Right well Im not really sure where to post but Ihave a problem.
With my last pregnancy Iwas consultant led care due to the fact Ihave had spinal surgery which my have caused me probs during pregnacy, in the end Iwas fine, and my back held up, but this time Iam really strugling. Idont know if its worse cause my stomach muscles are weaker this time round, but I find that Iet awfull pain if I do anythin physical and my back goes all weak like it cant support me, so I find it hard to lift Noah and even thins like getting in and out of bed, basically anything that involves bending.
Now the problem is that if Iget signed off work, I dont know if I can claim any sort of benefit. I only work about 10 hours a week at a local pub ut that is £250 a month that I need to get by on. But Idont have contracted hours and I dont get sick or holiday pay on my job. I have already worked enough weeks of the pregnancy to qualify for MA when I do take leave (13 weeks of the first 26 weeks of PG) but does anyone know if Im likely to be entitled to anything if Iget signed of sick, cause I really cant go several months without pay.
