any suggestions?

No judgements please, but today I am 15+1 and for the past few days I have been having some much anxiety about little things I don't think I should be. I have a job interview Tuesday, and I currently work on the weekends somewhere else. I am worried that working two jobs will not be healthy for the baby, but I need to do it to be able to move into a two bedroom apartment. My husband has also been looking for a second job but I feel like he is being too picky and that we won't be able to be accepted for the apartment, or we won't have all the things we need for baby. I also recently found out that the doc has found a lump on my mom's breast, and I'm worried about that too. I am fighting constantly with the car dealership because they refuse to fix my car which is still under warranty. I called to complain yesterday and the woman hung up on me. I just feel so overwhelmed all of a sudden. Sorry for the long post but does anyone know anything I can do to worry less? Opinions or suggestions would be wonderful and much appreciated.

It is normal to feel completely overwhelmed. I know I was. I walked alot to clear my head. I found the fresh air really helped.
I agree with mamamaggs about you working 2 jobs. It will be very tiring, especially the further along you get. You do what you have to for the baby and you. If you decide 2 jobs is what you need, relax and put your feet up when you get home.
I'm sorry to hear about ur Mom. The most important thing you can do is try and stay positive. Be there for each other. Talking with  friends is crucial, they are ur support system as well as family.
The car. If you can't get anywhere with the person on the phone (get their name) and call back. Everyone has a supervisor or manager above them. If that doesn't get you anywhere write to the main office. If you have to post something to there FB page, if they have one. No dealership wants bad press!!
I hope you feel better and I'll keep my fingers crossed and pray for ur Mom. Good luck Hun.

This will be the 3rd time im trying to reply. Lol. This is annoying.  

What I said the last 3 times that never went through was it's totally ok to feel what your feeling. We get overwhelmed with you know growing a baby inside of us and then dealing with life in general.  It takes a toll and c a n stress us big time. Learning How To Manage It So It Doesn't Affect YOU OR The Baby Is key. Don't mind my phone and the weird things it does with my lettering.  
Try massages or meditatio. Talking it out with friends or your hubby or close trust worthy family members who are there to listen and support you and your choices. As far as you worki ng 2 jobs? I know that will be tiring and you need lots of rest since your pregnant.  Might be hard doing that. Let the hubby work 2 jobs if need be. But you do what you gotta do and so does he. You'll name a lot of choices and there will always be people who will never agree with you but that's a part of being a parent. Everyone has opinions. Doesn't mean you have to change yours.
I'm sorry to hear about your mom. It's not easy when your parents get sick or have a hard time.  Some things are out of our control but we do what we can.

It's totally normal to feel this way though. About what you have on your plate.  After all your expecting a baby! I'm 18 weeks and had all the same worries not too lo ng ago. A place to live, dealing with my first child's custody arrangements, boyfriend also wasn't working at the time and my parents each with their own medical issues. Everything always has a way of working themselves out and u just gotta stay positive and have faith things will change for the better. Things have slowly worked their way out for me and I truly believe it will for you. Take things one step at a time. Change what you can and accept what you can't. Try to relax and talk it out or cry it out. Lol. Sometimes you need to with all the hormones and worries and thoughts that run through our pregnant bodies.
