Taking sick leave ahead of mat leave
Hi girls, just looking for advice on starting Mat leave early by technically taking sick leave. I have a 4 year old - I worked right up to 38 weeks with her but was absolutely exhausted towards the end. Since her arrival I have had 5 losses but am thankfully pregnant again and nearly in my 3rd trimester. I’m beginning to think about my leave from work as I’m getting increasingly exhausted and tbh would love to have some thinking / preparation time before baby joins us.
In an ideal world, at what week would you finish up work? Or what do you think it acceptable / appropriate? I have 34 weeks in my head but not sure if that’s insanely early.
Thank you! Xx
