Hospitalisation leave

How to ask or tell for 1 week HL? Im 36+ weeks now, on subsidised route at kk. EDD is just like what? 3 weeks ++ away? I already planned my leaves swee swee but I didnt realise I needed to start earlier because I didnt know I would be in this constant uncomfortable state. Like, legit need to be hospitalized or ask for long MC because Im just tired from walking short distance & back ache, sciatica & pelvis pain & coughing because of heartburn. I know this is normal to have all these symptoms, as long as baby healthy but why not the mother? Mother also needs to be healthy (physically, mentally & emotionally) . Government should give more than 3.6 months of Maternity Leave so that we can start ML at 8 months onwards and not giving us option to start 1 month before EDD. We should be able to be physically,mentally&emotionally ready to go back to work too. This post is honestly a how-to question and a rant since this is my 1st time expecting.

I am on 2weeks HL now before my planned maternity leave. During my 36wks check up i am at 2cm dilated dr asked me if i need MC and i said i max up my mc, can i have 2wks HL until my ML? Then she asked me where I work, i think depend on what line of work you do. I am a nurse and it is physically tiring, i cannot take care of my patients if i am the one who is uncomfortable and not walking properly(waddling and slow move) You should talk to your Dr and explain why you need HL. I am under NUH private :) goodluck!

Anyway Dr explained to me that company will question them if they give HL, thats why now i understand why Drs cannot give HL so easily. It depends on your case/situation. Otherwise they can give MC easily coz it is MOM policy.
