Although your midwife should automatically give you a MAT B1 form at the antenatal appointment that takes place after your week scan, you may need to request it - it is available from either your midwife or your doctor.
If you work two jobs, you'll need to give a copy of the MAT B1 form to both employers. Once you've given it to your employer, you can start arranging your maternity pay and benefits. Remember you need to give your employer at least 28 days notice before you begin claiming your SMP, so it's a good idea to get this sorted sooner rather than later. That said, whilst it's tempting to share your exciting news with your colleagues right away, most people wait until after their week-scan , when the risk of miscarriage is reduced.
You should check your contract and speak to your employer to find out your entitlement. You must tell your employer that you are pregnant at least 15 weeks before your due date. You should let your employer know when you would like to start your maternity leave and agree a date when your leave will start.
If your baby is born early or before the date you plan to start your leave, it will automatically start from the day after the birth.
If you are off sick in the 4 weeks before your due date with a pregnancy-related illness, your maternity leave will start automatically on the first day of your absence.
You may be able to take shared parental leave with your partner, and this is something you should discuss between you. You may be eligible for Maternity Allowance. This is a benefit paid by Jobcentre Plus to pregnant women who are self-employed, recently employed or cannot get SMP.
You can ask to start your payments from as early as 11 weeks before your due date.
