Hey girls! Is anyone self employed and can tell me what/if we’re entitled to anything and how much you got? Xx

If I were to hand my notice in before my 9 months of maternity leave was up (paid) would I still be entitled to the last bit of maternity pay? Context I have 9 months paid maternity and 3 months unpaid.

Hey ladies! Does anyone know what jobs you can do but stay at home with your little one?

Would you happily go back to the office full time if you had to? Or would you prefer to stay in a role that offers wfh?

Happy Saturday everyone. I just wanted to ask a few questions 1. What maternity packages do people get offered from their employers? 2. How much do people typically look to save for their maternity leave? 3. How long do most people plan to take off work? Thanks so much!

When I was on maternity leave the first month where it’s 90% I got just over a grand but someone I work with (we do the exact same job) is getting £1500 for the first month. That’s so unfair how we literally do the same job, she doesn’t have any other roles just the same as me yet get more in her first month

Hey mamas ! I’m looking for a remote job! I’ve applied to so many on indeed and LinkedIn and haven’t got any answers . I’m a single ebf mama who has had to quit her job because they would never accept my maternity leave at the time and now it’s time for me to start working but unable to find something.

If i was working full-time before maternity leave and want to return back to work full time. Can schools reject this?

I am 8 months pregnant and no doctors will take me as a new patient because I’m too far along. It’s not my fault my partner beat me and i had to leave the state for safety and start somewhere new so late. I need serious help and every place i look is a dead end. Does anyone know ANYONE that will take a new patient a...

Hi everyone, I’m interested to know what sort of maternity packages everyone gets. SMP in the Uk is horrendous. I don’t understand how they expect people to survive on this? I’m quite fortunate whereby I have a fairly good salary ( 60k base + bonus varies between 10-20k per year) husband is on 70k. Our mortgage al...

I have basically been told by my work I need to go back full time or quit as they are unable to offer me part time hours to work around childcare(annoying but apparently completely legal) does anyone know of any work from home admin jobs or does anyone have a business they need help with admin wise… 2 days a week id...

Hi all, I have made the decision to be a stay at home mum for atleast another year, I don’t feel with the cost of nursery me working makes any kind of difference sadly. So I’m fortunate to be supported to stay home as it just makes sense. Also I feel 1 is very young to hand her over I want her to atleast be able t...

Hi all! Just wondering if anyone else has submitted a flexible working request prior to maternity leave? I’m trying to get mine done so I can secure nursery days and not worry when I’m coming back. I work full time (37 hours) and asked to drop 1 full day, but the request was declined. I have a follow up meeting to d...

In returning to FT work in about 4 weeks after a year off. I can’t shake the guilt. I wouldn’t mind but this is the second time I’ve done it 😅 just feel so bad this time round. I’ve been breastfeeding so not sure if that’s contributing. Any advice or anyone felt the same 🥹

And I was getting SMP and universal credit so please if you’re unsure if you can get it just try it does seem to be for people that’s already claiming some sort of benefit which is crazy as our income was touching £3000 a month when i claimed for it and got it x

I’m a bit confused if 30 hours a week for 2/3yrs is free funded when you both work why are people being charged and if you are how much do they charge you ? Ftm the process is confusing me

Please give me feed back on what you think and what needs working on as I’m desperate to start a business

Does anyone have any remote...
