If you were a student and If you applied (although not mandatory) for a Registration Certificate as a student without insurance you would have been covered but you are not because you applied as worker
maternity leave were you still employed then or after you left the job ? I believe the way UKBA look at it is that you are either exercising treaty rights or you are not. Voluntary unemployment ( not maternity leave) to be a full-time mother is regarded by UKBA as not exercising treaty rights - unless the person exercises treaty rights as self-sufficient
If EEA nationals want to exericise treaty rights as self-sufficient they are supposed to live without reliance on public funds.
Also, to be self-sufficient they should also have comprehensive sickness insurance (CSI) for themselves and all family members - without relying on the UK's NHS ( even if the non-EEA spouse works and pays tax and national insurance.)
you may ask polish health authorities to issue you a letter. If you do get one let us know how you manage one because you are not alone in this forum . i've seen 5/6 people asking about the same question.
