New mom

I don’t really have people to ask about these things. I’m 20 and this is my first child. I was wondering at what point do you get insurance set up for your child? Do I get it set up before so if they need to spend time in the NICU then it’s covered? How do I go about that?

Working mums… are you taking days off all the time because of sick baby?

I have been back to work for 3 months and almost every week my daughter is either sick or been sent back home from nursery. I have had tonsillitis myself for almost 3 weeks and I am struggling to cope. Me and my husband both work full time so it’s really tough. Anyone else in the same boat?

Hating being unemployed

This is a vent more than anything really. I didn't go back to work after maternity leave because I hated my workplace. Luckily we can live off my husbands salary but it's tight. I planned on finding another job after summer this year, which I did, but after doing an induction I decided it wasn't the right job for me...

Maternity allowance

And I still haven’t filled out my form to claim maternity allowance, purely because I’ve completely forgot about it and I’ve been so ill during pregnancy it’s been the last thing I’ve thought about🙃 just reading all the forms now, and it says if you claim later than 3 months…

15hours funding

If you get 15 hours free (for being on certain benefits) does your child do term time only or do you spread the hours? If you spread the hours over the year do you have to pay? Also can they do less than 15hours if you want them to?
