Hi everyone,
I'm working from home this week after discussing it with my employer. Since I haven't been feeling completely well, especially with Corona around, we've decided to stay home this week. I've reported myself as sick under pregnancy-related leave, and I'm 17 weeks pregnant. Now I keep hearing different things, but I'm just wondering simply whether this week of being sick will also cost me vacation days? So will I have less leave later because I'm sick at 17 weeks?

    Just to add: I don't have corona, but I mean more the situation with corona and the risk.

    No, because you're only 17 weeks pregnant. Your maternity leave can start no earlier than 6 weeks before your due date. So, at 34 weeks.

    Normally not, they're postponing it. I can't work anymore due to corona, they're closed until April 5th, and I had also taken leave during that period. And since I'm now working on a part-time basis, my leave is being postponed.
