When you finish work to have a baby, your mind is likely to be a whirlwind - and it'll be so easy to forget to consider what will happen to your pension when you go on maternity leave.
You will have likely considered how much maternity pay you will get, how it's calculated and who actually pays it. You may have thought even further about the benefits that you could claim while on maternity leave if you're not sure you can make ends meet. But it's also really important to understand your pension position while you are off, as it could have a hugely positive impact on your income when you eventually retire.
