I had a time away from work when my husband and I struggled to have a chid, we suffered numerous miscarriages and had all tests done and was advised by the doctor that if I could to take time out of work to give us the best chance to have a baby that is what I should do. Once we had agreed that it was not meant to be for us, I returned to work.
