Thank you! My email says if I haven’t heard anything by 14 weeks to call them, my GP has sent a referral but it’s under community so still waiting for them to send me an appointment. Can guarantee it’s when I’m not around haha
I'm going back after 9 aswell, with my first I went back after 6 months cos that's when my full pay stops, this time I'm taking the extra 3 months on SMP but then that stops, I feel the exact same as you! Going back is so so hard but it deffo makes me appreciate the time I have with my son even more.
The best advice I have is not to countdown to going back to work cos I deffo did that with my first and it made everything less enjoyable
Tell me about it. I can definitely afford the 9, but my boyfriend has a job interview this week for a job that means we’d be able to afford the 12… so no pressure but there’s a lot of pressure on it in reality.
All the good luck for your boyfriends interview
Can you add on holidays to the end to make it last a bit longer ? I’m hoping I can use my KIT days and that I may get a bonus after the SMP finishes to keep me going to get the year. Trying to save now but it’s hard when they need so much buying !
Hang on, have you not had any appts yet?
Thank you! I appreciate it. He’s quite good in the sense he isn’t really willing to settle until that’s possible for us, whether it’s a salary increase at this one or a new job. And the lazy girl in me cannot WAIT to cut down to four days a week at work which is also happening on my return to work as promised.All the good luck for your boyfriends interview
Have many people changed their working pattern after having kids? I just can’t go back on five. It’s not in the plans for me. The idea is that I’m actually going to leave my job too, and find one that’s a lot less effort on four days a week. The dream would be something term time only, but that might be pushing the boat a little bit straight away. Ah, just make me a full time housewife already Mr Laugh.

I changed my shifts, so I work 4 days a week now, my day off is midweek which I really like because it's like a mini weekend for me haha.
I stretched my hours though so still full time working 8-5 or 5.30. Although I work from home so also just cram all my work in before 3.30 then hang round with my kid occasionally moving my mouse for the last 2 hours
I honestly don't know why my partner isn't a millionaire yet so I can live the life i deserve
The idea of having children to just have to send them to nursery makes me so sad. Like it’s the reality for basically everyone isn’t itI changed my shifts, so I work 4 days a week now, my day off is midweek which I really like because it's like a mini weekend for me haha.

which I know is good for them too in many ways, but really I’d love to only work like 2 days a week as my ideal balance. Or none 
Guys they messed up my 12 week scan (next week) and called yesterday to ask if I could come in this afternoon instead as they’d had a cancellation and I am SO NERVOUS 
I know I only saw them 10 days ago and all was fine but this one feels like a much bigger deal with all the checks and confirmed due dates and probably confirmed consultant appointments etc

I want to drop 1/2 days a week but not sure how accommodating work will be with that!The idea of having children to just have to send them to nursery makes me so sad. Like it’s the reality for basically everyone isn’t it
Omg I know! I always think this about nursery. I'm lucky my mum has my son and she has him in my house so I'm really not missing out at all, but I really feel for people who have to send babies to nursery full time! My 2 year old only started mornings in nursery in April, I cried every dayThe idea of having children to just have to send them to nursery makes me so sad.

No matter how many times I hint my partner still isn't understanding my need to be not working, he's so rude and selfish sometimes hahahahaha
Omg no see it as a positive instead it’s an exciting appointment not scary!!! It’s so nice to have everything confirmed, it’ll all feel more real in a lovely way.

had my booking at 10 weeks and my 12 week scan at hospital but then my rest will be with community as I’m out of area!
Ahh I see, sorry! At least you’re on the system then
I’d defo try and call and email and let them know you’ll be away so need to make sure it’s booked in.Sending love!

I’m really struggling with what to do as well, we are very lucky I can take 12 months off work and then hope to go back part time. I WFH full time and can be really flexible with it. My husband does too but also travels with work a few times a month. My in laws live about 5 mins away and would always offer to help. I don’t want to put baby into any kind of daycare/nursery unless I need to and it feels like a waste of money. I’d quite like baby to go to some kind of cute nursery school but they need to be 18-24 months to go to those. I’m not sure if we can muddle through for 6 months or if it’ll just be crazy trying to actually work and not have any formal daycare arrangements…Omg I know! I always think this about nursery.

I'll be incorporating my holidays into the maternity leave but my husband gets months of full paid paternity leave so we are thinking in order to maximise the money coming in I should go back sooner and he can take his leave once I am back. I can't imagine him home all day with a baby
