Just a general enquiry really because I'm so stressed out about the situation I am in with my employer. I work as a registered nurse for our local nhs foundation trust. I am currently 27 weeks pregnant and about 7 weeks ago I was diagnosed with SPD. I have been unable to work for the past 2 weeks as my mobilityhas been seriously affected. The physio and doctor both say physically I can no longer do my job and my gp signed me off on long term sick as they say the problem will get worse rather than better. I contacted my employer yesterday and informed them of the situation to be told they will commence my maternity leave early- 11 weeks prior to EDD. Does anyone know if they can legally do this? And if they can do this will I be able to request to return to work instead and do very light duties to prevent this from happening as I don't want to lose the time with my baby, it's too precious!
