A.Good evening!
The details given are insufficient to provide any specific legal advice. Regardless, I assume you are asking if you can apply for maternity leave for your third child. If so, this would be the laws relating to it. The maternity leave given to women comes under the Maternity Benefit Act, 1961 and for first and second-time mothers, the Act states that the mother can take 6 months, or 26 weeks, off. With every subsequent child, the mother can avail 3 months, or 12 weeks, off for her maternity leave, which is a paid leave wherein her employer needs to pay her salary in full. One condition is that the woman should have worked with her employer for at least 80 days in the 12 months preceding the date of her expected delivery.
So, in your case, if you have worked for the required period, you would be eligible for 3 months or 12 weeks off with full salary.
