The advice of the helpline is good. I thought the maternity leave was based on the last 66 weeks of work and your NI payments so she may need to continue her NI payments as a self employed person to get maternity. I pay between £8.40 and £11.40 per quarter.

I would like to stress that I pay it for unempolyment/sickness benefit and not for more children!!!
