I recently started early maternity leave due to mental health with my dad passing away recently. And now that I’m off - I have no idea what to do with myself most days 😅 I feel like I can’t fill my days at all.

SLEEP. Do it while you can 🤣 on a side not I did tons of classes, from baby massage, colostrum collection to puzzles and diamond painting, cross stitches... Tons ahahaha. I was not however in maternity leave but during COVID home as the work was closed but same thing I suppose

I’m still working just now but finish up for mat leave in April and in the time before baby comes I’m planning to batch cook a lot of stuff, it’s so nice to not have to think about cooking dinner when you have a newborn x

I’m planning on finishing up in April too, and I’m due early May. Have started a list of ideas of things to do during that time - batch cook & freeze; pack hospital bags; get a massage/facial; buying any final bits; sorting out home environment for baby; read, sleep, walk and eat nice food 😊

I started off cleaning and preparing bur now been waiting for baby for 3.5 weeks of leave and he's overdue. The cleaning just needs done again every couple days so I've made a favourite of taking myself out for lunch and Cinema totally alone as I know I won't get that again for a while and it's amazing. I cant walk much without pain so been doing swimming and meeting friends for brunch and coffees etc. Trying to just enjoy the downtime. Also naps, baths

I plan to do daily walk as I’m use to being on the go, finish nursery and do her clothes, got a wee baby moon with partner to Berwick and just rest as much as I can xx
