Made redundant

So a month ago I received the news that only me will be made redundant and the process has been incredibly stressful but it is done, the company really rushed the whole thing before I was able to qualify for my statutory maternity pay, I’m now 26 weeks and concerned what I will be entitled to regarding maternity allowance, has anybody had a similar experience?

Any advice or help welcome, it’s a very sore subject for me still but want to know my options if there are any?

How can I make money?

I am a single mom with no child care. I need an income, but I can’t afford to have someone watch my child, and I have no friends/family to lean on. I was rejected from state programs. I am looking for advice of places I could work and take my kid with me, online jobs/companies people found success with, etc. I did look into door dashing, but my car is too old to be putting miles on it like that. Just wanted to see if anyone has anything? Going to start selling plasma tomorrow, but I just need some kind of income to get bills paid and get back on my feet.

FREE HEALTHCARE!! Calling all of those who receives universal healthcare. (So my U.K women). What are the pros and cons? If you dislike your plan or coverage can you pay into a different one for better healthcare?

Ex. I think I did see you share rooms after giving birth. Is there a way to pay to have your own room?

Beside myself

I had to rush my newborn to hospital for a stomach issue and my husband didnt leave work to meet me i had to call my in laws for help cause i dont have a car. But like he never leaves work for any emergencies and he could leave his boss is nice and stuff. Idk i just feel so alone.

How's your sex life ??

Sorry for the personal question but since getting pregnant I feel like it's just one thing after another. First it was the nausea and exhaustion and then I was coming out on the other side but I'm still so tired (have a 4 year old and work), I started to get uncomfortable with things like heartburn or constipation and always have a headache at the mo. Then the hip pain started which can really hurt when I'm adjusting myself on the bed etc and I just never feel in the mood and quite frankly just don't want to be touched. But it's been about 5 months since we had sex 😬. I have done bits but not a lot and my partner just keeps going on about it and I feel bad. He just wants to be close again. But it's also annoying me because if for example it's half 8 and I say I'm going to bed he will come up and assume because it's early it's an invite when I'm just going to bed because I'm tired. He isn't pushy at all but he just doesn't understand how this can feel and I think it makes him feel insecure, like it's because I don't love him anymore when it's literally just me.

Anyway, I just wondered if anyone else is feeling the same or if you think I am being selfish for putting my needs before his all the time? It's not like I'm compromising I'm just saying no all the time!
