Mat leave and holiday question

Hi, I'm 13 weeks pregnant and thinking of telling my work this week about the pregnancy. I'm pretty sure I want to finish work end of March (due date mid-May) to have some time at home before baby arrives, but I'm now wondering if it's worth using my holiday at the start or end of my mat leave. I currently work 2.5 days per week, so my holiday allowance is 14 days and refreshes start of April. If after mat leave I go back only 2 days a week, which is what I probably want to do, will I get all my 14 days to use for 2-day weeks or will it still be 2.5 days for the annual leave and then go down to 2 days when I start work again? I have to say I'd much rather have 7 weeks holiday to use compared to 5.5!

That is, if I actually go back at all, which isn't 100% certain...

You may not have a choice, I had to take my holiday entitlement from Jan-June in that period, and everything that accrues from June to end of my mat leave as one big chunk at the end.
Would advise not using up so much time before hand unless it is holiday though, especially if you only get smp.
