We (as Self Employed) get Maternity Allowance (different to Maternity Pay). It's not great but better than nothing. I had that for my 12 weeks off work but couldn't wait to get back to full pay again!

well im not earning so much at the moment so would work out not too bad but not trying for baby yet! thanks for replying!
