Hello, I am 12 weeks pregnant and trying to save like mad for when the little one arrives. I am just a bit concerned about how we will manage financially when maternity pay is so poor. I have a good job and so does my husband but without 1 of the wages coming in each month it is going to be a struggle. I dont think we earn low enough to get any help in benefits at all but i have worked out we would only have a couple of hundred a mth spare for petrol, food necesseties etc. I am not fully aware of how you know about benefits etc but just wondered how any of you manage? xx
