I am seven and a half weeks pregnant. My daughter has just turned one (12th Nov). Has anyone else had children this close together? The new baby wasnt planned (I have PCOS and have not had a period for nearly a year meaning I am 'infertile' hahaha), we do still have a moses basket and most things I think we will need, Im just wondering if anyone

i'm currently 14.5 weeks pregnant.. my little girl is almost 14 months old so she'll be about 19 months when this baby comes along so there'll be a small age gap ;o)

I'll tell you how I coped once baby arrives hehe.

re: not being able to get maternity pay from your employers.. don't forget about MATERNITY ALLOWANCE.. as long as you work for a minimum of 26 weeks in the 66 week period before your baby is born you are entitled.. you claim it from your job centre plus.. and it gives you 26 weeks of SMP (£108per week).. theres a small chance you may get 39 weeks SMP due to new government legislation but I need to check that out too..

Good luck with it all ;o)

forgot about that bit.. though would 36 weeks work out as part time!?

I know i'll get the £108 as the 28 weeks I did work at Cap One I was earning a decent wage.
