Morning all,
I really need some advice, if anyone is able to give it.
We had quite a shock on Friday when a sample I had taken in to my surgery came back with a completely different result to what I was expecting- I'm apparently pregnant! It was a big shock as I have depo injection so it was the last thing I was expecting to hear. They've now taken bloods to 100% confirm but as you can probably imagine I have a lot of worries and questions going round my head!
I've only been set up and minding since Feb. I have a 23 month old, a 2.5year old and my own son who is 2 next month (as well as after schoolies) - would I have to give one of the mums notice and lose a lump of my income?
Anyone who has been pg while minding: did you really struggle to cope? How far along did you work too? How long did you take off? And then there's after, how did you cope with a newborn, your own toddler and mindees??
And the main question: do I risk completely losing all my
Mindees due to parents being unhappy with the situation??
The only way we could do this without it completely breaking us financially is to take the bare minimum time off but then I'm absolutely terrified I won't cope :( please, if any can give me any advice, help, comfort that everything won't go to pot I would really appreciate it x
