Maternity Protection (Amendment) Bill 2003: Second Stage.
It can sometimes be the case that a pregnancy does not go to full term because of premature birth. In such cases, the mother may not have availed of her entitlement to attend a complete set of classes and hence section 7 provides that the set of classes may be attended during one or more pregnancies. In other words, she can carry them forward to future pregnancies.
