Graduate scheme and baby

Hi,

I'm due to graduate university this June and am hoping to start a graduate scheme in September. My partner and I have been discussing our future, and having a baby is definitely part of that. My partner is 8 years older than me so is definitely keen to start trying soon, however I don't know where I would stand regarding maternity leave or if I can even take it.

Does anyone know anything about this? Can the company end my contract if I do get pregnant? What would I be entitled to?

Thank you
