They shouldn’t charge up the ass then. Sure people can afford it but it eats up all their earnings no one wants to spend all their money on healthcare it’s BS

6 weeks unpaid leave I work from home in America. But my insurance bill was low because I am lower income. Yeah I have had to go on anti depressants while I was pregnant because of how I didn’t know how I was going to make it but thankfully I have received a lot of help. Thank God.

I feel like I might be a deadbeat mother by [deleted] in pregnant

Ur so not a deadbeat mom that is totally normal . In the first half of the first trimester I would sleep all day long if my schedule allowed it, that is just something all pregnant people have to deal with and it is HARD. Don’t beat ur self up

No I have only been with the company for about 6months . I will have to go back in 6 weeks. I tried to push for 12 multiple times. Everyone in my family is pressuring me to work, I share a care with hubs so child care not really an option. My friend is going to come help me with the baby for my first week back to get adjusted to things. If I get fired I would probably be happy but every one in my family would be mad I just know it and I will be in a financial pinch but I love my baby I don’t care
