Hi,
I am currently 30+6 and have decided (after 2 weeks of annual leave) that I really don't think I can make it to my current finish date of 7th October or 39weeks.
In my maternity letter from HR it says I can request to change my finish date, so that is what I have done today.
I am starting to become very tired and now prefer to have a mid-afternoon nap if I can. I also now have sore ribs whenever I eat, I am sometimes a little sick in my mouth (sorry TMI) after even small meals and I can't really sit for more than a couple of hours at a time before I become quite uncomfortable. So, I don't feel I can make it to 39 weeks.
I think I am nervous about my request as I feel a bit silly to think I could have worked that long to start with (although my manager did push to keep me in work as long as possible). I have also had a very healthy pregnancy and only stopped going to the gym at 28 weeks.
So, AIBU to ask to change my finish date only 4 weeks before I would like to stop?
Thanks
