I'm pissed on her behalf!

Need documentation over 28 weeks, kay, sure, that's stupid bullshit on its own, but whatevs.

But she's not. And then they fucking wheedle her.

Fuck off. 24 weeks. Conversation over. Shut the fuck up and do your job.

"I'm at 26 weeks" (actually at 30 weeks)

"Ok you're good to go."

something bad happens

"THEY LET ME THROUGH IT'S THEIR FAULT I'M GONNA SUE YOU" and the person loses their job even if they can somehow remember and prove this woman lied.

So your answer is, like always, shitty asshole liars ruin things for decent people.

You can't sue someone because you made a dumb choice and lied.

I think that's the point. It doesn't stop the occasional chancer from trying, but no this side of the pond at least you'll get short shrift if you do.

The whole thing is about limiting liability to the company. (In the pregnancy case I think there's an increased risk of thrombosis at late-stage.) Their policy says no paperwork is required, you say that applies to you; if something goes wrong after you lie then the onus is on you.
