hi mummy. maternity leave only starts the day your baby arrives, anything before that is hospitalization leave. when are you due? you can let your gynae know about your struggles now and you’d probably be put on HL till your baby arrives. however, i’m also aware that some gynae doesn’t issue HL unless you’re really hospitalized. it really depends on your gynae.
you can try asking your gynae for HL.. otherwise you can start your ML 4 weeks before EDD
