Hi ladiesand gents, I hope this makes sense as I've cut and pasted it from the due in october thread as I'm really worried about this and it's making me feel ill. I'm 18 weeks pg and Following a collapse on Sunday and the doctors telling me to take it easy, I've taken Monday off work, went in this morning till 1pm and I'm taking tomorrow off too - I only work Monday to Wednesday. Just spoken to my head who has said she'll need a sick note for this week as it is one end of half term? This in itself is fine, I've got an appointment to get a note tomorrow. Will the doctor backdate it till Monday and where do i stand having gone in for a half day today? Also she said she'd haveto have a word with me as this will effect my maternity leave - eh? I've checked all the information I have and as far as I can tell any absence on account of illness attributed to pregnancy is classed as ordinary sick leave if covered by a doctor's note. This only changes if you're within 4 weeks of your due date when maternity leave can be enforced.
Does anyone have any experience of this? She's worried me sick now saying we'll have to have this little chat. I wouldn't put it past her to try and enforce early maternity leave just to get me out the way. I really feel like crying why does she have to say these little vindictive things?
