Last month I got really sick and ended up hospitalized for 8 days. I still have not recieived clearance to go back to work and the dr said I may be out for months. My rent is super expensive and I am looking to break my lease simply because I cannot afford it on disability. I also recently found out I was pregnant with twins and have a high risk pregnancy. This place is a 700 square ft 1 bedroom and I can't imagine living here with 2 babies. We need to find something that cost less in a different neighborhood that my husband can afford on is income alone. Do I have any rights?

No not affording it isn't grounds to break a lease.
I you have been there a few months now and not expecting the twins real soon you may finish your lease before they are born or when they are newborn.
New babies don't take much space and two can fit in one crib. 700 sq ft isn't really tiny just don't buy stuff until you move.
Ask your landlord if they would be agreeable to you finding replacement tenants you never know they might not want babies there and might feel sorry for you.

You do not have a "legal" reason to break your lease but now would be a good time to approach your landlord and see if he is willing to work something out. If he knows you are not going to be able to pay the rent he may be willing to let you out of your lease early. Maybe you have an early termination clause in your lease?
