Hi all,
Me and OH haven't started trying yet but will be in a couple of months (we had to put it on hold for a few months). I've been thinking about how we will manage financially while i'm on maternity leave as i know this is what worries OH the most. We are both 23 and have full time jobs but are on low incomes (just above minimum wage), we manage ok just the 2 of us but i'm not sure what we'll get when i'm on maternity leave. We wont manage on just my OH wages and the small amount of maternity pay i'll get. Does anyone know what we can get, currently we don't recieve any benefits. I'd appreciate any ideas as i really can't get any help from the directgov website.
Thanks in advance.
