I'm due to start my ML on Friday. So far through my pregnancy I have only taken 1 afternoon off due to sickness. I'm now 38 weeks pregnant and feel like I'm coming down with an awful cold. My OH was sick at the end of last week and was off work for 2 days and with all the medicine he could take still felt dreadful.
I'm a bit worried that now I'm coming down with the same thing but I'm not going to be able to take a day off work without triggering the start of my ML. I know for some people starting ML 5 days early isn't a big deal but for me I really need the money and it really is a big deal. :(
As far as I have read it seems that they can only trigger your ML early if your illness is pregnancy related but I was wondering whether this is something that they take your word at or if its then up to me to prove it wasn't pregnancy related.
Anyone information would be welcome, I have a feeling I'm going to have to suffer through.
