Yeah the joys of army life. He got posted to afghan for 6months nov 2011 home June 2012 then posted to Cyprus July. Managed to finally... After 18months of trying .... Fall preg in sept 2012 and didn't see him from prob the day we conceived til day before 12 weeks scan. Even had to give him the bfp news over FaceTime. It's hard we read bedtime stories to our 5 year old using the iPad and speak most days on that. Thank god for modern day technology at least. He's hoping to get a posting back to Wales where we live before baby arrives in June. Then he would be based here for 2.5 years so some nice family time.
I could have gone with him to Cyprus in July but he was away on exercise etc so much for the rest of the year I actually would see him more staying in uk. He went back to work jan 5th and won't see him til march. Hoping a little earlier tho. I'm sure he's loving missing my hormonal bitch fits this time but certainly missing Alfie and the nice non stroppy me x

Lisa hopefully he'll get a good posting back in the uk

Ttcnewb - first baby worked upto 35 weeks then used holiday, then mat started. I'm going to do something similar this time work upto about 35 weeks then take 4 1/2 weeks holiday and start maternity leave on EDD only because I went two weeks overdue last time do confident I'd be the same or there abouts this time. My maternity pay is pretty much the basic offering but as I will have two children it works out best if I stay on maternity leave the whole year and then go back to work. Returning back to work I'm hoping to take a days holiday each week till end of year so work 4 days but paid full time won't save us much money about £40 a month (get discount at nursery if full time) but I found it easier to start going back to work and spend some time with the children. What are you thinking?

To be honest I'm a little confused about it all. I would like to finish work at 36 weeks. Hopefully finish on paid mat leave taking 20 weeks on half pay. Then annual leave hoping to negotiate getting it paid at 45hrs a fortnight which should give me another 8 weeks of pay. Then government parental leave payment which is minimum wage for 18 weeks. Then back to work. I work full time now and want to drop back to 45hrs a fortnight in which I'd like to work every second weekend and every Friday and Monday. That way we only have to have the baby in daycare on Mondays. My husband finishes work on Fridays at 12.30pm so our parents will share looking after baby on the Friday morning.

Ttcnewb can you have that much time off before ppl starts? Not sure what the time frame is as I didn't work before DD so I got the baby bonus instead.

I'm taking 7 weeks annual leave from 1st April then my official mat leave will start 13th May I will be 37 weeks then, taking 6 weeks at 90% of my wage and remainder at SMP £135, don't plan on returning to work until baby is 18 months old so will hand my notice in to leave my current job and then look for more work when I'm ready, looking forward to being a SAHM for a while x

I am so jealous of you ladies who are able to take 12 months maternity leave. As long as there are no complications, I plan on working up until I go into labor. We only get 5 weeks paid maternity leave, and I will probably try to use my vacation time to get another 3 weeks for a total of 8 weeks. If I save up enough money I can take a bit more, but it's a struggle as things keep coming up.
