30 weeks and have max out my MC

Hi first time mummy here! I’m 30 weeks and I have already max out my MC. Can I request for HL at 30 weeks? Is it too early? I would like to get some rest. I’m working in a preschool setting and my thigh and back is hurting as I’m taking care of 24 months old children so the back pains get tougher now. Also I need to sit down on the floor bcos we need to be on the children’s eye level. Anyone have any advice on this? I’m under NUH private. I also heard my colleague from the same hospital and under private said that her gynae said it’s hard for them to give HL now and she got 1 week HL instead when she’s already 35 weeks as they need to ask for approval from the high management. I’m kind of tired too and just need a rest due to my work. #advice #firsttimemom

I’m 34 weeks pregnant and also working under the preschool sector. Understand your struggle very much and was denied HL too. Doctor told me that they might be able to give me HL only when I am around 38 weeks or nearer to due date lol hahahaha

So far, my gynae hasn't inquired much; perhaps I only requested 2 days rest and told her that my MC have max out. Despite mentioning my back and thigh pain, she simply dismissed it as normal, which seems amusing. Sometimes, it feels like they don't fully grasp our job demands but maybe now they're stricter due to people exploiting the tele consultations 😅
