Work from home

How do you manage working from home and the baby. I go back to work in 2 weeks and am getting nervous how to balance a baby and my job. Any tips or tricks are appreciated

Employer not responding to flexible working request

I had a call with my manager in early August and I told her my plans for reducing to 3 days a week and not returning until April 2027 (Mat leave ends on 1st Dec 2026). She agreed and said was fine with her but I need to put in writing and email.

I sent the email the next day and I’ve had zero response for the formal flexible working request. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I have since emailed twice requesting to do some KIT days as I now only have 2 months to do them and could do with the money. However again these have had zero response.

I’m not sure what to do next if they keep ignoring emails.

Lost my job

I was a working corporate girlie until yesterday when I randomly got fired. I'm 6 months away from being due. I'm trying to be positive about it but honestly i'm actually really devastated :"(

Pregnancy vitamins

Is everyone continuing to take vitamins beyond 12 weeks? When I asked my midwife at 10 weeks, she said it’s not necessary as folic acid is only needed for development which happens in the first trimester

Maternity Leave

Hey Mamas. Im 35+4 and I'm exhausted. My job is not that physically demanding but the commute, the walks etc sometimes are too much. I cant really sleep well lately and i just feel over the edge. I am due on the 30th October but officially starting my maternity leave from the 16th. Although I feel like I can't get to work anymore. My question is whether I change my maternity leave for next week or I wait for the 16th. It feels so far away and feel like I won't be doing much home, but I would love to rest more.

Just feeling sorry for myself without mum around!

My parents live far away and I’m starting to really struggle now my baby is moving more and napping less. I just wish my mum lived nearby rather than seeing her every 2/3 months - it sucks.

I just hate not having people around I can just ask if they can sit with my baby whilst I do chores etc…

More of a moan but does anyone have any advice..
