Help Please

I am a married woman under 30 who is also in full time student doing my last year in university. My husband is on £30,000 p.a and we have a big mortgage of £800 per month.

Due to my uni workload I had to quit my job. However, recently I have found out that I am just over6 weeks pregnant. I have tried to find a pert-time job since but it seems impossible. By the time my uni finishes in May, I wont be receiving my student loan any more and the fact that I am pregnant will put the employers off. I was wondering if I can claim any help from government and if there is any law to protect from discrimination by employers?
please do help me if you can as we are struggling financially a lot which has stopped us to enjoy the pregnancy. I was diagnosed infertile years ago and I never thought I will this chance to conceive.
