Wescot want £2100 :-(

I have an overdraft maxed out with natwest (its a dead account) that i swear I've had for 10 years now. They maxed my limit to £1700 when i was young and naive and all I've done since is pay back £25 a month for all these years, it covered the interest and that was it. Anyway to cut a long story short, the account eventually gained some cash to withdraw (still in overdraft though) of about £300, i needed the money so i withdrew it stupidly. Natwest said that it took me back over my limit of £1700 and charged interest and charges and now its at £2100 somehow :-( I argued with them that it was ridiculous, i was about to give birth to my son so was about to lose my full wage for stat mat pay, but they weren't very helpful and said they would freeze the problem for 28 days for me to come up with the goods.

Now Wescot have sent me a letter demanding i pay in full or make payments, I'm on mat pay at the moment so i really have no spare cash to make a payment that would clear this amount in less than a million years!!

What do i do I'm so worried :-(
