Anyone know anything about maternity leave? HELP!
We have just started ttc and are really excited about it.
I am currently self employed but have started looking into going back to work due to the current economic climate.
How long do you have to work with a company before you are entitled to maternity leave and pay?
What happens if you haven't worked for the company long enough, do you lose your job, or do you have to take leave with no pay at all?
Dont know if we should put ttc on hold until securely in a job again, really don't want to do this though ?
Any help would be graetly appreciated, again, lol!

Its all to think about at the mo, would probably make sense to stop ttc until I am in work again
What happens if you are already pregnant when you start work or fall within the first few weeks, are you entitled to anything?
Just looking into all eventualities!
So if get a BFP before I start work I may only claim maternity allowance (??123 a week I think) but if when I get my BFP I have worked for the company for 2 weeks or more then I could also get SMP for 6 weeks at 90% of my wages and then the smp at which is the same amount as maternity allowance.
So basically if I fall pregnant before work then I will only miss out on 6 weeks at 90% pay?
