Birth control
I went to my postpartum appointment today and they brought up birth control, I’ve never been on any kind of birth control before so what are some things I should know before getting on. I’m breastfeeding and also pumping so I don’t want my supply to drop if possible.

I’d try to go with a birth control without estrogen in it. Estrogen can drop your milk supply. I opted to go with a mirena IUD that has progesterone, and my milk supply hasn’t dropped at all.
I went with the Mirena IUD , it was implanted during c section & so far so good! :) i’ve noticed i’m extremely hungry though now & super sleepy idk if it’s from the c section, breastfeeding, or the IUD 💀 but that’s all
There’s also the mini pill, my OB suggested it and I didn’t notice a drop in supply
I took the mini pill and was able to breastfeed for 3 years

Marriage dissolving?!
So for the first time after ages went on my husbands phone whilst he was sleeping to find out he messaged a girl “hey baby” and she sent a pic and he said “sexy” and he messaged her “hey baby” again! This is when I was one month pregnant!!! I’ve been the best wife to my husband to find this. After looking at his phone again I find him talking to a prostitue, where she asks what is he looking for and he said sex and ask how much she charges! Whilst me and him was engaged. He claims it was for his friend who wanted clients as part of a business but I don’t believe him. I have a 3 month old and I just don’t know what to do because we were such a power couple and loved each other so much but I just find all this out and it’s torn my heart and shattered me. Advice please!!!

Child benefit over 60k
Can anyone explain what you do when your partner earns over 60k (I claim CB and earn under 60k) . I thought the cap changed to 80 so we've been claiming CB for 2 years without making any pay backs 😐

WFH jobs
Are there any flexible work-from-home jobs available for college students (online) with a six-month-old baby? Even a small amount of extra cash would be great.

KIT DAYS/return to work
Hi mamas, I just need a bit of advice! 🤍
My last maternity pay is this month, and my maternity leave ends at the end of February. I’m planning to use my annual leave afterwards, so I’ll probably be returning to work around April.
How did you get in touch with your manager to discuss your KIT days and flexible working request before going back?
I’ve not heard from my manager in a while, but I do have his number and want to reach out to arrange my KIT days, discuss flexible working, and ask about adding my annual leave onto the end of my maternity leave.
As my last pay is this month, I’m thinking of starting my KIT days in December. How does the pay work? Do you get paid in the same month you do the KIT days, or does it depend on the employer?
Also, if anyone has any advice on what to say when I message my manager, I’d really appreciate it. I think I’m probably overthinking it Thank you! ❤️
