Hello everyone,
I just wanted to have some advice as I am/might be in a tricky situation. I have just started my ECT (Early career teacher) two weeks ago and there is a possibility I might be pregnant (I’m very late on my periods, and I did two first response tests that had a very, veeeery faint pink line so not sure and did a clear blue one that said negative so I’m waiting a few days to try another one). I’m just wondering what you think would happen with work, as it was not planned, and I’m worried it’s going to look bad as I’ve just started. (It’s a permanent contract). I was also wondering what would happen financially as if I’ve read correctly I wouldn’t be eligible for maternity statutory pay. Me and my partner have been together 7 years and really want a baby but I’ve just been pushing it because I wanted to get settled in my job first so I’m feeling a little bit lost right now.
Just wanted to get some advice! :)
