A new mum saved £15.5k for maternity leave - so she could afford to have a baby.
Alice Gregory, 30, was "shocked" when she found out the statutory maternity pay in the UK was just £184.03 a week - after falling pregnant late last year.
The mum-to-be realised the money would not even cover the bills and started saving straight away so she didn't have to be reliant on her partner, Dion McGrath, 31, support carer salary.

00:00I'm on a mission to earn as much money as I can whilst I'm on maternity leave because
00:19statutory maternity pay is sh**. So I decided to start this mission after I found out how
00:24low statutory maternity pay was when I fell pregnant last year. So I tried out loads of
00:28different side hustles to try to make money whilst I was still at work to save up for
00:32when I was on maternity leave. And now I am on maternity leave, I am trying to make as
00:35much money as I can around, obviously, my newborn baby.
