Any tips for begonias?

I've kept houseplants for years in numerous varieties with only two giving me recurring problems.

String of pearls and begonias.

I had three beautiful begonias for about two years but their health was very up and down and I fought to find consistency. I've easily watched over a dozen care videos and feel like I've done everything I've come across, but ultimately I always end up losing them. I picked up this guy today and really don't want to repeat the failure process, so any and all tips are welcome.

Is this sun damage?

I have this Cardinal Queen that's leaves have always been perfect. A month or two ago I put her closer to the window then where she previously sat, and today when I was doing some deeper care I noticed her leaves. I'm pretty sure it's sun damage, but I'd love confirmation for peace of mind.

I've checked for pests, but haven't found anything.

Pregnant and might lose insurance for 90 days

I'm currently 21 weeks pregnant after struggling with fertility issues for nine years.

My husband is a factory worker and his place of employment has been struggling to get orders lately and have had several week long shut downs as a result. They're always random and so they're hard to plan around and always throw us into a bit of a financial funk. It pays well, but the unpredictable nature of its current state can make it stressful.

He recently got a job offer from a place he used to work at years ago. It pays about the same and has a lot more reliable orders coming in. It also has great insurance, better than what we currently have, but the hang up is it doesn't kick in for 90 days.

He makes too much for me to qualify for Medicaid, and all other options I've found are way out of our price range or have insane deductibles. We've thought of ways to make it work, but the major hang up is that I'm considered a high risk pregnancy, and have a high chance of going early. Like within the window we won't be covered.

I'm looking for any and all suggestions for something that could help. I don't want to be the reason he can't take this job.
