Hi
I'm Hayley, I'm 26 and I have a 7 month old baby. I have epilepsy, have tested positive for antiphospholipid antibodies a few times and SLE. My maternoty leave is up in a month or so and I'm really not sure about going back to work. My husband really doesn't want me to but I feel so bad about not contributing when he already has to do so much for me when I'm having my bad days.
Pros: worked really hard to get diploma just before leaving, would like to have my own money, NEED more money, would get me out of the house.
Cons: work is 15 miles away and can't drive due to epilepsy, for 3 days work would only earn what husband does in a day, stressful job working at solicitors, nursery costs £40 a day, would obviously miss baby like crazy.
Can anyone offer any advice? Also not sure on benefits etc that I may be entitled to?
Thank you!!
