30 weeks and have max out my MC

Hi first time mummy here! I’m 30 weeks and I have already max out my MC. Can I request for HL at 30 weeks? Is it too early? I would like to get some rest. I’m working in a preschool setting and my thigh and back is hurting as I’m taking care of 24 months old children so the back pains get tougher now. Also I need to sit down on the floor bcos we need to be on the children’s eye level. Anyone have any advice on this? I’m under NUH private. I also heard my colleague from the same hospital and under private said that her gynae said it’s hard for them to give HL now and she got 1 week HL instead when she’s already 35 weeks as they need to ask for approval from the high management. I’m kind of tired too and just need a rest due to my work. #advice #firsttimemom
