Dear mumsnetters
In my 4th decade a new pregnancy is hitting me hard....!
I'm exhausted, but feel I should count myself lucky that my request for flexible working has been accepted. I can return to work two days a week.
DP is very helpful with DD (10 months) when not at work, but he is there A LOT! He likes the idea of my resting and enjoying the time with DD. We're also lucky that money isn't a huge issue but I don't fancy the idea of dependency.... I realise I may have to get over that one....
I feel so tired, but worried - if I don't take the part-time work, I may just be out of work a year from now and no clearer about whether I want to be a SAHM unless I try it now.
Any ideas/ advice?
(The whole maternity pay or maternity allowance issue is scrambling my hormonal brain. Am I right in thinking it's about the same, other than the first 6 weeks when on MP you get the 90%?)
Thank you for reading
