Bupa health insurance for baby

Has anybody got a bupa health insurance for their baby? Do you have a good experience with claiming? I am thinking of getting the diagnosis and treatment cover. I have health insurance through my work but I also want to get a personal health insurance for my baby in case I lose my job

We have family Bupa health insurance and so far I haven't had to use it but I'm glad I have it, my mum has it and has nothing but good things to say about them. Appointments on time, the actually listen to your concerns and take them seriously. My mum had a massive health scare a couple of years ago and they were amazing

We do, but we had a hard time claiming. You have to get them registered as soon as born on your family plan.

We had to go into hospital when he was 3 days old for phototherapy due to severe jaundice (he had to stay 2 nights) and they wouldn’t let us claim as he was “born with it” and we registered him with BUPA on day 3. Like how are you meant to know they have zero issues and register them within minutes of birth in case something develops 🤦🏼‍♀️

It’s decent though, he needed tongue tie surgery and the nhs wait time was 7 weeks so we did it private and claimed what we could back.

Maternity allowance

Hi guys! So I am currently on maternity leave with my boy and pregnant again, my maternity leave is almost over (I took the full 52 weeks off) so I am due back work soon! I have just had an email saying I’m not eligible for statuary maternity pay again and they are sending me a form to apply for maternity allowance! I would only be back at work for approx 6-8 weeks before going on maternity again! So I thought I would use my holidays instead of actually going back but the manager has actually refused them. What I’m wondering is, if I was to hand in my notice, would I still technically be eligible for maternity allowance and get the full amount or would it be the £27 a week? Because if I did do that, then they would obviously still have to pay me my holidays that I’m entitled to?

Change of religion when married.. advice please!

Hi all, my husband has very recently and out of the blue turned to Christianity (we were atheist). I’ve been super supportive, we’re speaking a lot about it, I’m reading the bible to understand. To be clear I don’t have an issue with it at all (I went to a Christian school, just wouldn’t say I’ve found Jesus myself 🤷🏼‍♀️).
I just wondered if anyone has been in a similar situation? What if I can’t come to the same conclusion and we end up not being of the same religion?

Really hoping someone’s gone through similar and may give me an idea of how it turned out please 🙏

Extending maternity leave beyond a year

I’m due to go back to work in June and my baby to nursery after a year off (I work in the nursery she’ll be attending).I can’t claim funding for her until September so considering now staying off with her until then.

Does anyone know how this works? Am I entitled to just tell them I’m doing this or is it something that can be refused now my maternity leave and 52 weeks leave entitlement is up?

Meal Service

Hey mamas! Struggling over here to find the time to do it all, even with partner support. Has anyone done a meal delivery service? I've only heard of Hello Fresh but I know there are others. Thoughts? Experiences? Worth the price? Looking for any way to make our lives easier!
