Maternity Leave and Pay
My concerns are my possible inability to afford to stay off on maternity leave for the 9 or 10 months I had originally planned to, last year.
This is as a result of my husband being furloughed with no real idea if he could lose his job, which would impact our ability to “save up“ for maternity leave. (We are still saving).
Our current savings might need to be used if he is made redundant as a result of the current pandemic.
This is causing me anxiety which isn’t good for my baby. This may mean reduced bonding/breastfeeding my baby.
This means perhaps unable to socialise my baby.
As we also know unable to see family or have any support from family.
What if my husband has to take a job on much reduced salary and we can’t afford nursery/childcare?
What if my parents cannot help with childcare as they are vulnerable?
All serious concerns.
Why the contribution is important
Financial implications of the pandemic on a mother’s ability to bond, nurture and look after her child which is in their best interests.
