milk for many months.
- If you don't work, you won't require a "costume" for the office. So, stop buying clothes for yourself. You can live with 2-3 outfits I am sure.
SELL non-used/luxe items...
-do you have a sports car? if so, sell it. its useless with a baby in tow. to carry baby, its mandatory you have a car with a back seat.
STOP habits..
- quit getting nails done & hair colored at salons. do it at home. save a bundle. i know many mothers who don't put on nail polish for fear it will rub or chip off and baby will ingest it.
- stop smoking. if your husband smokes, it can cost $50 or more a month.

Pregnant porn will make you a nice pile of money but its probably not an option. Maybe some home sales thing like Avon, Longaberger, Tastfully Simple etc.
