Im giving you advice , not because you are Bulgarians but because you are a living person.

To the working folk, A kela card is only good if you get sick and need some medical assistance.
You need to find a job.If you are here long enough and contribute to the system the minimum amount then they give you a kela card, probably a restricted Kela card like mine is but at least the social system recognized you as someone who they respect as living.

Finland is a poor choice of country to immigrate to if you don't speak Finnish and have no job lined up before you arrive. Unlike other countries, Finland until very recently was rather homogeneous and many, if not most Finnish companies are not open to employing foreigners, especially those who aren't fluent in Finnish. In short, not being Finnish and not speaking Finnish puts you at a huge disadvantage.

Why not just move to the UK like all the other Eastern Europeans? You'll have no problem finding work in the UK. In fact, not being a Brit probably puts you at an advantage as employers will assume you're hard working and unargumentative, whereas Brits are assumed to be lazy, argumentative and arrogant by British employers.

Well, hiring people who imagine they are getting a "good deal" while totally oblivious of the rules, regulations and rights of course is very lucrative to the employer. Then again, if you have someone breeding another chav generation in a family been on benefits since the last working member was deported to Australia in the 1800's vs. someone doing two jobs to put their kid into a catholic public school, you might have a point in the perception of being hardworking...

deported to Australia in the 1800's
At the time possibly the best career move a Brit could make.

That's understandable. Is it easy to talk to your father on how things go here? It's so hard to find a job if you do not speak Finnish.
When you first come, you might want to get a hygieniaosaamiskortti to be allowed to work around food in cafes, restaurants or hotels. Try applying at temporary job agencies. Sometimes the company which contracts you on a temporary basis may want to hire you, such as a hotel for cleaning or food preparation. What the others say is true, your pregnancy will stop people from hiring you. The company will say it's for another reason but yeah. If worse comes to worse, perhaps you can wait after your baby is born? When you are young a year seems like forever but it will pass by quickly enough.
It's not easy but it's not impossible either. Maybe settle down with baby during the winter and come search for jobs in the spring time. Good luck! :)
