It is a fantastic scheme and I would think that whether or not I was pregnant or not. It is important that mums are allowed to stay at home with their babies and I will be sad to go back to work when I have to.
I earn 70% of the income as well as my partner has his own mechanic business and we dont earn alot from that as so much goes into the business. He also doesnt get holiday or sick pay because then there is no one to do the work. We just have to close shop. If we waited until we could afford kids we would be waiting forever.
