How many weeks pregnant do i have to be before i can start my maternity leave?
ive searched the web but cannot find it anywhere
Answers:
its usually 26 weeks onwards
minimum of two weeks depending on ur health situation.
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.
anytime but personaly i would wait until just before u have the baby so u can have as much time as u can in the first stages of life
Seriously, leave it as long as possible, you will wan/need to spend the time with the baby when it comes.
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!
Check with Human Resources where you work. You will probably have to gauge it yourself by the amount of time they will allow you.
it depends on your health but if you are healthy then it's normally about 26 weeks onwards.. but try to hang as long as you can so you get more time at home with your new baby.. Good luck and congratualtions to you!!!!!!
29 weeks pregnant.
11 weeks before your due date.
my wife did not go on ML until she was ready to go into labor. we packed all the things we may need in the hospital and had them ready in her office. im sorry if i didnt answer your question as you've expected but its something i recommend if your leaves are convertible to cash
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)
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.

Good luck and congrats on your impending arrival.
29 weeks is the earliest you can go on mat. leave.
just be careful here because if your employer is going 2 pay u maternity leave then u dont go back afterwards u may have 2 pay it back. it happened 2 a friend of mine.
if i were u i would stay in work for as long as i could when ur at home pregnant ur counting the days an imagining things are wrong with u. u drive ur self demented over thinking! stay at work for as long as u can keep ur self occupied if u can work right up the time will go alot faster. maternity is 26 weeks supposed to be 6 weeks before an 20 weeks after.
