Can I get signed off for exhaustion when pregnant?

I am dur to finish work but I can't physically and emotionally bring myself to finish the week. I am. So exhausted and I cant stop crying. I've got postpartum depression and a 7m old not sleeping through the night and still breastfeeding 😭

Yes, but if you have a sickness at a certain point in your pregnancy that does trigger maternity leave so I'd double check ...

You can take your leave whenever you like girl! They can’t begrudge you starting it a few days early! Take that rest now and try get some you time! I had two under 2 and it’s pretty heavy going so I recommend literal bed rest with little walks, vitamins and excellent nutrition to get you prepared

Leaking waters?

I’m 35 weeks today wooo but… every morning for the past two weeks I’ve woken up with a palm sized water mark in my pants! - no smell, no pain and unaware of it happening…

I thought it might be leaking waters so got it checked out but the midwife said it was might be urine/watery discharge! - but it’s still happening.. thoughts? 💭🫶🏻
