what would you do?
Hi ladies, would really appreciate some advice if you don't mind. OH and I are TTC but I am really unhappy in my job and want to leave. A job is up for grabs in my home town, if I got it it would save me about ??150 per month in petrol, although the wages would probably be 5 -6 K less that I am on now. In my current job I can take up to a years maternity leave and then return to part time hours, I have no idea what the maternity package is with the other job. Do you think I should apply for it? I am totally torn as what happens if I get the job and then find out I'm pregnent? How would my maternity pay be affected? Really confused and worried, sat here feeling sick at spending the rest of my life in a job that I hate but terrified to take the leap and leave, I have been here for 7 years.
Any advice would be great.
PS I live in scotland, dont know if the maternity rights are different here to the rest of the UK?
Thanks

anyway - my point is that you might not get a good deal if you move and fall preg soon. not trying to put you off or anything, as i know what its like being in a job you hate.
just read that you're in scot too - might be worth having a look at your current mat rights and see if they have any special things for people who havent been there long, and that might give you an idea - as most companies do the same. most wont do over and above if you get what i mean.
sorry for the ramble!!!
You would def qualify for Maternity Allowance whichis like a maternity pay form the government which I think works out at roughly ??100 per week but you can only get this if you dont qualify for maternity pay from your employer.
I hope that helps.
I am also from Scotland!!!!.

and fully agree with LC2RED...if you are stressed you will probab struggle to conceive in first place
...and also, you want to be a happy mummy...and for me personally a job I like and a bit less money would do more for me then lots of cash but being scared of going back after maternity leave
