Hospitalisation leave

I’m currently at week 35, and having next appt at week 37. Have been feeling tired easily lately. Would it be ok to request to have HL from week 37 or 38 onwards? Not too sure if being tired is an acceptable reason for HL… FYI, im seeing Dr at NUH. #firsttimemom

I would say please ask for the leave. The last few weeks are tough to manage as it is mentally as well as physically tiring. Ask your gynac about how much leave he/she can give. Depending on that, you can decide which week to start your leave from. There is no harm in asking. The worst is you won't get a leave, but you definitely won't get any without asking.

no harm asking, but public hospital doctors are known not to give HL unnecessarily, unless your pregnancy is in danger. you will have better luck with private hospital doctors.

If you’re private, maybe yes
