The idea to which I refer is ridiculous and is based on the ignorance of people who believe that women can produce babies to a set timetable. It forces people to be dishonest. People applying for maternity leave pick a date – which they may not believe to be correct, but which is later than the due date and which suits them – in order to ensure that they do not have to leave work too early. It does not make any sense. It is a small matter and it should be changed.
