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

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 🥰
