Hi Ladies I am due to have first baby in October so I am going on mat leave from work 1st October and that will take me upto 12th Nov for my 6 weeks at 90% salary, than after that it will be about £130.00 per week, does any one know if I will get any help with costs etc, I am single and dont really want to go back to work full time until the baby is at least 6 month's old, looking to go back after 26 weeks on mat leave, and when shall I apply for the extra funding if it is available.
