hi,
I am in a bit of a pickle. i had planned to leave edinburgh in November to return back to Ireland. I studied in the UK and have worked there for 6 years in the NHS.
Very bad timing, but big suprise...I am pregnant. I don't know what to do now. If I come home in november I don't think interviewers will be impressed by the bump, and even if I leave it to after the baby is born the NHS only pay mat benefit for 8 weeks if you are terminating your contract. either way I can't afford to come home to this financial uncertainty.
would I be entitled to state maternity benefit?
Who should I speak to? I am completely out of the loop in this area.
Any help would be appreciated.
