I know if you are sick and it's pregnancy related before you have your baby there is a timescale when you have to start maternity leave rather than be sick.
I have it the other way round. I'm now 7 weeks into maternity leave and I have a post op infection which means I'm admitted to hospital.
As the op was from my section would this count as pregnancy related or stand alone infection related sickness and even if it was can I 'go sick' rather than use up my maternity leave stuck in a hospital bed crying my eyes out. I'd get paid more being sick than on maternity and it'd mean when I get out I could have a but longer off to make up for this period of pain where I've not even been able to get out with the pram.
Clutching at straws probably but if anyone knows would be great to get some advice
