I hope you don't have too. I had a subpoena to give evidence when I was 36 weeks pregnant. I was very stressed for the months beforehand and the police didn't seem to care about the mental health of me and my bub with all the stress they were causing. I offered to do it in another room because I was so scared of seeing the guy, but they said I had too. In the end , on the day the judge decided my statement on paper was enough so I didnt have to go on the stand. It upset me so much because they decided this on the day and I had to see the guy in the hallway who I was scared of knowing my identity.
Stressful and scary and not something a person needs when they are about to give birth or while they are on mat leave with a baby!
