when did you take maternity leave??

Willow

I'm 36 weeks +5 days, still working 3-5 days a week. which isn't much. but I work as a caregiver. with my back pain and swelling, it's been miserable. being a caregiver is rewarding, but so draining sometimes. i do love my job, its just getting harder to do. my due date is September 16th. according to my bosses, I can take leave as long as I need. it just might not be all paid leave. they're super supportive and want me back after I recover. so when did you take leave and why??? I want to take leave next month so bad. I still have so much nesting to do, and so little time to do it with working and being tired on my days off. opinions????
