Re: Pregnant during exams
If she is fit and healthy, there is no reason not to....many self employed people go from their desk to the maternity ward. I worked until a few days before I gave birth (OK....came a week early but I was delighted not to have to sit around the house for a month). In fact, she may have some very valid reason to do the course (may have a job dependant on the result or may require an professional retrain to continue trading).
She's not an employee, as far as I can see, so I don;t know how/if they can enforce this policy on her. Whats next, hotels & restaurants saying you can't stay/eat there in the last few weeks of pregnancy??
When is you due date & what are the dates of the course? If the baby comes early, then you probably will have to defer & will more than likely lose any fees paid...but many babies have a habit of arriving late !
Ask to get a copy of their maternity policy and then find out if it is enforceable.
