Wondering the same thing! I've had a straightforward pregnancy so far so I'm hoping to go to 38 weeks but would be keen to advice from people who've done it before!

This pregnancy I’m officially starting Mat leave at 29 weeks (my body isn’t keeping up with this twin pregnancy)
With my first (singleton) we had lots of problems throughout the pregnancy and I went on maternity at 35 weeks but I planned on staying at work until 37 weeks however the appointments became daily so I just couldn’t carry on trying to work around them.

I’m going at 36 only because my first came at 37 so I don’t want to take any risks this time. If I listened to my body I’d go earlier than that x

I’m planning to work until 39 weeks. My last two babies came at 41 weeks. I went off at 37 weeks with both of them and I was bored haha. However this time I do work from home so I feel it is easier to keep working than when I was working in a school x
