I know I’m only 12 weeks right now and I have a very long time until I give birth but if I don’t start working on my labor and delivery plan I probably will never do it 🤣What is everything I need to include on it. This is my first baby and I don’t want to miss anything Yes I do know that things can change from now until I give birth but I can always edit it later

I’ve been seeing on tik tok people sending their placenta for someone to turn it into a keepsake I’m only 12 weeks pregnant so I have awhile before this happens but does anyone have recommendations for who does the best keepsakes I don’t even know yet if my hospital will let me have it but I just want to have option available if they do I’m just scared of getting scammed

I want to do the first option with my partner so that it's as fair and equal as possible but we're currently doing the second option where he covers the main bills and big food shops, and I just live off my own part-time earnings.

Hi moms 💛On Monday I’ll be going back to work full-time (7–3) after being a stay-at-home mom with my daughter for the last 17 months. I’m feeling really emotional about it and honestly a little scared. I’m so grateful her dad will be with her, but I’m worried about missing out on her growing up and all the little moments. I know so many moms have gone through this, and I’d really love any advice, encouragement, or reassurance from anyone who’s been in a similar season. How did the transition go for you? Did it get easier? How did you handle the guilt and the fear of missing out on time with your little one?Thank you so much 🤍
How does anyone become a SAHM with this rising cost on the island i been having serious mom guilt as he gets old I feel like i miss every me and my baby dad work full time at the same place 😕 😢
Hey ladies 💕I’m a stay-at-home mum and lately I’ve been feeling the pressure of the cost of living. My partner has been working so hard to support our family, and I hate seeing how exhausted he is.To try and help out financially, I’ve recently started making candles from home. It’s completely outside my comfort zone, but I’m hoping it gives me a way to contribute while still being home with my little one.I’d love to hear from other mums who have started a small business, side hustle, or found ways to earn an income while raising their kids. How did you get started, and what helped you keep going when things felt overwhelming?Always looking to connect with other mums who get it 💛

I was hoping it would be paid sooner but here I am in my 30s still with the student loan. My unpaid part of mat leave will be starting in February, then I get bonus in April and then back to work in September. I will likely zero my student loan in April with the bonus. If I set up direct debit now, would they still take the money during my unpaid months (February-March)? I know should not be repaying when no income but if it’s DD then I don’t know if they know to stop the payments.
Hey everyone, I'm currently 31 weeks today and after hounding my HR/Payroll dept they finally got back to me and because I moved NHS trusts during early pregnancy I'm not eligible for SMP.They said they'll need to give me a SMP1 to apply for maternity allowance.. has this happened to anyone else?To make things worse the lady is on AL for two weeks now and no one can send me the form so I can get the ball moving... as I hear it's quite a lengthy process????Is anyone else going through similar? Xx
