When can I ask gynae for HL

Hi mummies. I’m currently at 34 weeks and already super tired to keep working. My next appointment with my gynae, I will be at 36 to almost 37 weeks. I’m taking private at KKH. If I ask my gynae for HL, would it be approved?#pregnancy #1sttimemom

Hi there! I totally understand how exhausting it can be to work while being 34 weeks pregnant. It's completely normal to feel tired and in need of some rest. When it comes to asking your gynae for HL (I'm assuming you mean hospital leave), it's definitely worth discussing with your doctor at your next appointment. At 36 to almost 37 weeks, you are nearing the end of your pregnancy, and it's important to prioritize your health and well-being, as well as that of your baby. Your gynae will consider your individual circumstances and may approve HL if they believe it's necessary for your health and the health of your baby. I would recommend being honest with your gynae about how you're feeling and explaining why you think HL would be beneficial for you at this stage. They may also be able to provide other recommendations or support to help manage your fatigue and discomfort during these last few weeks. Remember that taking care of yourself is so important, especially during this special time of growing a little human. I hope your gynae is understanding and supportive of your needs. Wishing you all the best as you approach the final stretch of your pregnancy! #pregnancy #1sttimemom https://invl.io/cll6she
