Work wants me to go to casual just before I go on maternity leave

Stick to your guns and say no to casual. You know your rights, even if they don't.

hey little sprocket

I was a fulltime student and worked casually but I deferred my studies and left work (work was unsafe for pregnancy) quite early in my pregnancy.

Reading your post just now, I realise my pregnancy would have been alot different if I continued uni, sitting and studying for exams as well as still working.

People ask me what I have been up to and I say "oh just being pregnant". I really appreciate that I can nurture myself and my baby and have more than ample time to prepare for his arrival.

So I would not go casual either, take the time that is righfully yours for you and your baby.
