Maternity leave must start on the date of birth of the baby, or up to 4 weeks prior. It cannot start after the date of birth. All public holidays, weekends, CB or anything else that falls within the period of the maternity leave is counted into the 16 weeks (if you’re taking all at one shot). There is no extension of ML for holidays

Or you can ask your gynae for HL till you EDD. If you feel tired or in pain. So ML you can focus more on the baby.

It starts before or on the day you give birth unless your company has the flexibility which unlikely.
