hi guy,
i have only recently found out i am pregnant and due in December 2009!
i am currently working and trying to find out when the earliest i can leave work and start my maternity lave/pay?
everywhere i look says i have to let me employer know by the 15th week before i am due and take my leave after the 11th week i am due.
what if i want to take it earlier?
i am already feeling very sick all the time and extremely tired-so not sure i can cope. but don't want to hand in my notice as i want my leave and pay!
any advice? i can't seem to find anythign helpful on directgov and don't know anyone who has been through the same situation.
i do not intend to return to work after the baby.
help please!
thank you!
