Usually you are guaranteed your total 12 weeks off. And you will need at least 6 of those after you have the baby. So count back from there. Also if you doctor is concerned he will let you know when it is time. And last but not least, you can always request to go to shorter workdays. I have done all three of these options. I think the shorter work days was the best, because it keeps you involved in something other than your pregnancy but you can get all of the rest that you need. I worked that time all the way up until 2 weeks before the baby was due. Then I got to stay home longer after I had her. It worked out great:) Good Luck and congrats!!

hi, i'm in an identical undertaking if no longer worse, My enterprise is going bust and that i've got by no ability been paid this month! i'm 11 weeks so maternity bypass away no longer due till early next 300 and sixty 5 days yet i'm actually disgusted with the suggestions-set of a few human beings at right here. Why the heck shouldn't mum-to-be's bypass on maternity - the reality that we are shows that we are working in assessment to 3 mums that use little ones as an excuse to no longer artwork. What are we meant to do? bypass on reward and allow others pay for us. no longer all human beings can cope with to pay for to stay at abode and proceed to exist somebody else's wages, so me and my considerable different are fortunate that we would be able to. i'm in basic terms making plans on taking 8 weeks and after that i elect to bypass rapidly lower back to artwork and my considerable different is going to be a stay-at-abode dad. I actual have seeked suggestion from the CAB and a enterprise could make you redundant without it being seen as discrimination if the enterprise can teach that they are havingfinanciall problems and yourpositionn is the perfect to allow bypass - they'll then no longer be able toemploye somebody else for that positioned up for six months. i'm hoping this has helped you and screw each and all the others thatdon'tt believe maternity pay - as i mentioned a minimum of it is the enterprise's paying us for time of and not the tax payers that are identifying to purchase human beings to do f all.

In Ireland maternity leave can start in the 26 week and it has been expanded now. I'm not sure but it has increased to something like 20 weeks off work.
Anyway take your maternity leave but YOUR NOT OBLIGATED TO RETURN TO SAME JOB AFTERWARDS.
In other words you can take your maternity leave, decide not to return after and not be ask for return of money.
For Ireland check out the equality website. listed below.
Good luck and congrats on your impending arrival.

the earliest you can go on maternity is 11 week before the due date. however it is probably wise not to tell your boss that you don't expect to return as this could have a knock on effect, it's always wise to have that safety net of a job to return to, you can turn it down later as long as you give your employer four weeks notice which in theory could be the last four weeks of your maternity leave (or the required amount of notice as stated in your contract)

Its up to you. If you have any benefits through your employer they may have some say in it. I'm not leaving until 6 days before my due date.
