Motherhood Maternity

Or pay into a fund? If your company doesn't have a paid maternity leave benefit?
The idea would be to put money aside to pay you while you are on leave.
Canada's parental benefit is unfair to men but good for women. Canadians pay taxes through the nose though.

I am now on maternity leave,andcan take up to a year off work although my pay will go down drastically and the last 3 months will be unpaid. I would like to take the whole year but don't know if I'll be able to afford to. Any ideas of ways I can make money while still able to look after my baby? No criminal stuff/sex work suggestions please.
Thanks!

I am 4 months pregnant and cannot afford to buy any maternity clothing-my husband just doesn't see a need for it and he controls all the money. Does anyone know of a way if there is one I can alter my existing pants? I have a string tied around the button and the button hole to keep them on but this is so painful. Any ideas?

I don't want to spend a fortune, but I am a 5'2" plus sized woman pregnant with twins, and my regular elastic waisted shorts are getting tight! I looked at Walmart and Ross today and neither have plus sized maternity clothes. I tried Craig's list but really wasn't having any luck there.

I'd like to keep costs down, but can spend some money if I need to.

I am due September 17th and I am planning on working till about two weeks or a week before. And I was going to take maternity leave through Dec. and come back in mid-January. My husband has a full time job so money will wont be an issue during that time. Is that too long of a maternity leave? How long did you take?
