Hi Girls,
Long story short...I have Chronic Kidney Disease which I have had all my life. I am under Consultant care and have been advised to expect my baby somewhere between 32-38 weeks but more likely early. Currently I have booked 2 weeks holiday for weeks 30 & 31 of my pregnancy (currently 26 weeks). I don't really want to unnecessarily use my mat leave and wondered if I can ask the Consultant to sign me off from 32 weeks??? Work are geared up for me to go off then anyway (as am I!). I know at 36 weeks I will automatically be on mat leave if I am off sick with a pregnancy related condition but at least I will only use 2 weeks at that point if I am lucky enough to go to 38 weeks which I would have done if I was 'normal'! Thanks!
