I’m surprised at how much maternity benefits vary from company to company and country to country. How are you planning to cover things like mortgage/rent payments whilst you’re on maternity leave?

I am planning to return to work (NHS) after my maternity leave finishes but am also thinking of starting my own buisness which i may be able to get off the ground before i am due to return to my employer.
Can i work self employed whilst receiving SMP? I live in the UK.
Anyone have any experience of this?

I am leaving a well paid corporate job with great benefits to work for myself. I was recently married and my wife wants to have children soon. She does not have benefits through her job so I need to ensure we are covered well. What are some great options for affordable health coverage in Illinois that includes maternity and what’s the time frame before maternity coverage kicks in?

I am planning to take 3 months off from work but really worried about how I’m going to make ends meet when my workplace doesn’t offer vacation time or anything. Is it true that women go on short term disability during maternity leave?

Thanks!!

(I was just reading that in most European countries and Canada you get a YEAR paid maternity leave and free medical. It’s not fair!!!)

Induced Tomorrow Bubby boy =) asked:


Hey,
I was just wondering i am trying to naturally induce my labour and i heard maternity acupressure is really effective.
I was just wondering if anyone can tell me after you finish rubbing the points how long is it meant to be before you go into labour? Straight away or what?
Thanks..

I love clearance shopping and like to plan ahead when I buy things cheap. Would it be stupid to buy maternity clothes now even though I’m not showing? If not, what stores do you recommend for super cute maternity clothes? I don’t want anything frumpy!

We are expecting our second baby in June 2008. I’m having a C-section and wanted to know what is the best maternity hospital in Center City Philadelphia. We just moved here from California so we don’t know the area very well.

We don’t have any health insurance however sense we are about to start a family we want full coverage for maternity. She is planning on becoming pregnant in mid February to mid March. Also we want a policy that she can choose a really good doctor and hospital. Also we are curious to know what the monthly payments should be and if we would have any outside expenses beyond these payments. Can anyone help us with these decisions.

Thank you.
