To work or not to work

Hi everyone,
This is my first time posting on a forum so I hope I'm asking the right things!

Baby number two is on its way which is absolutely amazing! My daughter is 2 so it's a nice little age gap.
My problem I have is the cost of childcare, one child already costs 600 a month and that's me working full time so when baby number 2 gets here and I decide to go back to work part time would seem the more sensible solution.
But then, is he more sensible solution to stay at home??
I have a partner who works full time, he's on a salary of around 19,000 a year so I don't think we could manage on just his wage. Is anyone else in this predicament or has been and has any advice?
What kind of help if any could I be entitled to?!?

Thanks for reading Smile

Radical idea but get DP to reduce his hours and do childcare one day per week?
