Does gynae issue HL prior to Edd due to covid

Typically only if u have some unfavourable health condition then gynae will give HL prior to EDD. Private gynaes are also more flexible in giving it. I had 5 wks HL before EDD last Dec due to asthma and my gynae is frm Mount E. My colleague also had asthma but only managed to get 1 wk frm KKH.
