Ill be getting my MATB1 form soon to give to employer with an expected maternity start date.
I work from home at a desk so feel like I can work later into the pregnancy but I remember how tough it gets after 33 or so weeks!
Just intrigued what everyone else's plans are as id like a bit of nesting time but not too much or money will run out quicker!

I'm planning literally as long as I possibly can! Daughter is starting school 10 days before due date so probably until then so I can be there for her :)

I also work from home. Due date is 11th Sept so I’m going to do my best to go up to the end of August x

My holidays run July - June so I'm hoping to book the last 2 weeks of August as holiday as I won't have used any entitlement for that period, and then start mat leave in September, I'm due 19th so would be like 35 weeks when I go off.....that's the plan anyway, still thinking of others ways it may work where I can use holidays before starting mat leave

Im hoping to work up to about 2 weeks before my due date, then go on leave. I’m going to be a first time mum, so wanting a little time to myself before baby arrives! I do work in an office 5 days a week.

My due date is mid September, I’m planning to work up until the end of August which should coincide with my little boy starting school nursery, so I’ll be able to take him!

I’m due 10th September, hoping to start mat leave on my due date but use some holiday in early September to stop working from the end of August.
I work in an office 2-3 days a week but depending how I feel I will be looking to scale that back in August especially if there’s another heat wave as the commute will be challenging!

Im hoping to finish mid August so around 36/37 weeks. Im in the office four days a week and its a 45 min drive so hoping that gets reduced a bit!
