Stressing about my career with a baby on the way!

I just graduated a film production degree this year (at age 24) and was hoping to have a good graduate job by now (not totally fussed as to what). All my life I've worked in retail and hospitality for a low wage and I hate it! Currently work in an awful café that don't give breaks on 10 hour days, has no space and involves a lot of bending down and carrying things, so naturally I'm desperate for another job being 12 weeks pregnant. I'm just stressing out because I don't have a career yet and might be taking a lower paying job in order to ensure my own safety in the workplace, meaning I will only have like £200 left after my expenses! I'm just really scared and don't know what to do!
Help please!

    Edit- I have started (this year) doing freelance wedding videography as a side gig but have yet to start earning money from it to call it an income!

    Have you thought on looking for remote jobs? Ever since the pandemic started, remote working has increased and is now generally accepted. Even if it's for a little while only, maybe it would be a good idea to look for a remote position, even if it pays the same as your cafe work, but at least you would be comfortably at home and who knows, maybe it starts a path to your career.
