Pregnant & benefit

Hiya

Just wondering if anyone had any advice. I have worked for 5 years some I left school and recently found out I was pregnant. I then unfortunately lost my job and moved in with my partner.
I cannot claim any benefits so are left with no income at all! They won't allow me income support as my partner works (hos wage just covers bills and rent) and won't allow me jsa as I'm not looking for work as I'm 6 months pregnant now! I've had no income at all for about 2 months and seriously feel like I cannot cope. I need to buy stuff for my first child and I feel like I'm letting them down. I'm not planning on been on benefits forever and will be getting a job as soon as possible after baby born but right now I just feel like we can't afford anything!
Please advise
