I can't stop crying

I have an awesome job! I love going to work everyday. It's a warehouse shipping department. You start out as a temp worker and if they love you they hire you, and they hired me on in July, couldn't of been more happy, they hired me on even knowing that I was pregnant. Well just now I found out that I won't be getting paid for maternity leave. I have bills, I cant do that. What do I do I'm so upset. I had to take the day off because I can't stop crying. I can take a leave I just won't get paid for it.

I work in a restaurant and I do not get paid maternity leave either, I've just been saving everything I can to try and have enough for bills and the baby when it's born.
If not the state should be able to help you go see what options they offer
