Do I need to inform work once baby arrive?

So ladies.. situation is as such
I am on leave wk 38-39, maternity starts wk 40. May be induced wk 38 or 39. M told maternity starts straight away when baby arrives. Holidays get cancelled and can be taken next year. So makes me wonder that I need to inform or not when baby arrives. I don’t want maternity to start earlier.
Thanks

I got a letter from HR acknowledging the date I would like to start my mat leave and confirming my return to work date.

It also said I must inform them if the baby arrives before the date I'm due to start mat leave.

So even if you are on AL when the baby is born you have to inform them if baby is born earlier so they can recalculate mat leave for you.

ok thanks

great thx

Your mat leave starts the date you leave work, not the date baby arrives

What I mean is the date of when your mat leave starts, that's without using annual leave which most people do

what haps to the holidays then?

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Worth the wait and pain. Baby girl arrived at 7:15 this am weighing 7lbs 6oz. She is so calm and chill.

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!

Growth scan

So had my 28 week midwife appointment- all good but after measuring bump- I’m now waiting on a scan within a few days as bump is measuring small I’m not worried as I am guessing a tape measure is hardly accurate but
For anyone who has been in a similar position- what was the outcome after the scan? Was the baby on the smaller side ?
Was baby measuring normal?

Thanks
