I’ll be working until 35 weeks.

37+6 days for me (unless baby has other ideas 😁) xx

I am taking 3 weeks holiday before I start so I'll be 30 weeks.

I have 2 weeks left 🥳 ill be 31+4. But using 4 weeks of holiday before mat leave starts so mat leave will be from 35/36 weeks 😀 xx

Day before due date x

36+2 for me, I work from home just cba 🤣

39 weeks x

36+1 for me!
2 weeks AL then my mat leave starts the following week!

Same as others i am WFH now during pregnancy but over it and happy to have a couple weeks to myself before baby #2!

I’m starting maternity leave at 34 weeks.

38 weeks for me. Baby due via C-section week 39. Luckily I’m WFH now until then

I’ll be 34 weeks when I finish but mat leave doesn’t start until I’m 37 weeks as I’m using annual leave xx

Im off already - getting maternity allowance

I go on mat leave on the 20th Feb. And if I could manage a cartwheel…I would be through the exit door 🤣 🤸

Just before 37 weeks but regretting it. Might use some more holidays before…

37 weeks! I’ll be booked for a c section roughly 1 week before due date, which is when my maternity leave will start. Using 2 weeks annual leave before that too, so finishing a total of 3 weeks before due date ☺️ x

Aiming for 37 weeks - my first born came at 38 weeks so I don’t want to risk leaving it any later 😂

34 with two weeks leave then 36 mat leave. Can't wait! X

39 + 2 days :/ my son came a day early though so may be cutting it a bit fine! :/

36 weeks for me, but taking 2 weeks annual leave first and then maternity leave officially at 38 weeks to build up the funds ☺️

36 weeks, I feel like I need time to actually sort everything out and work is just tiring me out too much already

Thanks for this post, reassuring to hear everyone else is as desperate to finish work as me😂

37 weeks.... And c section at 39 weeks lol. Not sure how I'm going to make it!!!

Yah initially I was like yeah will be totally fine, I probably won't even need 2 weeks I'll be bored just sitting around lol

Currently aiming to work until 38weeks

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

Spicy chat

Anyone up for a spicy chat, I’m horny

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

What happened to Zainab

Hey guys haven’t been on here in a sec! Just come to realise I haven’t seen any posts / comments from Zainab (I’m sure that’s her name 🫠) hoping she is ok , I’m sure she was a Mod but can’t seem to find her anymore 🤔

Vitamins?

Does anyone do vitamins for their one year old?
Just seeing if it’s worth trying as the never ending colds and illnesses are battering our house 😂
