It seems he isn't supposed to have the leave until the baby is born. However, even if he booked for 19/10 for a week's paternity leave, it doesn't mean necessarily she'd arrive then (I know I'm not allowed to go overdue but that doesn't apply to everyone does it).
If he takes next week off and she hasn't arrived, will he not get any other time off when she does? Would he have to change next week into holiday/unpaid leave and move his paternity leave date? He couldn't give 28 days notice now though as required.
I'm really confused.
What happens to those of you who had hubby book paternity leave for when bubs was due but then went 2 weeks over? Did hubby just cancel and wait or did you do something else when bubs arrived?
I'm getting a very stressed head about all this
