Hey Hun, I'm sorry you are having such a rubbish time! They have been awful with you!! I just wanted to mention that im sure when I was off pregnant with my son the policy was if you are sick 4 weeks before you are due then mat leave will automatically start not 4 weeks before mat leave is due to start. Double check though Hun, just thought I'd mention because work is the last place you want to be while you are waiting x x x
