I’m on maternity leave, due to give birth in 6 weeks and just planning ahead.
I will not be returning my job as I was bullied and discriminated against for being pregnant, hence maternity leave early, but that’s a whole other thread!
So I’m hoping someone here can help me with ideas for work or small jobs to increase my income when baby arrives.
I’m willing to study something to work from home if anyone can suggest an area that would be ideal for me and doesn’t take several years of college etc.
I will struggle immensely on MA so I’d appreciate any tips and advice to get prepared. Thanks

Do you have a partner who works regular hours? If so, work on their days/evenings off - that's what I did. Some jobs might not pay much, but it's all income.

I do this.
I returned to an old job when baby was 10 weeks because I was in a similar position to you and hated the job I was in / couldn't live on SMP.

I now work 30 hours over four days and DH works 40 hours over four days so we only need childcare for the one day we crossover.
