How close to take leave befor due date??

Question

This is baby number 3 and I was wondering when I should take leave from work befor the baby's due date since this is my first time work while pregnant?? Any help on when I should go on leave would be great I am due September 25!

Answer

I plan on working until I go into labor.

Answer

I'm taking off a month before. Which I know sounds like a lot of time but I'm a chef. I'm constantly on my feet (which already are killing me) and it's VERY HOT in our kitchen (no AC so it could get up to 120 degrees in there)
I'm lucky I'm in a financial situation I can do that though, I understand a lot are not so blessed.

Answer

I do home health care and I drive like an hour to my clients house and that's why I am unsure when to take leave

Answer

I took all of my sick and vacation days at week 37. I was going to wait until 38 weeks but I had to be induced for medical reasons at 39 weeks so I wanted to have 2 weeks to prepare and relax before baby. It was the right choice for me because it was August and I was really swollen and work was getting to be super uncomfortable. So I technically didn't start my "maternity" leave until after I gave birth because I saved up sick/vacation to take beforehand.

Answer

I work an hour away and I'm also a nurse. This is my first and I think I'm going to take off a week before my due date.

Answer

I worked up until I had the baby, I wound up being induced on Wednesday 4/13 which I already had the day off so my maternity leave started 4/14 which is when I wound up having the baby.

Answer

I'm working till I go into labor
