I’m planning not to return to work after a 6week maternity leave. Will I owe the company back the maternity benefits, such as salary paid during leave, insurance, etc?

Some of the more pricey brands are sized by waist size like 29 or 30 inch waist. Do you buy them by your pre-pregnancy waist size since they have the stretchy thing in them? Like my pre-pregnancy waist is 31 inches, so do I buy a size 31 maternity jean?
Thanks alot!

I am 4 months pregnant and cannot afford to buy any maternity clothing-my husband just doesn’t see a need for it and he controls all the money. Does anyone know of a way if there is one I can alter my existing pants? I have a string tied around the button and the button hole to keep them on but this is so painful. Any ideas?

I’m curious how long you have to work in a teaching position before you can take extended maternity leave and still have a job to return to when you decide to go back to work.

Thanks!

I live in Canada and heard that you can’t get maternity leave if you work from home. Is that true?
Sweetpea….I said I WORK from home…so yes I do get paid and yes I do pay taxes.

Reinventingmyself asked:


I’m trying to figure out if it’s better to have a plan with a maternity rider option or take a plan that already covers maternity. I found a plan that allows maternity rider to be added on later and the monthly premium is less per month. But regardless if it’s with a rider or no- the waiting period is still 12 months.

Which way is the best option? My husband and I aren’t planning for kids for another couple of years but want to be covered when the time is right.

Is there anything out there that would help me cover my bills while on maternity leave. My job doesnt offer any kind of benefits and im a little stressed out on how i will pay my expenses while recovery from giving birth.

I’am 15 and i want to be a maternity nursery nurse when i get older. But I really want to know how many years of college do I need to take. And also can someone give me a really good detailed description of what a maternity nursery nurse do?
Also is it called Maternity nursery nurse or Newborn nursery nurse? If they are 2 different types then which does each of them do.

Intuitive Dreamer asked:


You know how they say your maternity clock is ticking, if you want a child?
Well how do you know? Is it more than simply the urge to be a mommy?
What can you do if yours IS ticking, but you’re only 20 and single, and don’t want kids til you are established somewhat in your career?
Hmm…well apparently I had this a little mixed up lol I suppose what I really meant to ask was, more along the lines of…should at 20 I be already wanting children like crazy?! lol
I am not worried about the time running out, maybe the clock as someone mentioned, just had the batteries put in? lol
I know I could handle kids for sure, I love them and was a live-in full time nanny for half a year with a nearly two year old boy.
I also have worked briefly in a private daycare.
So I know I can handle all of that, its natural for me, but I am wondering if 20 is the average age or so for women to start desiring children seriously lol

Ryden’s MaMa asked:


I got lucky enough to win a contest and I get free maternity shots done. I really wasn’t planning on this because I didn’t have enough money to pay for it, but now that I get to do it I need ideas. It is this Saturday and I really don’t know what to wear or what ideas I want to do. She told me to bring like 3-4 outfits. Do you guys have suggestions on what to wear or what poses to try? Anything you have seen before or did yourself and really liked?
