Meredith: Haha, no choice leh. Cos my EDD is on 26th Dec. If i take Maternity leaves starting on 22th Dec, my colleague said i will 'lose out' the 1 day due to Xmas Day.
My colleague said the maternity leaves also counted for weekends and public holidays ehh (company give us 84 days). As i intend to take only 3mths maternity (though i yearn to take 4mth, boss surely kill me), so effectively i got less than 2 and 1/2 mths maternity only, if minus off the weekends.
Hopefully my gynae is willing to give me like 1-2 weeks hospitalisation leaves for me to stay at home before my EDD lor, else i will work all the way till 26th Dec. A few of my colleagues work all the way till their waterbag burst in the office ...
