Did you get SMP the first time around? I can't see why you wouldn't get it if you did?

MummytoLiam · Feb 16th, 2013, 04:33 AM

Yh I got it first time round but apparently I won't be able to this time not sure why

My_First · Feb 16th, 2013, 04:56 AM

How long will you have been at work for this time around before number 2 is due?

You still should unless you've cut back your hours.

Then you will be entitled to it. When you get your mat b form from the midwife they employer will have to tick a box saying why you are/not enties to mat leave. I see no reason why you wouldn't be as being on maternity leave is a continuity of service.

I thought you had to be back at work 3 months to be entitled?
