Finally the news is out! Been so hard keeping this quiet for so long. We can’t wait to meet you baby girl 🎀 🍼 👶

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

@StN_Freda Can’t believe how much has changed in two years since I qualified, it’s shocking when everywhere’s so short staffed! Hope you manage to be successful soon x

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

@amymannn92 Oh that’s a shame! Hope you find something perfect for you 💕

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

@CathLabNQNurse We’re going on a cruise in September when our little one will be one. Have the best time 💕

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

@StN_Freda I put everything on but just put company, role and dates except for the last few years

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

I’m betting no longer than 3 hours!

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

The bittersweet feeling of back to work tomorrow 😢

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

But how long will I be there until nursery phone 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

Next week Maddie start’s nursery, as much as I’m looking forward to going back to work not sure how I’m feeling about leaving her or paying the crazy fees!

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

Yesssss!!!

WE GOT THE WIN ON CHILD BENEFIT!
Chancellor tipped me off before budget, said this was due in large to MSE/my shows campaigning all based on all those of your who messaged me to say it was the key thing to put to him

So
1) From this April threshold which hasn't moved since 2013 rises from a single parent earning £50,000 to £60,000 and you lose child benefit totally at £80,000 (not £60,000)
2) Consultation on moving it to family income not individual income and hopefully that'll be in place from April 2026 (this is to stop unfairness for single income/single parent) families.

As I’m back at work in a few weeks I might start using this account again…all I can say is maternity leave has been stressful!!!

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

One part of my job I’ll always find frustrating is having to send people in to hospital who aren’t acutely unwell just because it’s not safe for them at home alone and there’s literally no services available to safety net them! Things need to change!

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

Two months today I’ll have finished my final shift for maternity leave…terrifying how quick this is going! 🤰

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

I would never normally complain about the nhs, I completely understand how overworked and stretched everywhere is but the maternity care I have received so far has been beyond shocking! And todays midwife just topped that off 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

13 weeks until maternity leave starts…can’t come any quicker! 👶 🍼

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

When you realise you’re going to have a child in 4 months so need to finally grow up and buy a sensible car 🚘 🤦🏻‍♀️

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

Pregnancy hormones and a full day of palliative care visits is not good for the emotions! 😢

[Leanne 💙 @leanne_StN]

Pregnancy, working full time and trying to maintain some kind of life is exhausting!!! 😴
