NO! LOL no way I am on SSI social security and I am pregnant also. It does not matter this is your income for the rest of your life!!!!
This is your income for being disabled.

No, it shouldn’t decrease or cut off your benefits.

Your SS benefit will rise after the child is born. You’ll continue to collect the increased benefit until the child turns 17 unless he or she is still in high school, in which case they will be cut off at age 18 or upon graduation whichever occurs first.
