hi there

i need a bit of advice

my girlfriend is pregnant 3 months and has just found out that she will be getting made redundant as the textile firm she works for is "downsizing".

she may get a small redundancy pay out but it will not be much,
i myself work and my basic gross pay is £21,800, we have a morgage on a house and have the usual bills to pay, and a 4 year old son.

so we were counting on her maturnity pay from her employer to help us out when she was on leave. but now she obviously wont be getting that, and there is no chance of her getting another job as no one employs a pregnant woman.

does any one know if she is entitled to maturity money from the government , or tax credits how do we find out what we are entitled too.

many thanks

and please dont just say for me to get a better paid job, because jobs dont pay very well in northern ireland and id need a degree to get more money than im on now, lol

cheers

My fiance's ex-wife passed away while she was pregnant. Her baby is alive and doing well although he's premature. Her brother and his wife were going to raise him but have decided not to. My fiance and I are prepared to take him and raise him as our own. I have two boys, he has a daughter. We feel like it's the right thing to do but I'm so nervous about the whole thing. Are we doing the right thing? And no the baby is not his just in case you're wondering. There's no adoption category so I posted here. Any thoughts?

Mine was my hair--I would shampoo it, but it would still look greasy. Then I knew something was up for sure!

As I have asked previously about extreme hip and lower back pain, people where helpfull with info on the topic. But to follow up I was wondering if any women out there had thier OB prescribe pain meds during the last bit of pregnancy? What kind of meds did you take? And did it have any affect on your preganacy. This is how I look at it. I am already high risk for preterm birth. My last pregnancy, my water broke from what the doc thinks was high stress and anxiety. Now this pregnancy I have this unbearable pain, that I fear could lead to the same senario again. My over bearing mother inlaw (bless her heart I know she only tries to help) thinks that my OB is endangering my baby for no reason. But if true, why would he prescribe pain meds if he knows not to? I would rather trust my doctor than a woman, that yes has medical training (only with people who are dying) but nether less does not know lick about pregnancy's.

I realize that most people think autism is genetic; are there any other factors that may contribute to it?

This is probably a stupid question, but I've read certain things and I've heard different things from people. My son is used to falling asleep on me. I am in the stage of trying to get him to fall asleep on his own. He only seems to fall asleep on his own when he can rub a blankie in his face. It is one of those light weight blankets they swaddle them in like form the hospital. What should I do???

I don't have children yet(hopfully I am expecting). I'd like to think that my children will behave and I won't have to discipline, but we all know that will never happen. Anywho... I was just curious as to other peoples opinions. I believe in spanking. I think that's what's wrong with a lot of kids today: no discipline!

My teacher once had a student named Phuc Yu. Then I was told that it is a very popular name in vietnam. i was wondering if anyone knew what that name means. Please do not say it means F*** You.
The kid was born in Vietnam to an American father and a vietnamese mother. We've cracked a million jokes on how the kid got this name.

This question probably sounds really stupid. But hey...I'm still learning.

Are there any symptoms at all I should look for within such a short time frame? Or is it fairly futile to test sooner than at least 2 weeks after a potential conception date?

I watch a 12 month old little girl and her breath is so bad. Its not like normal bad breath, it smells toxic. I don't know if its because she is just getting on milk or what. I don't recall my son every having breath like that. So I don't know if it has something to do with her diet? Any ideas on how to fix the bad breath. I can smell it a foot away its so strong.

My daughter is 34 and pregnant with her third child. She went into pre-term labor with both babies. The doctor is hesitant for her to have amnio because of this. She did say that there is a new ultrasound test to be given at 12 weeks that is 95% effective in detecting birth defects if used in conjuction with the blood test. Has anyone heard of this
