If your husband doesn't have a job then you will probably be entitled to something. If he gets a job then probably not. my wages dropped by 2/ 3 on maternity leave and I had no idea how we could suddenly lose over £1000 a month. But you do manage. I only went back towork part time and am only earning about £100 more than maternity pay....I've just had a pay rise but for the last year it was only about £50 more than maternity. With the cost of childcare it's just not worth returning back full time ! good luck. I'm sure you will be fine thou x

Child Tax Credits and if you work then possibility of working tax credits. Do a search for HMRC Tax Credits calculator and put your details in. Also, if you earn under £40k you will be entitled to full children benefits of £81.20 per month. Hope that helps. @cheryltomkinson1985

depending on where you live in the UK, you may be able to get housing benefit to help pay your rent. try using a benefit calculator online.
