Oh the 4th of November, how i love the sound of that date!! I have finally given my date for maternity leave- Nov 4th (as if you hadn't guessed!!) i will be 30 weeks pregnant when i leave but it will give me loads of time with Amy before baby 2 comes along, plus i have really bad SPD so it will be well earned rest, mind you to be honest i get more rest being at work!! Lol Anyway, i thought i would tell you all as i am so looking forward to leaving, its only 5 weeks away Yippeeeeee!!
I know how you feel, my leave date is 11th Nov only 6 weeks away!!! and im counting every week!!! Well unless my scan tmrw tells me i need to leave before that as my little one is measuring at 36cm instead of about 32!!! Natalie x
I am looking forward to my leaving date as well which is the day before Xmas eve. However I am also looking forwrad to the day when my three-day week kicks in in about eight weeks time. My tail bone (coccyx) drives me mad with pain most days, even with my special cushion, and I can't wait to stop sitting down all day. counting down the days as well!
Mine is the 20th of November, I will be 36 weeks at that time!!! Sometimes I wonder how am I going to manage, fortunately, there are ante-natal appointments quite regularly now so I can use that to have a bit of a lie-in from time to time In a way, I cannot wait so I can prepare the nursery and everything and in another way I am thinking if I can push it further, that will give me more time with baby as I am taking 18 weeks of Maternity leave. How long do you plan to stay on maternity leave everybody?
As long as possible. My job will stay open for a whole year and I am planning on taking most of that, for a lot of reasons. One small reason is that I won't feel under pressure to give birth right on the due date, because I will be off for ages afterwards anyway.
My official maternity leave date is 09.01.06 which is 9 days before i am due to give birth. Will actually be of from 23.12.05 as our office closes for a full 2 weeks for christmas. I wanted to work as late as possible so that i could have longer of afterwards. Fingers crossed i dont have to finish any earlier for any reason!
