On ML, but gynae issued HL, can i use up my HL first and push forward my ML until i give birth?

Question

Hello, FTM here. I’m currently in my 36th week. I’mplanning to apply for my ML on my 38th week and i have a cervix appt in that week as well. If let’s say my gynae (not knowing i’m already on ML) decided to give me HL until i show signs of labour, can i use my HL first and push forward my ML until the day i give birth? Has anyone faced this before? Does it depend on the company we work for in terms of the flexibility? #firsttimemom #advicepls #FTM

It depends on your company. Should you be issued HL then you can bring forward your ML. As long as ML are use up according to what youve plan it should be fine.

Hi mummy I did this too. Gynae suddenly offered HL towards the end when I already applied for ML. So I used the HL for w38 on and ML only start on EDD, so as to save on ML. Have to seek approval from your boss for this. All the best 🥰
