Hi! I'm 3 months pregnant with my first and I can't enjoy it because I'm so worried how I'm going to manage? Me and my partner have a mortgage which is 675 per month and I have various debts I pay each month so my outgoings are well over 600 a moth at the least!! I have found out I am only entitled to 6 weeks at 90% pay and then SMP about 138 pounds a week! That's about 550 per month!! My partner is self employed and he makes enough for us to get by with our combined salaries but we do struggle sometimes! I am so so worried!! What can I do? Will the government help I have paid tax my entire life!!
