I’ll be 38 weeks x

I’m going off on annual leave at 34+3 but my actual mat leave is starting at 39

I’d say leave it as long as you can, think about your return. It never feels like long enough and you need as much time as possible with your baby.

My actual mat leave starts at 38+4 but I’m taking some annual leave so will finish at 37+6. I wanted to try and have as much time with baby on maternity before having to return so have left it later x

I’m still 24 weeks , would love to go at 34 weeks 😀

For everyone it’s different. I worked until the Friday before my daughter was due due on the Monday.
I wanted all the time with my LO after the birth. I walked to the office and everything.
I work for a new company now and WFH, so I’ll be doing the same again. No one expects anything from you those last few weeks 😂 if handed everything over and created products to be distributed in my absence. so I was well prepared to go off, I simply enjoyed he social element of going into the office 🤍

I'm going off at 35+2, weeks, but the next 3 weeks is annual leave so my official maternity leave starts at 37+6. And I cannot wait 😁 roll on 1st October!

36 weeks I think not decided yet but makes sense to finish end of October x

38 weeks. 1 week before C-section. I will then use my AL to have 14 months mat leave with baby x
