Hospitalisation leave

How to ask or tell for 1 week HL? Im 36+ weeks now, on subsidised route at kk. EDD is just like what? 3 weeks ++ away? I already planned my leaves swee swee but I didnt realise I needed to start earlier because I didnt know I would be in this constant uncomfortable state. Like, legit need to be hospitalized or ask for long MC because Im just tired from walking short distance & back ache, sciatica & pelvis pain & coughing because of heartburn. I know this is normal to have all these symptoms, as long as baby healthy but why not the mother? Mother also needs to be healthy (physically, mentally & emotionally) . Government should give more than 3.6 months of Maternity Leave so that we can start ML at 8 months onwards and not giving us option to start 1 month before EDD. We should be able to be physically,mentally&emotionally ready to go back to work too. This post is honestly a how-to question and a rant since this is my 1st time expecting.

I'm in KKH sub route and my doc issued me HL from my 36th week onwards coz he says it's a normal practice when I asked him when my HL will commence. He is aware that I am working in events industry, but did not mentioned that my job nature is one of the factor that he issued 4weeks before my EDD. On another note, not sure if it's because he is an associate consultant (kinda inexperience I guess?) hence following the book since he mentioned it's normal practice? Nevertheless, you can just ask your doc and share your concerns if you think you'll prefer a longer or shorter HL. You know your body and how you're coping with your work best :)
