Hi, are you saying you want to be at work cos you'd be bored at home, or is it because you think they will force you to start maternity leave ?
If it's the latter, I don't think they can make you start your maternity leave because of sickness until you're 34weeks (sorry, not familiar with current law but that's what it was 5 years ago when I had DS1).
If it's the former, then, sorry, my advice is stay at home, and catch up on any books you've been waiting to read!

bit of both really thinking that maybe just one of those things and everything will be ok

I'd stay at home and chill for now, as advised, but as per nicmum2boys, work can't make you take early maternity until 34 weeks, so you could go back say next week if you feel better and no further probs? (if you think you gona be bored may I suggest spending all day on here!!)

it is now 36 weeks until work can force your metrnity to begin

hope you are ok
