Throughout my maternity leave vs Throughout maternity leave

Both phrases are correct, but they are used in slightly different contexts. 'Throughout my maternity leave' is more specific and personal, indicating that the speaker is referring to their own maternity leave. On the other hand, 'throughout maternity leave' is more general and can refer to maternity leave in a broader sense, not necessarily the speaker's own. The choice between the two depends on the intended emphasis and context.
