Annual leave, sick leave and maternity leave query

Hi. I am off sick just now with a pregnancy related problem. I'm 29weeks and from beginning of sep I have annual leave booked then mat leave starting at 34 weeks. My sick line eats into this annual leave and although I would normally be able to claim this leave back and use it on my return obviously my maternity leave makes this impossible to do until next leave year. I wonder if leave can be carried over and if so how much? I cannot access the HR policy from home and was hoping to find out myself as manager not so great. Can anyone help? I'm in Scotland if that helps? The other thing is if I cannot carry any leave over I am better being on the annual leave rather than sick but I'm not sure if I can be on sick and then effectively go to annual leave as I won't be well enough to return in the meantime?

You can be on annual leave instead of off sick if you're better off doing that. You'll need to check your own policy to find out how much leave you can carry over. If they don't ordinarily allow any but you want to, it will still be worth asking.
