FT Working Single Moms-to-be

I work FT and support myself. The father is my boyfriend and we are not currently living together. He will help as much as possible, but there's no way I can quit working after having a baby. I don't have any close friends who live near me, and I have some family an hour away, but nobody who will be able to come help me a lot once I give birth.
Money is a concern, of course, but I'm more concerned with maximizing my time off from work (hopefully 6 months) with the new baby while still getting paid and being able to pay my mortgage.
I think it may be too early to be thinking about these things, but I thought I'd create this discussion for other single moms-to-be so we can talk about the challenges we are going to have to face later and how we're going to deal with them.
Maybe ladies who have been in this situation in the past can post some advice, too.
Thanks!
