Hospital leave

Hi mummies. Has anyone taken hospitalisation leave before your edd? I am planning to take a week before my edd. Heard from some that doctors will only give if u are in need of it. What reasons did you give the doctor to get HL?#1stimemom #firstbaby #advicepls #pregnancy

i did not manage to get HL as everything was fine. i think it is only possible to get if you have some high risk symptoms or need bed rest. i cleared my own annual leave instead.

You can just start your maternity leave one week earlier. Most people go on leave 1-2 weeks before their edd since baby may come out any time from 38 weeks.

Pre-maternity can be taken 1 mth in advance if i not wrong

I heard its harder to get if you r in govt hosp. Nonetheless i think it makes sense they give unless u really have some complicated issues or such.

Hi, You can start your leave a week earlier than you maternity leave
