Just never remove yourself from employment when you're expecting a kid, because you won't be saving any money if you have no job.
Sorry for the confusion. I never meant to imply I would resign before getting another job. Thats insane (yet people still do it). My concerns are switching jobs, which is a far less stable position to be in because you are not established and the company does not depend on you yet.

Overall, good advice, but I'll bow out of the "i'll be forced to leave" bit. I tried that years ago with another company... not good.
