All,

To please one person - THANKS FOR THE INFO SO FAR.

To update - I have a well paid job and don't worry I'll step up to the plate WRT caring for the baby and the mother.

My GF wants to continue working even after the birth (and allowed leave). It's not something I'm forcing her into - quite the opposite in fact.

All the work related questions are so that we can make the best decision for us and the baby in the future. If my GF wants to continue work then I could move there (if I find a job there). Alternatively she could move here once we're married and all the necessary paper work has been done.

Lets just say that HERE isn't the best place for women though!
