Maternity leave

My ML starts on the day of birth. I got HL 5 wks prior due to asthma so there was more than enough time to prep myself. If u're a private patient, try to ask for HL prior, some moms still get at least 1 or 2 wks. I took my ML 2 months straight and the additional EML flexibly such tt it only counts the working days and not wkends/PH so as to maximise it. I also took 2 months NPL as I wanted to be home with my baby for his first 6 months. Was really worth it as I cld see him through his many milestones frm rolling to crawling and standing while holding onto furniture now at 6+ months. I wish I cld extend but I want my income 😅
