NI Contributions made - but earning £1-3k

Options
Can any of you shed any light on this issue for me please?


I became self employed in Autumn 2011 and worked though til Feb, had a baby in March, claimed maternity pay (basic one, sorry I can't remember the name of it) and did a bit of work until November 2013 when I ramped up and did more (SE) work.


So the whole time I've been paying class 2 (?) contributions via my bank account to HMRC.


I now understand that I might not have to pay these as I'm not earning that much, sadly.


Is that right? and could I get a refund for having paid some already...? I don't know what the implications for pension are, if any...?


thanks, N
