Advice re working whilst on maternity leave

[Hellsbells]

Can anyone advise me on this please....

I'm due to give birth at the start of April and will be on maternity leave for approximately 9 months. In addition to my main job (based in the Isle of Man where I live), I also do work for 2 UK exam boards, marking exam papers online. I normally do this June/July time.
Would I theoretically still be able to do this while I'm on maternity leave?
Would my main job even know about the exam work if I took it on? I've been doing it the last 2 summers whilst doing my main job and it's never been an issue....

Just an idea but how about doing some online tutoring - lots of demand from Chinese students. You could do that from home and nobody would know about it (I assume). I don't know about the other things you're asking about.

Examining is alot easier. I don't really want to be lesson planning and dealing with the stress of teaching people. Especially if there's a high possibility the baby may start screaming or needing attention half way through a lesson.

Fair enough. I don't think you have to plan the way you would for "normal" lessons since there's just one student and they usually seem to need speaking and correction.
