Ohh just found the answer online:

You can start your maternity leave at any time in, or after, the 11th week before your baby is due. However, your maternity leave will start automatically if you are off work for a pregnancy-related illness from the fourth week before your baby is due.

Hi Lucy,

Just seen this thread sowee

You can be signed off right up until 4 weeks prior to your due date, as when u hit the 4 weeks b4 ur due date you have to start maternity leave (providing the reason you are signed off is pregnancy related)

I was signed off from 6 months-have had a battle with HR this week who have refused me to go from sick to annual to mat.

PM me if u need any info xx
