Thats right, I was signed off sick right up till the day i was booked for mat leave (my leave was booked to start this week which is 4 weeks before my due date) but if i wasnt meant to start it until a week or two from now it would have kicked in this week if i were still signed off sick (not sure if my rambling makes sense, sorry!) x

THANKS Ladies knew I could count on you x

I thought I was correct the wording is not very clear on Direct Gov.

So Basicaly I am now on sick leave until 1st Nov when I will be on Mat leave as this is 4 weeks before my due date......

Is that right???

Im booked in for a sweep tomorrow, the midwife is phoning me with a time in the morning. Hope it works coz im getting so restless and uncomfortable and finding it impossible to sleep at night which is making me so grumpy, also my pelvis is not coping well with the weight of the baby and im in so much pain every time i stand up:(

Rach - congrats, photos are gorgeous

Gems81 - all the best for tomorrow

Tink - hope it all goes well with the boss

Congrats and welcome to the newbies.

Well I'm off into hospital tomorrow morning to be induced (unless someone decides otherwise tonight - I've just had curry, pineapple & RLT as my 'last meal' to see if I can persuade them :rotfl:), so whilst I may be on here lurking first thing tomorrow, the next time I reply I'll WILL be talking about the new arrival rather than moaning about it being late .

Labour vibes to all that need them in the meantime.

So went to see the Doc this evening and she has signed me off until my due date :eek::eek::eek:

QUESTION - Anyone know how it works with Mat Leave & being sick??? Is it right that my mat leave will automatically when I have 4 weeks before my due date???

So am I correct to think that I will now be on sick leave for 4 weeks then on Mat Leave from 1st Nov?????

Any help/advice would be fab as I am going to need to face my boss with this tomorrow which I am dreading

This is correct honey - at 36 weeks they can "force" you onto mat pay / leave and it will be sick pay / leave up until that point.

In fact its the 4 weeks prior to the Sunday before your due date (does that make sense?)

tink - DO NOT worry about your boss - in fact, you dont even have to go in - let them know you are now signed off and forward your sick note - the last thing that you need is to be worrying about them!!

rach - he's beautiful, glad you are home safe and sound

erm, everyone else - appropriate vibes

Here's my 33 week bump pic:

Hi all, not sure I am gonna be able to catch up for a while, but congrats to all those that have given birth and congrats to all the newbies.

Am sure someone may well have told you all, but Luke was born on 05/09 weighing 8 lb. He's not been very well, so only just brought him home. He's doing well now though.

MERFE

morning all

jmf good luck for today xx

Rach congrats on the little man, glad it is all going well x

hassle good to hear from you, glad little one is now home xx

I was told by customers I shouldn't be at work last night and no one believes there is only one in there when I tell them how long I've got left now, I know I'm huge but I still have 3 weeks at work and even then I think my maternity is starting early.

Gems81

Good Luck for today JMF looking forward to hearing from you when the little one is here!!

Ive been awake since 4am worrying!!:(
