Just found out I am pregnant - being made redundant at the end of the month

Hoping someone can help!

I found out I was pregnant on Monday with my second child.

On Friday I had my consultation meeting at work which officially put me at risk of redundancy (likely end date Jul 31).

I only returned from maternity leave with my first on 19th March 2012 so will have worked 19 weeks since my return, up to my last day.

I am panicking a bit that I will receive nothing (neither SMP or Maternity Allowance) - can anyone advise?

I will be temping up until the baby comes to bring in money, and save my redundancy pay to help ease the burden.

Thanks in advance.
