My employer told me to get written statement from GP because she needs my mat B1 to get my maternity pay 🫠🫠🫠
What PIN number do they need?

The pin number is of an nhs staff member. It's a unique code you can use to search them on a register to see if they are legit, i.e you aren't forging the letter.

Will you not just need to attach a photo of your mat1b?

Normally they’ll just take a copy of your mat b1 form - the midwife should have given it to you after your 20 week scan

as it says it above my boss doesn’t want to give it to me 😫

it has to be original one and it says in the post that my boss doesn’t want to give it to me 😫

I’m confused, your boss won’t give you what?

my Mat B1

@Wiktoria but you could take a photo (always sensible before submitting something like this) or your boss could send you a photo if they already have it. So they can keep it

I called helpline, I’ve been told they only accept original copy

Just argue with your boss about it, that’s what I had to do. Was told they want original from the beginning and lately I’ve found out I can claim mat grant so emailed them to be told that they will keep it as they are paying out my SMP. Then emailed them again saying that I need the original to claim certain gov funds and was told they shouldn’t have the original in the first place and it’s been posted back to me today. Don’t let them walk over you and you’ll see it back trust me x

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

Advice

Ok so I had this friend and she would always talk about how it was so embarrassing to post your face on tinder or any kind of dating/friendship platform because it makes you look desperate. This has stuck with me soo much over the years, I always post anonymously. I really want a friend just 1 friend that I can go out n do stuff with and we just click but I refuse to post my face on any friendship platform, also because I might see someone I know and I literally HATE the idea of that. I feel so stuck, because I’m not the type of person to go out a lot I go to work and come home and when I do go out to parks and stuff there’s literally never any moms that try to strike up conversation. I really wanna get on bumble bff to try it out but it makes it to where you have to post your face. PLEASEEE any advice would help. I get bumble bff go through the people and then I delete it within like 5 minutes because I see someone I know.
