How to handle baby due in the middle of contract?

[jmo21]

Current client co were aiming for a start date 1 month before my son was due.

I didn't tell the agent until I'd been offered the contract.

Accepted, explaining I would need 2 weeks off around the due date. To be honest, if the client had withdrawn the offer I wouldn't have been surprised.

But they were fine about it.

The start date slipped by a week while they finalised the contract and budget, and then junior decided to arrive 2 weeks early.

They said not to worry, we'll put the contract start back another 2 weeks and you can start fresh.

My previous client was equally as amicable, it's nice to know they're not all monsters!
