How long are you taking for maternity?

Hey ladies! For those of you on maternity, or already gone back to work... How long did you take for maternity leave? My 6 month maternity ends in a months time, and I had originally planned to take some of the unpaid leave. But, I've been offered a good part-time job that will be great in the long run. I'm just really not ready to leave my little girl, she'll only be 5 months old when my maternity is over. Hoping for some inspiration 💕

Can you Camelia? I thought that was a no go. I sell online, all goes through the tax man but didn't think I could sell while on parental leave

My twins will be just shy of seven months when I return. If the job will benefit you in the long term then I would be inclined to go for it. Alternatively, take your five weeks parents leave before you leave your current job, and that will bring you to six months!
