Work & Motherhood

My maternity allowance letter end 24th March 2024. When do I return to work, without affecting payments?? Do I wait for the last payment then return?

Does anyone have any knowledge of this? I have tried phone DWP but just get left on hold for up to 45 mins and cut off.

I am also not returning to my old job. They have blocked me of all forms of contact whilst on maternity after I said I didn’t wish to do any keeping in touch days. They merged with another company, changed my manager and hours without telling me but I had access to my rota as they would only put blocks of 3 months down for maternity and I saw the changes made. I cannot even hand in my notice now as phone calls and emails have been blocked, even if they email me first I am blocked as not on the internal listings.

Picture below- I was responding with availability for them to phone me to discuss returning to work

Any help or tech savvy people thank you

Hi everyone my LB is due his jabs in a few days. I was told about giving him calpol. How long am I suppose to give it him for and when please🩵

Today is the 5th day I am late on my period. This is rather late for me. Done multiple tests. Negative. I tested positive 2 days late with my daughter so finding it strange if I was pregnant why it’s not showing this time. I don’t think I am pregnant but wondering what else it could be? Keep getting sharp pains in left side just below rib Thanks

My son will only be little once, but I would also like to provide him the best future I can. Is stopping maternity leave early to further my career worth it?

I’m a first time mom to a sixth month old and can say it’s been overwhelming having to work and take care of her at the same time (my schedules are sometimes inconvenient for me and I feel like I never have time for myself anymore) I’ve been so exhausted I feel like a machine sometimes and I’m overwhelmed lately , do you ladies have any advice on how you combat with this or even some encouraging words♥️
