I cannot answer this question as I don't have any children yet and when I do it will be when I am done with the business for good but for those such as yourself who are happy to work on after you've had a little one, you don't need a financial break as there is other things you can do.

I personally would never offer escort services while pregnant for a number of reasons I wont go into as there are plenty of ladies who do and no disrespect to them but you could always offer massage services with a happy ending perhaps? You could do this until you really start to show and get tired easily so that the financial break is only a few months rather than a year.

I think the best thing to do though would be to save as much as you possibly can before having a baby so you don't feel the strain too bad.

I am a single mother and I hope no one else experiences what I have.
I gave up escorting and never said never but I didn't want to go back to it.
I wish I had saved a lot or found myself a career but the pregnancy was unplanned.
I love my child more than anything but I am restricted to working and when I do earn good money I'm restricted to what I can do. It's not fair to take a baby on holidays and trips.
I have wasted a lot of money and I am now beginning to save for our future.

When the time is right I will give up escorting and meet a nice man and settle down again and not return to escorting but right now I just want to work.

Thank you! this is what I was looking for! I had an unplanned pregnancy earlier in the year and due to different reasons went through a termination, but it's something I very much regret and my thoughts keep going back to children. Because of child care etc do you find it harder to make the same amount of money you used to, e.g. restrictions on working etc?

i have worked through the last 20 years and brought up 2 fantastic bpys, now age 20 and 12 and have always worked and supported them as a single mother i dont have family and have always had excellent childcare, its not easy but the time i have with my boys is always good and long periods of family hols help.... Yes you are more restricted to your hours and days but i am now looking at my son going off to uni and thinking wow i did that.... SO YES you can work and have a family and not struggle financially as long as you plan !!!!!!

Thank you! I only know one WG with youngish children who had them while working so it's nice to hear other views
