I'm pregnant at the moment (only 10 weeks) and already worried about maternity leave or more to the point after maternity leave. In New Year our jobs are being changed. So we will have a set number of hours but could be any days and any hours (between 5am and 7pm). The rotas will change weekly. I can't go back, which I was planning to do. If I go back and am still doing 28 hours a week I will have to pay 5 full days of childcare which we can't afford.
My husband earns enough for us to live on but it's going to be tight (family of five on one income)and to make matters worse our landlord is selling our house next year. I feel like the worst mum in the world. Letting our two children and new,baby down. No job, no house.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Is it easy (possible) to get a new job on maternity leave? Trying not to stress,but it's hard.
