Struggling with living costs and debt

Posts: 5 Forumite
Hi there, I'm very new here and struggling with living costs and debt.
Basically me and my partner are out of work and looking for jobs, we have a 2 year old daughter and another on the way. We currently claim joint jsa. In total our income including other child tax credit and child benefit is around £720 a month and our living costs alone add up to around £900 and then ontop of that we have got debt of around £13,500 chasing us. I;m just struggling to get by and am currently 7 months pregnant and the stress is having a serious impact on the baby.
Really dont know which way to go.
Ant help would be greatly appreciated xx
