I did it! I officially made it to my last day of work and am on maternity leave!! I’m 36 + 2 weeks pregnant with our miracle baby and cannot wait to work on getting things done around our house, postpartum freezer meals made, and actually have a little time to relax. One of the things that I hadn’t even thought ab...

I found out recently that my job is closing down. Wanted to see if any of you lady’s know any SAHJ that aren’t scams? I’m due in the beginning of Sept and was hoping to still be able to pay my bills!!! HELP THANK YOU!! Don’t want to stress myself out anymore!

Do I contact my Family doctor or the OBGYN place that I went to with my first? I’m so lost at this whole second mother thing.

I had my April at Etobicoke General Hospital, I’m uninsured and I picked the general room (6 people )to stay in as they had told me it cost about 3000 but I got my bill now and I got 6080 dollars ( the price of a private room) please how do I go about it

Would you mind sharing what you take home a month ? Trying to see what I’ll be left with after nursery fees. Thank you

Not much point to this post, other than relief that I’ve FINALLY finished work ready for Mat leave. I have 2 weeks of annual leave before my mat leave kicks in, but I’m 35+2 today and I’m so glad I’m finally done 🥲 for everyone who still has a bit of time to go, YOU CAN DO IT!! 💪🏻 💛

Hi Ladies, I am sadly seriously considering leaving my partner, for many reasons. Now the situation is I am worried about how I would be able to afford my bills if he moves out. For context, I own my home solely and I earn roughly about £2200 after tax including child benefit. My bills (excluding any credit card p...

Will I still be able to apply for smp as my babies going to be 2 month old just been told I’m not entitled to maternity pay? Wasn’t told this before can I still apply

I’m currently 9 months postpartum, I’m a sahm (1 boy). I’ve been trying to work on my small business for a couple months now and find it very challenging, hoping to find other moms in a similar situation so we can cry together 😂 lol, i mean encourage each other. I’m an immigrant in Texas (been in the US since 2017)

What are some ways to make money now, like today? And not bs money like the little internet surveys and stuff. I need a couple hundred dollars to pay the rest of my rent but we’re absolutely broke🫠 does anyone have any ideas ?

So this isn’t baby related, but I’m basically in a really bad financial situation where I’m a single mum and I’ve got no income apart from my benefits. I’m seriously considering starting only fans because you can make some good money and it would be something to do while my baby is asleep is it bad for me to want to...

Hi! So long story short, my mom scammed me a long time ago and I owe the CRA money. Can I still get maternity leave? 😔

Can anyone who is working from help help me get a job working from home? I need to get out of the job I'm at and I want more time at my household stuff and with my family.

Anyone know of any good paying remote jobs?

Went to triage recently for reduced movements and when I told the lady on the phone that I was at at the time and didn’t have my maternity notes with me she said I should have them with me just in case something happens when I’m out. Are you guys carrying your notes whenever you leave the house?

We’re going on holiday to Sweden soon, will be 27 weeks when we fly and 28 when we return. Tried contacting British Airways today to find out if I need a fit to fly certificate, on the website it says you can’t fly after 36 weeks for single pregnancy. Has anyone flown with them/or know?

My boy will be starting preschool in September and I was wondering if it was actually legal to ask if you can take unpaid leave during the breaks?

My statutory maternity has now stopped as it’s been 9 months. I’m still taking another 3 months unpaid but my question is can I now use annual leave so I get paid or do I need to wait until my maternity leave is over?
