Morv,
I used to work in a company that pretty much made you leave work when you were around 32weeks!
The absolutely ridiculous thing was that (being single at the time) Centrelink made me go on Job Search & told me if I did not physically go & look for work, I was not entitled to a cent, I was massively pregnant & who in their right mind would have employed me... many arguments later... They put me on sickness benefits!?
