any1 change jobs afta mc..did it help?

[babyangelbean20315]

Basically what the title says, has anyone had a mc, struggled with going back to the same work place, even though they have been very supportive I realise life is not that long and I can't waste it doing something I dont care about...I am thinking I need change in my life but I don't know if job is the right change
has anyone else done this ? What was it like
do u wish u stayed ? I jus don't no what to do I'm still at a loss with myself and my due date is in the next few weeks

I do want to try again and have been since I could, I don't really know the laws on maternity leave as we were going to discuss at work after my scan (when I discovered mmc) so never got round to those details...if I do change jobs will I qualify for maternity pay ? I am not currently pregnant as far as I am aware and tbh been trying a few months and no luck so I think this will take time anyway

Any experience in this ? Or just generally any advice ?

Have a look on the adviceguide website. Basically you only qualify for statutory if you are under a certain number of weeks pregnant when you start. Many firms require you to be employed for at least one or two years to access enhanced benefits. Your staff handbook should tell you what the deal is at your current place.

I've actually just resigned. I thought about it for quite a while, I think I'd have been entitled to 6 weeks at 90% statutory then my work offered an additional 5 weeks at 50%. But decided ultimately I need a lifestyle change. Not yet decided what to do, look for part time or maybe a contract role until I'm pregnant again. Can't tell you if it's the right decision, too early to tell, but stress levels feel like they've gone down already.

Oh, I changed career between 2nd and 3rd MC and to be honest I'm still not sure after 6 years that it was the right thing to do. I think making a big decision so soon after bereavement is really difficult, it's hard to know what your feelings are going to be in say 6 months. Not to say it might not be the right thing for you - but I don't think I would have done it, if I could go back.
