Hey Mamas! When are you going on maternity leave?

Question

I have a physically demanding job as a yard dog, yard spotter, or yard jockey depends on what you call us. I'm getting up and down & in and out of the truck, not to mention I work in 100 degree weather every day for 12 hours. When are you moms going on leave? I'm thinking about 30 weeks for myself

Answer

Not until the baby is born, but I work a desk job from home so no need to for me to go on leave early unless something comes up!

Answer

Aiming to go around 34 weeks if I make it that far. I work in Aged Care, scary industry at the moment, and I want to be there for my residents and coworkers till I just about pop. I'm having twins, induced by 38w, so it's going to get difficult very soon but I'm hopeful!

Answer

I always take my leave when I go into labor. I’m doing the same this time around to.

Answer

32 weeks - the perks of living in Germany. We get 6 weeks maternity leave before due date and 8 weeks after - fully paid.

Answer

I wouldn’t give up that time with the baby. I would work until birth. I’m not sure what your mat leave looks like, but I only get 12 weeks. Any time off before baby would cut into that time.

Answer

I work in a shop, and currently they are saying your high risk from covid from 32 weeks, and can't work. Plus I would like all of christmas off. I normally work all Christmas, even had to work Christmas day last year, so looking forward to a laid back December x

Answer

I'm an educator for special needs kids and we go back in September. I plan to stay til Christmas break, pending on how reopening/safety goes.

Answer

If you are looking for your doctor to write you out, I would start planting the seed now about the physical stress your job puts on your body. Typically they won’t write you out until 36 weeks unless you’re high-risk, but if they are concerned about you or babies health you may get it sooner. Good luck!

Answer

I’m asking my doctor to put me off at 36 weeks.. I get 12-18 months paid mat leave. I’ll probably take 12 as that is what I did last time.
