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.
