I've also just confirmed my last day, which will be when I'm 36 weeks! The countdown is on haha!! X
@Cassie I'm starting my mat leave 2 weeks before my due date, but also adding on 2 weeks of annual leave before that. I work for the NHS and if you go off sick past 37 weeks, your mat leave automatically starts and as I have been so poorly, in and out of hospital, I wanted to make sure I knew when I was going to go off rather than be forced to go off!
Feels so good, doesn't it. I go off 3 months today 🙌. The countdown is very much on!
Inspired by you all. I’ve just booked two weeks off before my due date. 16 weeks to go for me but you are so right, it feels so good to have it decided and to start to count down the weeks.

Congrats. I’ve not decided when I go off yet. Which week did you decide to stop? I’m thinking 37/38 currently but fast loosing motivation and drive. Are you taking annual leave for a little nesting break before hand or starting maternity straight away?
