I am newly pregnant with number 3 and also self employed, running a business with a friend. Thankfully it's in a semi-understanding business (we run a toddler group) and of course ny business partner has a great understanding of being pregnant.
But it will be a bit different to being employed as although I can take maternity leave I won't get paid and we need to find someone to help out too. Providing I feel up to it I am more than happy to return asap, it is only 2 days a week and a 'lifestyle' business, but realise that it will all be a juggle as it usually is.
So just wondered if there were any stories/tips on this situation. How long did people take off, what happened to your business in the meanwhile and did it set you back?
