FREELANCERS: Does becoming a limited company affect your odds of getting freelance work? (if yes) how do others go about getting mat leave?

Context: I'm at the point in life where I'm thinking about having kids, and I don't think the government allowance would financially get me very far, so I want to change my company to an ltd. I've heard rumours that agencies only want to work with sole traders - is that true? If it is - how do others navigate mat leave?

Thanks in advance 😊
