how far on were you when you started yours?

I have been thinking that me starting on fri 13th when Im due 18th is 2 late I need to rest before baby I am so tired now never mind in a few weeks x
 
I had annual leave to take so I finished at 35 weeks, my maternity leave has officially started today.
 
im due may 28th, my maternity leave officially starts may 20th as ive used holiday but i really finished last thursday
 
wow, that does seem like leaving a bit to the last minute. Do you think your work would be happy for you to leave earlier?

I am taking a week's holiday from monday 9 june, then maternity leave starts on monday 16th. I am due (as you know!) on 28th.

It all depends on your job. If it's stressful maybe you should try for earlier, if you are still enjoying then stay as long as you like. My situation is different as it's a family business working from a home office, so the environment is quite laid back and if I get back ache or the like, I go for a 10 minute lie down! I am due around 13th July and will probably finish on the friday 4th July. However, if I'm still feeling fine I'll continue to go in, but maybe just do 10.30 - 4pm.
 
ah i see.

18 days sounds like a nice length of time. Give you some time to sort all your bits out and have a well earned rest!
 
I'm due to start mine on the 28th June, when i am due on the 30th..... I now don't think I can make it that long so I'm intending to use 2 weeks of hols beforehand so I'll finish when i am 38 weeks (I'd finish now if I could but I have too many loose ends to tie up)

UPDATE: I actually spoke to my boss yesterday and I am taking three weeks holiday beforehand... so I only have three weeks left and I'll be 36weeks!!
 
I was gonna work right up, but i was finding that even though they changed my work so i was sat down half the day the 4 hours on m feet were killing me, i was going home with painful feet and legs and back and bloody everything, plus i was totally fed up of the stress of hearing about baby daddy and his shinanagans (sp)

I started my leave at 32 weeks and have 4 weeks holiday to take, so i will start being paid maternity leave at 37 weeks, which i dont think is too bad, plus this months been a busy one, i only worked weekends and i needed last sat off, this sunday, weekend after (for my birthday) and have now planned to take a long weekend away weekend after that, so i wouldnt have worked much anyway.

And the best thing.... I havnt heard one word about or from baby daddy since leaving :rotfl: :cheer:
