Hello. 29 weeks pregnant and increasing exhausted. Work have been trying to get me to reduce my hours or use my holiday entitlement. Job like many is a stressful profession. My maternity is starting as late as possible but stopping work using leave at 36 weeks. Carrying over 2 weeks (which is company policy). I genuinely feel since becoming pregnant my boss is making life difficult for me. I organised the advert for my role (wasn’t involved in the selection process). My replacement starts after I go on Mat leave but boss expects me to do handover before. I’m trying desperately not to complain and just focus on the end. But I’m at my wits end and are we are Sunday night with the fear of starting the working week again. I would get full sick pay on sick absence. I’ve had occasional pregnancy related sickness days already.

Not an expert but I dont think work can force you to cut your hours or use holiday! They need to make reasonable adjustments so that you're comfortable at work.

It sounds like your boss needs standing up to on this. I would contact Pregnant then Screwed helpline for advice.
