So im in the UK and I’ll get 9 months paid (less than half my normal pay) leave. I’m planning to take this from my due date. I’ll also have about 5 weeks holiday to take.

I’m due the 1st October, I’m also moving house sometime in August. This is my first baby.

I was planning to take a couple weeks holiday before my due date and a couple weeks holiday after my maternity leave.

Now I’m getting very uncomfortable! And know I’m just toing to get worse and I still need to move house and prepare for the little one!

I’m working from home atm but still feeling uncomfortable. I’m also worried about the possible return to the office so late in my pregnancy and risk of Covid.

Very tempted to use all my holiday before maternity leave and have a month of before the baby.

I know I won’t get bored as I have a whole house to sort out, baby things to organise and also a YouTube channel.

What do you think?
