hopefully he'll have some annual up his sleeve, might be able to get my sister's to help their not working but they have a child each but kids can have a play date lol. going to see if we can morgage halted for a couple of weeks when bub is born cause we have never missed a payment so we are in front. its silly thou were supposed to be recovering from major surgury and yet we are entitled to have the help to recover, my mum when she had her c section was able to have home help just so they can get washing on and off the line and other bit and pieces of house work she was not able to do for a few weeks.

This isn't the kind of help Clink provides. I'd start with your local hospital or council. However remember, there is a point where it's up to you to look after yourselves or ask for help without anyone expecting some sort of handout. You have some time up your sleeves to put away extra $$$, your ptr will have some annual or sick leave I imagine, so it might not be so bad. You can also add a few items to your weekly shop (baby wipes, tinned tomatoes, toilet paper etc) and stockpile them now.

Good on you for planning ahead though.
