Mat b2 form

Midwife will give it to you

I went to my 20 week scan but was told I would be given it by my midwife after 24 weeks which is frustrating as my work requires it by 25 to sort my maternity pay 🙃

My midwife gave me my MatB1 form at the 25 weeks appointment with my first two! Or you can request it from the hospital midwives. I’ve personally been told it can only be issued by my community midwife x

They weren’t able to give me mine at my 20 week scan as I was technically 19 weeks and 5 days. They said to just call the community midwife number when I was 20 weeks and I could go and collect it (which I did no problems)

You get it at 25 weeks. Technically your employer only needs it 21 days prior to your SMP start date but you have to have let them know your pregnant no later than 15 weeks prior to the expected week of childbirth.

Your midwife will give it to you, hospitals don’t have it, usually at 24 weeks. Your employer legally cannot demand this form prior to 24 weeks as it’s nhs policy not to issue it. I would direct them to google it if they insist.

My midwife gave it to me at 16 weeks and forward dated it to 20 weeks so I couldn't submit it before 20 weeks. There was no mention of the form at my scan yesterday but the scan wasn't very successful so I have to go back in two weeks! Did your sonographer give you a form today or direct you to your midwife?
