Im 20 weeks and really struggling. I have hyperemesis (mostly under control with tablets), SPD (in constant pain and worse at work due to commute and uncomfortable seat). I've also had several UTIs.
I have considered going to the GP and getting signed off. Possibly until maternity leave at 36 weeks. I thought if you were off sick your mat leave automatically started at 36 weeks. However looking at the company maternity policy it says if you are absent with pregnancy related illness after the beginning of the 4th week before EDD then you will be classed as on maternity leave from the day after the 1st day of illness. Am I reading this wrong or are they saying maternity leave would start as soon as I had been signed off?
Anyone any advice or experience of illness and maternity leave?
