    Related question (sorry tk1999 hope you don't mind) if you stop working like a month or two months before the EDD can you still be entitled to the government paid parental leave?

    as long as you meet the other requirements - if you finish up 2 months before edd, you would have had to work 10 of the 11 months prior to ceasing work

    and you can't go too early as you can't have more than 8 week break between work days (or finishing up and giving birth) - unless their are extenuating circumstances (like pregnancy related illnesses)

    I'm pretty sure you can't have more than 8 consecutive weeks between last working day and edd. Someone correct me f i am wrong...

    ETA: Yeah, what BG said
