Maternity Leave Confusion: Can It Cover Pregnancy-Related Sickness and Doctor Visits?

Can we avail maternity leave for sickness arising out of pregnancy or for doctor's consultations throughout the maternity period?

You can have leave for sickness arising out of pregnancy (maximum 30 days for sickness arising out of pregnancy and delivery taken together), but not for consultation.

As Mr. Varghese Mathey said, maternity leave is a statutory leave that must be utilized only during the preceding and succeeding periods of delivery, and not for any consultancy.
