7 weeks preg... 1st baby 6 months... Mat leave advice needed

[Frankie72]

Hi,
I'm not sure this is the right place but I will give it a go...

My son is just over 6 months old and I've found out I'm preg again! We let fate decide if and when we would get preg again (3 years of trying for first ended in a mc but second time had a happy ending!) obviously I know we are in the early stages but I need to look ahead..

I'm currently on mat leave... Planned to go back end of Feb but if I do I think that will mess with my mat pay for the second baby? I'm due end of May (fingers crossed, touch wood) and a teacher. Also telling work?? Help!anyone any experience??

Your mat pay will be based on the 8 weeks pay prior to the 25th week of pregnancy so the amount will differ depending on whether you are on maternity pay or are back at work. When were you planning on going back and what stage of pregnancy will you be at?
