Consecutive Maternity Leave???

[NikkiLisa]

Hi Ladies,

Not sure if anyone can help me i am currently on mat leave and was going to go back in july when my 39 weeks was up, i am however pregnant again. This baby is due 6th september but i would be 29 weeks in june which is when i could start mat leave again. How would this work, would i have to go back to work in between or can i just go straight into my next lot of maternity leave? Confused

Thanks xxxx

You can just go straight from one period of leave to the next - this factsheet has loads of useful info about your rights and how your maternity pay is affected:
