to take three maternity leaves from one job?

[bedraggledmumoftwo]

I am still considering having a third baby. Jury is still out. However, if I did get pregnant again, that would be the third time with the same employer and I imagine my boss and colleagues would think I was taking the piss!

There are plenty of people with more than two kids out there- did they all change jobs or become a sahm before the third one... I can't help but think that although I am legally entitled, it would be unreasonable of me to take a third lot of maternity leave while still in this job?!

I manage to do both cruikshank

I dont feel bad at all about taking ML and to be honest the only reason im still at my current job is because we planned to have a baby and i get an amazing maternity package. I wont leave until im sure ive had all my kids. I work in the public sector though and i know that my absence has minimal impact in the scheme of things.
