Is this bad form?

I'm taking a year off work mat leave, bany is currently 8 months. I need o be back at work for at least 6 months before I qualify for the enhanced mat scheme which is very good at my workplace.

If I got pregnant next month for example, I would be due sonetime in may (aprox) and will be technically back t irk for like 7 month but will be returning back to work 4 mints pregnant....is that bad form?

Honest opinions please.

Nothing is set in stone and we are unsure if we're even going to have another....weighing everything up at th moment.

I think you only have to be back at work for one day to be entitled to maternity leave again, meaning you could technically go back to work 9 months pregnant and then have the baby the next day and go off for a year again.

However - I don't know whether this would be considered bad form at your place of work, it depends where you work really...x

At my work you need to be back 6 months to qual for the enhanced leave....which is reeeeally good....just not sure how badly I would be look upon for going back 4 months pg as opposed to waiting a year or two.

Is there a huge rush to have another? Could you potentially return and then ttc? I was back an academic year (teacher) before going off again.

I could do blackholes....guess I'm asking because we've started to have unprotected sex again even though we're not actively ttc and my mind started wondering.
