For the working mums, does your company offer any enhanced maternity pay?
My first baby in 2024, I received the first six weeks per usual (90% of my usual salary), and the following 33 weeks were enhanced by my work who added £1,500 per month on top of the statutory amount.
Just curious to know what other workplaces offer as I don't have many working mum friends to gauge off of in the UK. I am due for a pay rise now, but considering requesting an increase in the enhanced mat pay in lieu of a pay rise.
Would love to have some insight what other workplaces offer!

I get 8 weeks full 16 weeks half pay then smp for remaining. So that works out less than what you get now. I work in HR and would say that it's unlikely they'll enhance mat pay for one individual as it's procedure that should be applied consistently for equity

Looking for a mom friend who’s a little unconventional like me! 🖤💀 I’m a laid-back, horror movie-loving, true crime-obsessed mama who runs on coffee, dark humor, and good conversation. ☕🔪👻
I’d love to find a genuine friendship with someone who gets it, loves to laugh, and can talk about anything without judgment. Bonus points if you love all things spooky year-round! 🥀🖤

I’m 32 and I feel like I’m giving up on trying to make friends because every time I try it’s like I don’t get met with the same energy🫠 how is everyone making friends?? I’ve tried on this app, I’ve tried in person, tik tok I feel like I’ve tried everywhere. I commented on this girls tik tok where she was local to me and she commented back and I was excited to possibly make a friend and go back to it and she blocked me.
