Hi Jean .............. Having a baby should not stop you from working in the UK. A large number of women in the UK with babies have no choice but to work to help support their family. Fortunately, there are registered childminders, creche and nursery facilities available to help with this (also after school and holiday clubs for school age children) but they do come with a cost.
You could also consider working in the evenings or weekends when your husband might be able to help out.
I went back to work full time when my son was only 5 months old as my ex husband and I couldn't afford not to at the time. It was hard work but we were all able to live more comfortably and it certainly didn't do my son any harm ..........
Stating the intention to work in your application could, in my opinion, add more substance to it.
Good luck with the application and your new forthcoming arrival![]()
