Early maternity

Up to 11 weeks before due date. If you’re really struggling and you’re earlier than that, you can ask your doctor for a sick note until that date?

I went on maternity leave at 32 weeks im a chef so struggled lifting and being on feet for 10 hours straight and its my own business so i was proberly abit different situation to others

I think it depends on your role, mine was 4 weeks prior to my due date anytime before that would be sick leave or annual leave
