Does anyone know what happens if you get pregnant while on maternity leave?
Say for instance you are 12 weeks pregnant when you go back, are you entitled to maternity pay still. I know that basically to get maternity leave pay you have to have been employed with the company around about the time you conceived.
My maternity leave is quite generous with full pay for 6 months and I know no one can say without reading my contract but if I went back after maternity leave would it be common to still be entitled to that full 6 months full pay.
DH and I planned on one child so waited until a bit later in life, but now I've had one I really want to give her a sibling so want to start trying as soon as we can but I want to be aware of our finances before we do.
My work are pretty good so I don't think they would be annoyed with me coming back and announcing a second pregnancy (assuming we are lucky a second time round - and actually I think they are sort of expecting it) and I'm aware I could be taking the piss but a second pregnancy is going to happen whether it's now or in a years time (again, assuming we are lucky again) and I've been with them for years and have no plans to leave besides maternity leave..
