I am about to start maternity leave in 2 weeks (the baby is not born yet). At the same time, my husband is about to start running a small grocery shop that is owned by his friend. We have high hopes because it might be a start of our own business in the future.

Is it legal for me to work a little in the shop, helping my husband, while I am on maternity leave?? I would not get paid, I just would like to help him, maybe with computer and accepting payments, no handling or carrying things, but I dont want to loose my benefits....
