When to take my maternity leave ?

Question

I'm a FTM and although I know slot of people like to work until they can't anymore I'm just wondering when is a good or appropriate time to take maternity leave.. I get 12 weeks through my job and as much as I'd like to stop working now lol I gotta tough it out.. so when would be a good time.. 8 months.. maybe 9..

Answer

I worked the day before I had my baby. I wanted to spend every moment I could after he was born

Answer

I will work until I can't anymore so hopefully up until I go into labor. I'm 34 weeks now and feeling great still very active and had a very easy pregnancy so far! I want all 12 weeks home to be with my baby. I am a social worker and do home visits so just hoping that nothing happens while visiting a client!! My supervisor has already said she will be limiting my workload as it gets closer to my due date and I'm going to ask to work either at home or a work site closer to home as it gets closer to due date just to be safe!

Answer

I'm 15wks today & trying my best to work until the very end because I would like to spend as much time as possible with my newborn.

Answer

I get 12 weeks through work but I already know I'll be a stay at home mom once I have my baby so I'm thinking of taking maternity leave early so I can rest up destress from work and get everything ready

Answer

I'm able to work from home the last two weeks so at 37 weeks I'll see if I'm dilated or close then start working from home. I want 12 weeks with him. Esp given his,spot in daycare doesn't start until jan so I need to work until last minute

Answer

I stopped at 36 weeks!
