CC-You are doing a wonderful job doing this all on your own
I don't know how you would make money if you left- just wanted to ask if you have spoken to centrelink to see what benefits you may qualify for now and after bubs is born.
When is bubs due? Hopefully you will get the 18 weeks maternity leave pay

You poor thing! I am exactly the same place (also 34 weeks and suffering the heat at work). My work is great but the building sucks, it is really hot and stuffy! I am going to work to 38 or 39 weeks because of finances but at least I have mat. leave so not so bad.
It must be against OH&S for them to expect you to work in those conditions, are you allowed to bring in a portable fan, or is there an OHS person you can talk to?
I have a little desk fan and drink lots of water which is helping... a little. It must be very hard for you in those circumstances, I wish you all the best with it!
Also have you spoken to centrelink about maybe a hardship payment or getting some maintenance money from your husband? Not sure what the rules would be in that circumstance but surely he has some legal responsibility to support you
