Hi
I applied for a full time position at 36 weeks. I was pretty much guaranteed the job, but things happened internally and they needed someone straight away. My work knew I had hospital and doctor commitments, so they told me to contact them after Andrew was born.
Andrew was a week late and I had to stay in hospital for an agonising 4 more days (I cried my way out of hospital a day early to be in familiar surroundings). I checked my email and found my employer wanted me for a part time position and were happy for me to do the hours however way I wanted.
My employers are very family friendly - they let me take home a laptop to do extra work at home when I look after baby and are happy for me to sneak off every now and again to express. I went back to work both for necessity as well as to keep my sanity (I love having a career and I want to set an example for my kids - especially any future girls that God may bless me with - that mum's can have a flourishing career and be a mum too!).
All this at the same wage as my previous full time job when I wasn't pregnant! God can really answer those prayers when you're desperate!
